How Pinterest Analytics can Boost your Blog

Welcome to episode 26 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! This week marks the 6th month anniversary of the FBP podcast - so exciting! We’ve learned so much in the last 6 months, and we’ve really loved sharing it with all of you. Thank you thank you for being our loyal subscriber!

This week on the podcast, Bjork is talking with Kate Ahl from Simple Pin Media about Pinterest!

For most bloggers (myself included), Pinterest Analytics are really just used as a comparison tool - how the blog did this week versus last week. However, Kate from Simple Pin Media specializes in digging deep into Pinterest Analytics to really see what works - and then she coaches her clients on how to use that information to grow their blogs.

In this insightful interview, Kate shares:

• What Pinterest is and how it is used
• How Pinterest out-performs other social media channels like Facebook and Twitter
• How to get your pins to show up higher in search
• What the difference is between a user account and a business account on Pinterest
• How you should be using Pinterest analytics
• How to use “content upgrades” to increase opt-ins on your site using information from Pinterest
• The first thing Kate and her team do for a new client’s Pinterest profile
• How to keep tabs on what’s trending on Pinterest
• How to find the boards that perform well for you
