Verify your Pinterest Account

Being able to verify your Pinterest account is a great step in making your profile stand out. Having an account that is verified will demonstrate to your audience how serious you are about your account. It will help brand yourself or your business. The best part is that it will lead to a bigger audience and leads customers to your website. Since they are coming to your website through Pinterest they will be more receptive to the content on your website. Pinterest has created a trust between them and their consumers the verification passes the trust that Pinterest has created and passes it onto your website.

This verification will have a similar effect as the verification of your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. So, Pinterest is another great platform to have your website visible and available for those that come across your profile. If you already have Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts for your blog or website, Pinterest is probably a great thing to add for further social networking and continuity in your brand.

While the verification processes for each Social Media Channel is different. Pinterest makes their process extremely straight forward.

Therefore, follow these easy steps to get started!
