Guides Pinterest Pin creation and optimization. Pinterest users search differently than Google; long-tail keywords like "easy fall dinner recipes" perform better than broad terms. Use this skill when creating Pins, optimizing boards, or planning Pinterest content.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

**Project context:** Read root `{project}.md` when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify: 1. **Content type**: Product, recipe, tutorial, inspiration 2. **Board**: Where Pin will be saved first (shapes Pinterest's understanding) 3. **Goal**: Traffic, sales, email signups

Pin Title

| Rule | Guideline | |------|-----------| | **Length** | Up to 100 chars; first 40 visible in feeds | | **Keyword** | Primary keyword in first 40 chars | | **Business name** | In first sentence → 54% higher email signup conversion |

Pin Description

| Rule | Guideline | |------|-----------| | **Length** | 220–232 chars optimal | | **Keywords** | Main + 2–3 related; natural placement | | **CTA** | Clear, actionable → 70% signup boost, 6% sales lift | | **Price** | When relevant → 28% sales increase |

Board SEO
