How to Optimize your Pinterest Profile with SEO Keywords

I have been reading that you should optimize basically anything that allows you to type in it on your profile.

However, I do want to add, I also read that you should add text to some of the images you use for pins because the algorithm can detect text on photos and uses that as well. I digress.

Ok… let’s do this.

So here is what my Profile currently looks like.

And, I’m pretty sure that one follower, is a bot LOL.

  1. So I have been reading article after article and watching Tik Tok and Youtube videos to gather research and everything says to first optimize this part of your profile.

  2. Hit Edit Profile

3. so everything here affects your SEO. My brand is Ellen Forest / Elle Forest and Forest Witch and I would like cross platform recognition one day, so I am going to leave my name as is and focus mostly on my “About” section.

4. So I guess this is the part that always really stresses me out. Where everyone is like get a niche! and niche yourself down! I agree with this to an extent, but it also then becomes limiting. I am also super ADHD and I get bored and need to have different areas I can put energy into. I am aiming, again—to create a lifestyle blog with brand recognition across multiple platforms that represents my life and the things I am actively passionate about. However, I do have general categories of things that make up “my lifestyle.”

5. Here are my categories….

  • 💕🌸Pastel & Pink💖🎀

  • DIY Postmodern & BarbieCore Interior Design

  • 🌈Queer Small Business & Business Tips🌈

  • 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩Sapphic & Queer Merch

  • 🏳️‍🌈Inclusive Feminism

  • 🍄Mental Health & Therapy 🖤

So my next step is going to be to create boards out of these categories and optimize those descriptions based on keywords around my different niches.

I am so new to SEO that I really have no clue how to know if I am doing it right or not. At this point, I started researching free SEO Keyword Tools. I came up with the following set of tools.
