Pinterest just made history. In its latest Q4 and full-year 2024 earnings report, the platform revealed some major wins—its first-ever billion-dollar revenue quarter and a strong increase in active users. If you’ve been on the fence about using Pinterest for your business, now is the time to pay attention.

This growth isn’t just good news for investors—it’s a game-changer for businesses leveraging Pinterest as a lead generation powerhouse. Let’s break down the key takeaways from the report and what they mean for organic marketing (plus a quick note on ads).

Pinterest’s Q4 2024 and Full-Year Performance: The Big Wins

On February 8, 2025, Pinterest released its Q4 and full-year 2024 earnings report, highlighting the company’s biggest financial milestones yet. Here’s a snapshot of the major highlights:

  • First-ever $1 billion revenue quarter – Q4 2024 revenue hit $1.15 billion, an 18% increase from the previous year.
  • 11% growth in Monthly Active Users (MAUs) – Pinterest now has 553 million monthly users, meaning more people are actively using the platform to find inspiration and make purchasing decisions.
  • U.S. & Canada remain the biggest revenue drivers, contributing $700 million to Q4 earnings.
  • Global growth is surging, with international revenue increasing by 26% year-over-year.

Why This Matters for Organic Marketing

These numbers confirm one thing: Pinterest is growing—fast. More users mean more potential customers searching for ideas, products, and services. As Pinterest continues to expand, it becomes an even bigger opportunity for businesses using organic marketing strategies to get seen.

Now, let’s dive into how you can use Pinterest’s growth to your advantage without relying on paid ads.

How to Maximize Organic Marketing on Pinterest in 2025

Pinterest is unique among social platforms because it’s a visual search engine—meaning content stays discoverable for months (or years!) rather than disappearing within hours like on Instagram or TikTok. Here’s how to take full advantage of the platform’s growth without spending money on ads:

1. Focus on SEO-Optimized Pin Titles and Descriptions

Pinterest’s search function works just like Google, so make sure your content is optimized with relevant keywords.

  • Use clear, keyword-rich titles. Example: Instead of “Spring Wedding Ideas,” try “Spring Wedding Decor Trends 2024 | Elegant & Budget-Friendly”
  • Add longer descriptions (2-3 sentences) that naturally include keywords people would search for.
  • Don’t skip the alt text—this helps with both SEO and Pinterest’s new accessibility features.

2. Create Fresh Content Regularly

Pinterest rewards consistency. Instead of posting one pin and calling it a day, aim for:

  • 5-10 fresh pins per week (this doesn’t mean brand-new designs every time—slight variations of the same content work).
  • A mix of static images, and video Pins to keep engagement high.
  • Seasonal content 3-4 months in advance (Pinterest users plan ahead, so if you’re posting holiday content in December, you’re already too late!).

3. Use Videos

Pinterest is leaning into short-form video content, and it’s paying off. The platform saw a big boost in video watch time in 2024, which means more engagement opportunities for your brand.

Here’s how to take advantage:

  • Post behind-the-scenes clips (packing orders, service highlights, client testimonials).
  • Repurpose Instagram Reels & TikToks as Pinterest Idea Pins.
  • Add text overlays with clear CTA (e.g., “Click below to get the full guide!”).

4. Build a Pinterest Strategy That Feeds Your Funnel

Pinterest isn’t just about getting traffic—it’s about converting that traffic into leads.

  • Pin your blog posts and lead magnets (Pinterest loves valuable, evergreen content).
  • Use landing pages instead of your homepage to send traffic straight to your offers.
  • Create a Pinterest-optimized freebie to capture emails and grow your list.

Pinterest’s growing audience means more opportunities to drive traffic to your business—without spending a dime.

What About Pinterest Ads?

While we’re focusing on organic growth, it’s worth noting that Pinterest Ads are evolving. The report highlights new AI-driven ad tools and Performance+, a smart targeting system that helps brands optimize their ad spend.

💡 Takeaway: Even if you’re not using ads, Pinterest’s overall ad growth means more businesses are investing in the platform—which can drive more users to organic content as well.

Final Thoughts: Why 2024 Is the Best Time to Double Down on Pinterest

Pinterest’s record-breaking growth proves that the platform is far from slowing down. With more users, more engagement, and stronger SEO potential, businesses that invest in organic Pinterest marketing now will see the biggest long-term gains.

If you’re not on Pinterest yet—or if your strategy needs a refresh—this is your sign to get started. 🎯

1. Perfect Your Profile Basics

Start with the basics: your profile picture, bio, and the link to your website. Your profile picture should be clear, professional, and brand-aligned. For your bio, use simple, friendly language that includes keywords relevant to your business. This not only helps in telling what you do but also aids in showing up in search results. Make sure your website link is correct and leads to a page that will captivate Pinterest users once they click through.

2. SEO-Optimize Your Profile

SEO isn’t just for Google; it’s crucial on Pinterest too. Your profile name and bio should include keywords that your target audience might use to find content like yours. For example, if you specialize in wedding photography, your profile could include keywords like “Wedding Photography Tips & Inspiration.” This strategy helps your profile get discovered by users interested in your niche.

3. Curate Your Boards Strategically

Your boards should reflect the interests of your target audience and the essence of your brand. Create boards with clear, descriptive titles and fill them with high-quality pins that align with those themes. Use the board descriptions to sprinkle in keywords naturally, boosting your SEO and making your boards more discoverable.success!

4. Craft a Cohesive Visual Identity

Pinterest is a visual platform, so your profile should have a cohesive look and feel. Choose a color scheme, font style, and imagery that reflect your brand. This visual consistency helps users recognize your content at a glance and reinforces your brand identity.

5. Use High-Quality, Vertical Images

Pins with high-quality, vertical images tend to perform better on Pinterest. The ideal aspect ratio is 2:3 (for example, 1000×1500 pixels). This format fits nicely on users’ feeds and is more likely to get engagement. Include your branding subtly in your images, whether it’s through color, logo placement, or a consistent style of photography.

6. Incorporate Keywords into Pin Descriptions

Just like with your profile and board descriptions, your pin descriptions should be keyword-rich. However, make sure to write naturally and conversationally. Think about what your best friend would type into the Pinterest search bar to find your pin, and use that language.

7. Enable Rich Pins When Possible

Rich Pins provide more context about an idea because they include extra information directly from your website. There are different types of Rich Pins, including Product Pins, Recipe Pins, and Article Pins. Enabling Rich Pins can make your content more actionable and informative, leading to higher engagement.

8. Stay Active and Engage

Pinterest favors active and engaging users. Regularly pinning fresh content, repinning from others, and commenting on pins can increase your visibility on the platform. Set aside a little time each week to engage with your community, and you’ll likely see a boost in your profile’s performance.

Summary

Optimizing your Pinterest profile is a mix of art and science. By following these steps, you’re laying down a strong foundation for your business to be discovered and loved by your target audience. Remember, it’s about making genuine connections and sharing value through your content. Happy pinning, and here’s to your Pinterest
