## What it does

The skill treats Pinterest as a visual discovery engine rather than a traditional social network. It prioritizes keyword discoverability, vertical pins, and direct links to relevant target pages. Following the PINS framework, the agent drafts pin copy, structures keyword-themed boards, and plans steady publishing cadences.

Workflow execution relies on adjacent tooling. The agent reviews `brand-profile` and `voice-builder` first to preserve brand identity and tone. Graphic creation routes to `pinterest-pin-design`, while queueing and publishing hand off to WoopSocial. Traffic metrics and click reports come directly from native Pinterest Analytics without fabricated estimates.

Building sustainable traffic requires consistent output over multiple months, so this playbook will not deliver instant spikes. To avoid spam penalties, the agent enforces spaced intervals between pins pointing to the exact same destination URL.

  The Pinterest growth playbook for 2026. Use when someone wants to "grow on Pinterest," "get traffic
  from Pinterest," "a Pinterest strategy," a pin cadence/board structure, or to turn blog/product
  content into pins. Pinterest is a visual SEARCH engine where keyword-optimized, fresh, vertical
  pins compound into evergreen outbound traffic — optimise for discoverability + clicks, not
  in-the-moment engagement. Uses the PINS framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first. The
  agent drafts pins + the schedule; WoopSocial schedules/publishes pins; metrics come from native
  Pinterest Analytics; nothing is fabricated. For "Pinterest SEO" / "rank my pins" / keyword
  titles-descriptions route to pinterest-seo; for designing the pin image route to
  pinterest-pin-design. Pairs with content-recycling.

# pinterest-growth

The **Pinterest platform engine** — search-first mechanics, fresh vertical pins, keyword/SEO, and
outbound traffic that compounds. The agent drafts pins + SEO copy + schedule; the image skills produce
the designs; **scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial** publishes the pins.

## The POV: a search engine where content compounds
Pinterest isn't social media — it's a **visual search engine** (think Google, not Instagram). Users
arrive **with intent**, discovery is **keyword-driven not follower-driven**, and **pins are evergreen**
(months–years), so today's work keeps paying for **years**. Optimise for **discoverability + outbound
clicks**, not in-the-moment engagement. The levers: **keyword SEO**, **fresh distinct pin designs**,
the **2:3 format**, and — uniquely among the majors — **linking out** (Pinterest *wants* to send you
traffic). It's a **long game (3–6 months to traction)**. Best for **visual/product/lifestyle/
e-commerce/blog-traffic** brands.

## Read these first
1. **brand-profile** — look, palette, audience, non-negotiables.
2. **voice-builder** — so pin titles/descriptions sound like the brand.

## The framework: PINS
(Depth: `references/the-pins-framework.md`.)
- **P — Position for search:** keyword research first (Pinterest Trends/autocomplete; long-tail,
  semantic); keywords in title/description/board/alt/filename; boards as keyword-themed clusters.
  (The keyword-research + title/description craft → `pinterest-seo`.)
- **I — Images that stop + signal:** vertical **2:3 (1000×1500)** (other ratios penalized) + keyword
  text overlay; static for traffic, video (9:16, 6–15s) for engagement; the pin's visual craft →
  `pinterest-pin-design` (rendered via the image skills).
```
