Pinterest SEO Marketing Tutorial: Google Search Console Indexing with Favour Obasi-ike
Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS delivers a tutorial on why Pinterest is a search engine, not social media, and how to connect it with Google Search Console for SEO impact.
Pinterest is the least skipped ad platform while YouTube is the most, and Pinterest ads cost two to thirty cents versus dollars elsewhere.
He covers claiming your business account, how earned media works exclusively on Pinterest, and why a pin lives three to five months compared to an Instagram post's 19 to 72 hours.
Favour shares a client case study where organic image impressions grew from 54.1 million to 154 million in three months with zero ad spend, with Pinterest ranking in the top three linking sites.
The conversation covers MCP servers, Google's crawl budget drop from 15 to two megabytes, why 67 percent of searches result in zero clicks, and why GoDaddy is not scalable.
Mark recommends WordPress, and Shira shares how evergreen content generates leads years after posting.

FAQs Answered
Is Pinterest social media?
On the personal side, yes. On the business side, it is a visual search engine where you own 100% of your data through a claimed account.
What is earned media?
When someone saves your paid pin and revisits it later, you earn impressions without spending again — dividends on your ad spend.
Why not GoDaddy?
It lacks code injection, scalable pop-ups, and flexibility. WordPress is recommended for full ownership and SEO control.
How long does Pinterest SEO take?
It depends on domain authority and consistency — no fixed timeline, but articles linked to Pinterest accelerate results.
