If you want to grow your brand online, knowing how to set up a Pinterest Business Account is one of the best things you can do right now. Pinterest is not just a social media platform. It works like a search engine where people look for products and ideas before they buy.

At Grow Pinterest (growpinterest.com), we have helped hundreds of brands get started on Pinterest the right way. From account setup to full marketing campaigns, we know what works. If you are a small business owner, blogger, or eCommerce brand, getting your Pinterest business account set up correctly from the start makes a huge difference.

This guide covers everything you need to know. And if you want an expert to handle it for you, our team is ready to help.


What Is a Pinterest Business Account and Why Does It Matter?

A Pinterest business account is a free professional version of Pinterest made for brands and creators. When you compare a personal account vs business account, the business version gives you tools that are simply not available on a personal account.

Here is what you get with a business account:

  • Pinterest Analytics to track clicks, saves, and impressions
  • Pinterest Ads and Promoted Pins to reach more people faster
  • Rich Pins that pull live data from your website automatically
  • Pinterest Shopping so people can buy directly from your Pins
  • Access to Pinterest Trends to see what people are searching for

For any business that wants real website traffic and sales, a Pinterest business account is not optional. It is a must.


What Is Included in Our Pinterest Business Account Setup Service

Why Choose Grow Pinterest?

Grow Pinterest was started by Jubaier Ahmod Jabed, a Pinterest marketing specialist with hands-on experience managing over 500 projects on the platform.

Real Results

Jabed’s Pinterest strategies helped two businesses cross 10 million dollars in sales using Pinterest alone. That kind of result speaks for itself.

Pinterest Is All We Do

Unlike general marketing agencies, Grow Pinterest focuses only on Pinterest. We know the platform inside and out. We understand the algorithm, how search works on Pinterest, what makes Pins rank, and how to use Pinterest Ads and Promoted Pins to grow faster.

We Know Other Platforms Too

Before focusing on Pinterest, Jabed ran Meta and Google Ads for clients. After seeing Pinterest consistently beat both in terms of conversions and long-term traffic, the choice to specialize was easy. This background helps us explain why Pinterest works and how to use it properly for your specific business.

Our Track Record
  • Over 500 completed Pinterest projects
  • Clients range from solo bloggers to large eCommerce stores
  • At his first agency role, Jabed’s strategies delivered results so strong within 20 days that the CEO offered him a year-long contract

FAQ

What is a Pinterest business account? A Pinterest business account is a free account built for brands and creators. It gives you access to analytics, Pinterest Ads, Rich Pins, and shopping features. Any business that wants to use Pinterest for marketing should use a business account instead of a personal one.

How do I set up a Pinterest business account? Go to pinterest.com/business/create, enter your business name and email, choose your business type, and fill in your profile. Then claim your website and turn on Rich Pins. You can also convert an existing personal account to a business account from your settings.

What is the difference between a personal account vs business account on Pinterest? The main difference between a personal account vs business account is the tools. Business accounts include analytics, Promoted Pins, shopping features, and the Pinterest Tag. Personal accounts do not have any of these.

How long does it take to set up a Pinterest business account? Basic setup takes around 30 to 60 minutes. A fully optimized account with keyword-researched boards, Rich Pins, the pixel installed, and starting Pins published takes 3 to 5 business days when our team at Grow Pinterest handles it.

Can I switch my personal Pinterest account to a business account? Yes. You can switch any personal account to a business account without losing your followers, boards, or Pins. Go to Settings, then Account, then click Convert to a Business Account. We usually recommend converting instead of starting over if you already have followers.

What are Pinterest Ads and Promoted Pins? Pinterest Ads (also called Promoted Pins) are paid Pins that show up in search results and home feeds. They look just like regular Pins but reach a much bigger audience. They work very well for eCommerce brands, service businesses, and bloggers who want faster growth.

Do I need a website to open a Pinterest business account? You do not need a website to create a Pinterest business account, but you do need one to claim your domain and turn on Rich Pins. A claimed website also adds a trust badge to all your Pins, which helps people click through to your site.

How much does Pinterest setup or marketing cost? Pricing at Grow Pinterest depends on what you need. We offer packages from basic account setup to full management and strategy. Visit growpinterest.com to get a quote based on your goals.

Is Pinterest marketing actually worth it? Yes. Pinterest users are looking for products and ideas with the intention to buy. One Pin can bring traffic for months or even years. Businesses that use Pinterest marketing regularly see much higher conversion rates compared to other social platforms.

What types of businesses do best on Pinterest? Pinterest works for almost any business, but it is especially strong for eCommerce, home decor, fashion, food, travel, health, and service-based businesses. If your audience includes women between 18 and 54, Pinterest is one of the best places to reach them.


From Zero to 500,000 Monthly Views in 90 Days

The Problem: A home decor eCommerce brand came to Grow Pinterest with a Pinterest account that had been sitting with no activity. They had 12 followers, no website claimed, and zero traffic from Pinterest.

What We Did: We set up their account from scratch. We claimed their website, turned on Rich Pins for their product catalog, created 15 keyword-focused boards, installed the Pinterest Tag for retargeting, and published 40 optimized Pins. We also ran a small Promoted Pins campaign targeting people who had already visited their website.

The Result: In 90 days, the brand went from zero to over 500,000 monthly Pinterest views. Their website traffic from Pinterest went up by 340 percent. They brought in 80,000 dollars in Pinterest-driven sales that quarter alone.

This is what a proper Pinterest business account setup and strategy looks like in practice.
