What Is Pinterest Analytics?

Pinterest analytics is a free metrics tool inside the business hub part of Pinterest. It tracks pin performance, board performance, audience insights, trends, historical data of your pins. Pinterest Analytics tracks pin impressions, clicks, and saves across all your pins. Having a business account is the only way to get access to the analytics tool, so the first thing you will need is a business account as shown in the post What is Pinterest Marketing?

Summary

If you have a business online you should be utilizing social media for marketing. In my opinion, Pinterest should be at the top of that list as it has the potential to drive as much free traffic as other search engines. It is also free and if you abide by the rules you should be good to go.

Please note here that Pinterest users do have tendencies that you can use to your advantage. For example users are primarily female. Users of Pinterest are heavily in to visuals on home décor and food. Other categories exist but these stats for all of Pinterest show heavy use for the above categories.
