How To Connect Your Pinterest Account to Your Showit Website

I love data. Well, I love data about my business and my traffic. Especially when it can help me get more traffic and grow my business. Pinterest is amazing for that. Here’s a quick breakdown of the benefits of connecting Pinterest to Showit. We want to verify our website with Pinterest so we get all this good stuff:

First, claiming your website unlocks Pinterest analytics, giving you valuable insight into how your content performs. You gain access to data showing which Pins drive the most clicks, saves, and impressions, as well as how Pinterest users interact with your site’s content over time. With this information, you can make more informed decisions about the types of images, titles, and descriptions that resonate with your audience. Instead of guessing what works, you have clear direction, helping you tailor your content strategy for stronger results.

Second, a claimed website ensures your profile is properly credited whenever someone saves content from your site. Without claiming it, Pins created by other users may not link back to your profile, making it harder for potential customers to discover your business. When your site is claimed, every saved image includes your profile photo and name, creating a direct connection back to you. This builds brand recognition and encourages people to explore more of your content.

Another advantage is that claiming your site adds a layer of trust and authenticity. Pinterest users often look for reliable information and reputable sources, especially when planning purchases, projects, or trips. Seeing your verified website connected to your profile helps establish credibility. It reassures users that the content they’re pinning is accurate, up-to-date, and created by a trustworthy business.

A claimed website also increases your chances of appearing in Pinterest’s featured or recommended content. The platform rewards authenticity and original content, and verification signals that your Pins represent your brand. This can improve your reach over time, helping your Pins show up in search results, category feeds, and the home feed of users who are likely to be interested in your business.

Additionally, claiming your website supports better traffic generation. Pinterest users often visit the platform with a purpose—whether they’re seeking inspiration, planning a project, or preparing to make a purchase. With your site properly connected, you create a smooth path for people to click through to your website, learn more about your services or products, and take the next step. For many businesses, Pinterest becomes one of their strongest sources of referral traffic simply because Pins continue to circulate long after they are first posted.

Finally, claiming your website gives you access to enhanced features such as Rich Pins, which automatically sync important details from your website to your Pins. This keeps your content accurate and up-to-date without extra effort.

Altogether, claiming your website on Pinterest is an easy, strategic move that boosts visibility, builds trust, and helps you reach a wider audience with lasting impact.
