How to Find the Keywords You Rank for on Pinterest
Want to know what keywords Pinterest rank for your account? Use this tool to find out.
Why Knowing What Keywords Pinterest Ranks You for Are Important
If you are in the fitness niche you want Pinterest keywords to rank you for fitness keywords. You don’t want them to think your account is about travel.
If Pinterest can’t tell what your profile is about how is it going to successfully put your pins in front of the right people. Using the right Pinterest keywords is a must to be found in search results.
It’s not going to. They will show your pins to a few people and then because they aren’t related or even interested in that topic they wont engage with the pin. Now Pitnerst thinks the pin isn’t good and wont show it to anymore people.
Is that happening to your pins a lot? Are you adding them and they aren’t going anywhere? It is might be because Pinterest is a bit confused on what the pin is about or your profile.

How to Find Pinterest Keywords Your Rank for via Tailwind
The easiest way I have found to find the keywords Pinterest thinks I am ranking for is using Tailwind.
If you do not have Tailwind you need to get it. Hands down only way to be successful on Pinterest in my opinion. Not only does it schedule for you they have even better analytics then Pinterest does.
Tailwind offers a word cloud feature. Tailwind is pulling together the keywords they (and Pinterest in tandem) think your website and pins are about. They are pulling the Pinterest keywords from your descriptions and pins from your website.
This collection of words stems from the phrases users use when pinning from your site. The bigger the word, the more often it’s found.

What Keywords Does Pinterest Rank You For?
If your website and business account is about fitness I hope you only see fitness related Pinterest keywords, do you?
Below is my Tailwind word cloud with you from my Hudson Farmhouse Blog account.

These keywords are all on track. I pulled this screenshot from Tailwind in August when I am pinning for fall decor.
One of my most popular posts right now is about rugs. Bathrooms are always popular on my blog and so is budget friendly home decor. My name is even on there! More on that trick later 😉

You can also change the time frame on the word cloud feature to pull the most used keywords for up to the last 30 days by clicking on the calendar on the top right of the page.
