How does Pinterest planning work?

• First, link your Pinterest account to your Planoly account. 
• Access Pinterest planning on the Web Dashboard or the Mobile App
• Upload content to your Library and gain a clear picture of your upcoming Pinterest content through the ‘Scheduled’ and ‘Published’ tabs.
• Reach larger audiences, keep your boards fresh, and elevate your Pinterest content using our premium ‘campaigns’ feature.

Do I need to have a Pinterest business account to plan for Pinterest?

You do not need a Pinterest business account although we highly recommend creating one (it’s free). With a Pinterest Business account, you can gain additional insights into Pinterest Analytics (on Pinterest) and better understand top-performing Pins and audience engagement to further build on your content strategy. 

How do I upload my own content to Pinterest?

You can upload content directly on your dashboard by clicking on ‘+Add To Library’ on the left-hand side of your screen. You can also utilize our drag-and-drop feature to drag and drop content from your desktop onto the dashboard. 

How do I schedule a Pin?

To schedule a Pin, simply click on your uploaded content within your ‘Library’ and choose your specific day and time for that Pin. You can also use the drag and drop feature here to drag and drop your content onto your selected calendar date via our ‘Month’ or ‘Week’ view on the Planoly Calendar.

What information do I need to include within my Pin?

In order to ensure that your Pin packs a punch, make sure to include all of the necessary information on your Pin. Make sure to include the following:

• Pin Title: Create a thoughtful title that speaks to the content within your Pin. 

• Pin Description: Get creative with your description! Draw your audience in by highlighting fun aspects about this Pin within the copy of your description. 

• Pin URL: Link to the correct URL in order to drive traffic to the proper source. 

You’ll also want to select the board for that Pin along with the corresponding date! 

Can I schedule Idea Pins?

Yes, you can schedule Idea Pins with Planoly. However, this can only be done through our multi-channel workspace, not the Pinterest-only planning space. 

Can I schedule Video Pins? 

Yes, but keep in mind that this will require a paid plan with Planoly.
