Editorial Policy: How Pin Guides Creates and Updates Its Content
This Editorial Policy explains how Pin Guides researches, writes, reviews, sources, corrects, and updates Pinterest educational content so readers can better understand where our information comes from and how we handle changes.
What Pin Guides Covers
Pin Guides is focused on practical Pinterest education rather than general online-income content. The goal is to help readers understand Pinterest and use the platform more effectively.
Pinterest Setup
Business accounts, profile setup, website connection, boards, and other foundational topics.
Pinterest SEO
Search visibility, keywords, Pin content, boards, and related discovery topics.
Pinterest Traffic
Practical methods for connecting Pinterest activity with useful website traffic.
Analytics and Monetization
Performance measurement and responsible monetization topics relevant to Pinterest.
How Pin Guides Chooses Sources
Sources are selected based on the type of claim being made. Platform facts and changing features need stronger primary references than general strategy opinions or examples.
Official Pinterest Sources
For Pinterest features, account settings, Analytics metrics, policies, and other platform-specific information, official Pinterest documentation is preferred when available.
Primary and Reliable References
When a topic goes beyond Pinterest documentation, we look for appropriate primary sources, recognized organizations, or reliable industry references.
Time-Sensitive Information
Features, interfaces, policies, and metrics can change. Older references are not treated as current simply because they rank well in search.
If a statement depends on a feature or policy that may have changed, the source should be checked before presenting it as current information.

Pin Guides content should be useful first. Search visibility matters, but it does not replace clear explanations, accurate information, or reader value.
Choose a Useful Topic
Topics should match the site’s Pinterest focus and answer a real reader need.
Research the Subject
Relevant sources are checked before important platform-specific claims are published.
Write for the Reader
Instructions should be clear, practical, and easy to follow without unnecessary filler.
Check Before Publishing
Important claims, links, examples, and wording should be reviewed before publication.
How Pin Guides researches, reviews, sources, and updates Pinterest educational content.
Facts, Strategy, and Opinion Are Not the Same Thing
Pinterest education often mixes official platform information with practical recommendations. Pin Guides tries to make that difference clear.
What Pinterest Says
Information about features, metrics, policies, account options, or platform requirements should be supported by appropriate Pinterest documentation when available.
What May Help
Recommendations can be based on testing, practical experience, published evidence, or reasonable interpretation. They should not be presented as guaranteed Pinterest rules.
How It Could Work
Examples are used to make an idea easier to understand. An example is not a promise that every account will produce the same result.
Examples Should Never Be Mistaken for Results
Screenshots, dashboards, mockups, sample Pins, calculations, and other illustrations may be used to explain an idea. They should be presented in a way that does not create a false impression of actual performance.
Illustrative Dashboards
Sample analytics numbers are examples only and are not presented as actual Pin Guides traffic, earnings, or customer data.
Sample Pins and Designs
A sample creative is used to explain a method or concept, not to promise a specific level of reach or engagement.
Real Screenshots
Screenshots should retain enough context to avoid creating a misleading impression about the feature or result being shown.
No Guaranteed Traffic, Rankings, or Income
Pinterest results vary from one account and website to another. Pin Guides does not guarantee traffic, rankings, followers, conversions, sales, or income.
Examples and strategies on this site should therefore be treated as educational guidance rather than a promise of a particular business result.
What Happens When Information Changes?
These steps are part of the Editorial Policy used when reviewing material updates and factual corrections. Pinterest features, policies, metrics, and interfaces can change. When reliable new information shows that a material statement is inaccurate or outdated, the relevant page may be reviewed and updated.
Issue Reported
A reader or source identifies information that may need review.
Information Checked
The relevant claim and available supporting sources are reviewed.
Page Updated
Material errors or outdated information may be corrected when supported.
Source Refreshed
Relevant references may also be changed when a better current source is available.
Commercial Relationships Do Not Replace Editorial Judgment
Pin Guides may contain affiliate relationships or other commercial content where relevant. These relationships should be disclosed clearly to readers.
A commercial relationship should not be treated as a reason to recommend a product, service, or resource that does not fit the subject or provide useful information to readers.
Commercial references should fit the page topic.
Affiliate relationships should be clearly identified where applicable.
Recommendations should provide a genuine reason for inclusion.
Useful Information Should Be Clear, Current, and Honest
Pin Guides will continue reviewing its educational content as Pinterest changes. If you notice a factual issue, outdated source, or information that needs review, please let us know. Questions about the Editorial Policy can be sent through our Contact Pin Guides page.
