ChatGPT has been a staple within my content creation and social media marketing process.
For example, I heavily utilize it for coming up with text copy and scripts for Facebook ads I run.
And Pinterest is certainly no exception to that utility. So, here are 20 prompts specifically designed for boosting your presence on Pinterest.
Prompts For Pinterest Titles
Before I share the magic, just a few points you should to be aware of.
First, it’s always good practice to ask ChatGPT to come up with multiple suggestions, whether we are talking titles, descriptions, or anything else.
Second, I’d urge you to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus, which costs 20 bucks per month. Not only will you get access to the more powerful GPT 4 model, but you can also ask ChatGPT to scrape web content, namely the articles you want to publish pins on.
Alternatively, you could paste in the whole article but it’s definitely more cumbersome.
That said, here are 3 ChatGPT prompts you can use for Pinterest titles:
Generate 5 creative Pinterest pin titles for [Your Niche/Use Case] that capture attention and intrigue. Focus on keywords: [Keyword 1], [Keyword 2], [Keyword 3].
Here's a link to my latest article: [Insert Article Link]. Please read it and create 5 SEO-optimized Pinterest pin titles that highlight the main points and include the keyword: [Your Keyword].
Create 5 Pinterest pin titles in the form of intriguing questions for content about [Your Niche/Use Case]. Ensure the questions spark curiosity and relate to common queries in the niche.
Here’s an example using the second prompt and our article about ChatGPT prompts for language learning:
If you don’t like those answers for whatever reason, then you could ask follow-up questions such as shortening the title length or removing the colon symbol.
Prompts For Pinterest Descriptions
Similarly, ChatGPT can also be used to generate descriptions for your pins.
Here are 5 prompts you can borrow to come up with Pinterest descriptions:
I'm creating a pin for my <blog post/product page/recipe> about <topic>. Please write a compelling description under 500 characters, incorporating these keywords: <keyword1>, <keyword2>, <keyword3>. Here's the article link/text: <Insert article text or link here>
Craft an attention-grabbing Pinterest description for my <infographic/tutorial/case study> on <subject>. Ensure it's SEO-optimized and includes a clear call-to-action. <Insert article text or link here>
Develop an engaging description for my <travel/adventure/destination> pin highlighting <location or experience>. Use sensory language and storytelling techniques to captivate potential visitors. <Insert article text or link here>
<Insert article text here> Based on the provided article about <topic>, write a Pinterest description that captures the main points and entices readers to learn more. Don't forget to include a call-to-action!
Create a Pinterest-optimized description for my <marketing/business/entrepreneurship> pin sharing insights on <specific strategy or trend>. Highlight the value for <target audience> and include a strong call-to-action. <Insert article text or link here>
And here’s the answer to one of the prompts that GPT 4 provides me with:
Again, you can refine the answer, for example by telling ChatGPT to sound more natural/human-like or shortening the description.
Prompts For Optimizing Boards
Pinning into relevant boards of your own and maintained by others is essential for growth.
Here are 5 ChatGPT prompts to help you ideate on new and optimize existing Pinterest boards:
I need your help optimizing my Pinterest board titled "<Board Name>" which focuses on <topic or niche>. Can you suggest a more engaging and keyword-rich title, as well as a compelling description that incorporates relevant keywords to attract my target audience?
I'm creating a new Pinterest board dedicated to <theme or concept>, but I'm struggling to come up with a catchy and SEO-friendly name. Can you generate a list of 10 potential board names that are both creative and optimized for search?
I want to ensure that my Pinterest board "<Board Name>" is properly optimized for discoverability. Can you please analyze the current title, description, and pin content, and provide suggestions for improvement based on Pinterest best practices and SEO strategies?
Based on the content on my site (add link to sitemap or articles), can you come up with Pinterest boards (their names and descriptions) I should create?
I'm considering merging two of my Pinterest boards, "<Board Name 1>" and "<Board Name 2>", as they cover similar topics within <niche>. Can you propose an optimized title and description for the merged board, ensuring it encompasses the content of both original boards?
Prompts For Discovering Trends
ChatGPT is also fairly useful when it comes to spotting upcoming trends, especially if you feed it the necessary data.
Here are 2 prompt examples for discovering trending Pinterest topics:
Can you, based on the data in your knowledge base, analyze recent trends and user behavior data to identify the top 5 emerging topics or themes in <industry or niche> that are gaining popularity on Pinterest?
I've noticed a surge in saves and engagement for pins related to <specific trend or concept>. Can you dive deeper into this trend and suggest 3-5 sub-topics or related ideas that I could explore to capitalize on its popularity?
The key with those types of prompts is that you feed ChatGPT real-time or updated data.
For example, you could utilize Pinterest’s Trend section by exporting the data as a CSV and inserting it into ChatGPT.
Alternatively, you could also use data from keyword research tools like Ahrefs or Keywords Everywhere.
Prompts For Audience Segmentation
Lastly, I also utilize ChatGPT to figure out what audience would be best suited for the type of content I publish.
Here are 5 ChatGPT prompts that allow you do determine where your customers hang out:
I'm targeting <specific demographic> with my Pinterest content. Can you analyze the preferences, interests, and behavior patterns of this audience and provide insights on the types of visuals, colors, and themes that are most likely to resonate with them?
I'm trying to reach <target audience> on Pinterest with content related to <topic or niche>. Can you provide a list of 10-15 high-volume that align with the search behavior and interests of this specific demographic?
I want to create a series of Pinterest pins that tells a cohesive brand story while appealing to my target audience's emotions and aspirations. Can you propose a narrative arc, visual style, and key messaging points that align with the interests and values of <specific demographic>?
I'm looking to leverage Pinterest's rich pin format to enhance my content's visibility and engagement. Can you provide guidance on how to effectively implement rich pins for my <blog posts/products/recipes>, including best practices for metadata optimization and schema markup?
I'm looking to expand my keyword targeting strategy to better appeal to <target demographic>. Based on this audience's unique needs, preferences, and pain points, can you suggest a set of 5-7 keyword themes or clusters that I should focus on to attract and engage them effectively?
