Why It Works

The search engine disguised as a social network

Pinterest is fundamentally a visual search engine. Pins have an incredibly long lifespan compared to any social post.

🔍

Search-based discovery

96% of searches are unbranded. Users discover new products organically.

Evergreen content

A pin can drive traffic for months or years, unlike tweets or posts.

💰

High purchase intent

Users actively plan purchases. 85% of weekly pinners have bought based on pins.

👥

Untapped audience

Less competitive than Instagram or TikTok for most niches.
