Why pins rank
Pinterest decides what a pin is about. See what it decided.
Every pin gets annotations: the keywords Pinterest itself attaches to it. They decide which searches the pin can appear in.
- See the annotations shared by the pins that rank for any keyword
- Spot exactly which ones your pin is missing and put them in your title, description and board
- Watch your own pins: get alerted when annotations appear (they can take weeks to appear) or disappear

Questions
Good to know
How is PinSleuth different from other Pinterest tools?
Pinterest tools tend to specialise: some in keyword research, some in scheduling. PinSleuth is built around the whole loop: choosing topics, writing the pin inside Pinterest, tracking whether it worked, and finding what to fix. It is not a scheduler, and we do not claim to have the biggest keyword database. We compete on what you can do with the data.
Is PinSleuth affiliated with Pinterest?
No. PinSleuth is an independent product. Pinterest is a trademark of Pinterest, Inc.
Where does the data come from?
Research data comes from Pinterest’s public pages and Pinterest Trends, the same information anyone can see in a browser, collected at a gentle pace so it stays reliable. Your own impressions, saves and clicks come from Pinterest’s official API when you choose to connect your account.
Do I need to connect my Pinterest account?
No. Keyword research, top pins, annotations and rank tracking need no login: you enter your website’s domain, not your password. If you want your own impressions, saves and clicks, you can connect through Pinterest’s official sign-in. The connection is read-only, PinSleuth cannot post or change anything, and you can disconnect and delete that data any time.
Will it post or schedule pins for me?
No. PinSleuth is for research, tracking and writing. You publish on Pinterest yourself, or with the scheduler you already use.
How does the AI pin writer work?
It reads what ranks for your keyword, takes the annotations Pinterest gave those pins, and drafts titles, descriptions and board names that use them naturally. You review and edit before anything goes live.
When can I start?
Right now. Pick a plan on the pricing page and start a 14-day free trial.
What will it cost?
Solo is $15 a month, Pro $29 and Agency $79, or about 20% less when billed yearly. Prices exclude VAT. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and you can cancel any time.
