Table of Contents

Do you want to add your site to Pinterest so that you can view reports on content you’ve Pinned?

All in One SEO makes this really easy so you can see how well your content does.

Here we’ll show you how to authenticate your site with Pinterest using the HTML tag method.


Adding Your Site to Pinterest

Prerequisites:
You’ll need to have an account with Pinterest, Google or Facebook.

If this is for your business, you may want to think about using a separate account for your business, rather than using your personal account.

To get started, you’ll need to sign into Pinterest (if you’re not already signed in).

If you don’t have an account, you can either sign up for one, or you can use your Facebook or Google account to log in.
