How to Verify Your Site with Pinterest

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.

Requirements

You’ll need to have an account with Pinterest.

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.

Adding Your Site to Pinterest

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

Once you've logged in, click on the Settings icon in the bottom left corner of the screen to display the Settings & Support menu, and then click on Link to Pinterest.
