Boards tell Pinterest and your visitors what your account is about. A clear structure, with focused boards named the way people search and sections that split big topics into smaller ones, makes your profile easier to browse and gives every new pin an obvious home.
Use this planner to lay that structure out first. Paste a rough list of board ideas, group topics into sections, reorder boards so the most important ones come first, and pick from suggested board names that use plain, searchable words. Your plan is saved in this browser, and you can copy or download it when you are ready to set it up on Pinterest.
Naming boards for search
A board name works like a label in search results, so write what is inside it in the words people type: "Easy Vegan Breakfast Recipes" rather than "Yum" or "Morning Vibes". Keep it short enough to read at a glance and skip emojis and decorative symbols, which nobody searches for.
Add a board description too. One or two plain sentences with the main keyword and a couple of related phrases is enough. The board name generator gives more name ideas, and the board cover maker helps the boards look consistent on your profile.
When to use sections instead of new boards
Use a new board for a topic that people would search on its own, such as "Meal Prep Ideas". Use sections to split a board that has grown broad, such as Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner inside a recipes board. Sections keep related pins together without creating many small, thin boards.
Order matters on your profile. Put the boards that match your main topics and best content first, and move personal or off-topic boards to the end or make them secret.
