## What it does

The skill covers the keyword half of pin work: query research and the copy that ranks in Pinterest search. It runs the FOUND framework — find real queries through autocomplete, Guided Search bubbles and Trends, then write a title in the `[Keyword] | [Benefit] | [Context]` shape up to 100 characters and a natural description of 100–200 characters. Search volume is never invented; the method is only advised.

Before writing, it reads brand-profile and the destination page the pin links to. From there it suggests a board name and description, the keyword for the on-pin overlay, and a link aligned with the query. Pin, board and page have to carry the same keyword phrase, otherwise the pin loses relevance.

WoopSocial publishes the title, description, board and link. Everything else stays with you: profile bio, board creation, alt text, Rich Pins, and Pinterest Trends or Analytics lookups. Keyword stuffing gets suppressed, so padding the description with terms backfires. The skill pairs with `pinterest-pin-design` — the keyword goes into both the overlay and the title.

  The Pinterest SEO / search-ranking skill -- the keyword layer that pairs with pinterest-pin-design's visual.
  Use when someone wants pins to rank in Pinterest search, needs keyword research, or wants
  keyword-optimized pin titles/descriptions/boards. Pinterest is a visual search engine where keywords
  and relevance rank you, not followers. Uses the FOUND framework. Reads brand-profile + the pin's
  destination first. The agent researches real queries (autocomplete + Guided Search + Trends; never
  fabricates volume), writes the keyword-led title + a natural description (no stuffing), specs the
  on-pin overlay keyword, and advises boards + link. WoopSocial publishes the pin's title + description
  + board + link; profile/bio, board setup, alt text, Rich Pins, and Trends/Analytics stay native/human.
  No stuffing; Pin->Board->Page must match; fresh pins, not dupes. Distinct from pinterest-pin-design
  (the visual), pinterest-growth (the strategy), and social-seo (cross-cutting search).

# pinterest-seo

The **keyword / search-ranking layer** — research the queries and write the keyworded words that make a pin
rank. The agent **researches + writes the title/description + specs the on-pin keyword + advises the board/
link**; **WoopSocial publishes the pin's title + description + board + link**; **profile, board setup, alt
text, Rich Pins, and the research tools are native/advised.**

## The POV: a visual search engine — keywords rank you, not followers
Pinterest is **"Google with pictures"** (631M MAU Q1 2026, **DA 94**, pins also rank in Google image results),
where **~97% of top searches are unbranded** and **follower count barely matters — keywords + relevance +
engagement rank you.** Pins have a **~4-month lifespan**, so optimization **compounds.** The craft is
Pinterest-specific: research via **autocomplete + Guided Search bubbles + Trends**, layer **long-tail
keywords** across profile → board → pin, align **Pin → Board → Page**, and optimize for **saves + long
clicks.** WoopSocial publishes the pin's **title + description + board + link**; the rest is native/advised.
**Pairs with `pinterest-pin-design`** (the keyword goes in the overlay AND the title).

## Read these first
1. **brand-profile** — niche/voice.
2. the **destination** — the page the pin links to.

## The framework: FOUND
(Depth: `references/the-found-framework.md`.)
- **F — Find the real queries:** Pinterest autocomplete + Guided Search bubbles + Trends/Predicts; long-tail
  (3+ words); think like a searcher. *Advise the method; never fabricate volume.*
