It is also helpful for the SEO and Google search engine.

To make your descriptions work best for you, you need not hashtags, remember to spell everything properly and avoid grammar mistakes, don’t promote too much.

Remember that grid view will contain no more than 75-100 characters of the description, so put all the right info in the beginning but also keep a hint of mystery so the reader will be motivated to engage and read the full post.

Remember few more things:

Short descriptions beat long ones. Pins that are the most engaged with contain less than 100 characters.

Pinterest isn’t a hashtag-friendly platform. Keep them in your Twitter and Instagram, here other ways work best.
