Grow brand visibility and engagement on Pinterest
Increase outbound traffic to their website and portfolio
Position Tailored Designs as a go-to resource for premium interior inspiration
The Pinterest Strategy

Keyword-Rich Pin Titles & Boards: Implemented SEO best practices for Pinterest to boost visibility in search results, focusing on high-intent keywords like “custom mudroom ideas,” “elegant kitchen remodel,” and “interior design Charlotte.”

Seasonal Content Planning: Aligned Pins with seasonal trends and user behavior (e.g. summer renovations, fall planning) to increase relevancy and clickthrough rates.
