How to use these keywords
- Start with the easy, high-volume keywords: a new or small account can reach the top of those searches.
- Put the keyword at the start of your pin title and in the first line of the description, the way people type it.
- Make 2–3 pins per post with different images, and use the variants for your next pins.
Questions
What are the best Pinterest keywords for food bloggers?
The best keywords are big searches you can actually reach. Each table lists the most searched food keywords of a category with our verdict: “Easy win” and “Worth it” are the ones to write for first; for “Hard” ones, target a longer variation.
How is Pinterest keyword difficulty calculated?
PinExplore reads the top 20 pins of each search: how many saves they have, how big the accounts behind them are and how old they are, and weighs that with the search volume. 0–34 is easy, 35–59 medium, 60+ hard.
Why are some keywords merged?
“Pasta salad”, “pasta salads” and “pasta salad recipes” are the same search for a blogger: we keep the biggest one and show the others as variants, so the list shows 60 different ideas rather than 60 spellings.
How often is this list updated?
Once a month, for the United States and Germany. For searches rising this week, see what's trending on Pinterest right now.
