What is a Pin title?
A Pin title is essentially a basic summary, presented in bold on your Pinterest Pin description, that provides the relevant context around your Pin. And your job is to make the user want to click through and learn more.
A title gives your Pin some meaning behind the image – some context and background that can help both a user and Pinterest itself to understand what your Pin is all about. When it comes to being Pinterest SEO friendly, anything that makes Pinterest deem your Pin worthy to display as part of a relevant search result is good, and fairly soon the site will be ensuring that every Pin provides that information with compulsory Pin titles.
How to write a Pin title?
The big question – what does your Pin title need to tell the user?
First, you should include the most essential of keywords – without simply repeating your description. Your title should read as if you were speaking it aloud; not stuffed with keywords and relevant terms, but rather a fluid sentence that depicts exactly what the Pin is about. Whereas sites like eBay encourage as much basic detail as possible in product titles, Pinterest titles should read naturally.
TIP; including the word ‘click’ will actually have a negative impact on your Pin’s visibility. Pinterest can pick up on the word and will use it against you. Don’t succumb to clickbait!
