How to Claim your website on Pinterest



Pinterest is where people discover new ideas and find inspiration to do the things they love!

Pins are ideas that help you get creative or try something new, whether you’re planning a camping trip or collecting home improvement hacks.

Pins are saved to boards, keeping your ideas organized and easy to find. Follow other people or boards that are saving ideas you’re interested in, so you can do even more of what you love.


Follow this step for Claim your website on Pinterest


After you claim your website, any Pins that come from your site will have your profile picture added next to them. You’ll also get access to pinterest website analytics so you can see what people are saving from your website.

To claim your website, you need to be able to edit your website's HTML code.

There are two ways to claim your site: with a meta tag or by uploading an HTML file—detailed instructions are below. Note that only second level domains (like example.com) or subdomains (like subdomain.example.com) can be claimed. You will not be able to claim a specific filepath under a domain (like example.com/page).  Note also that analytics data for a claimed second-level domain will NOT include its subdomains as well.


Use a meta tag
Step 1: Get the meta tag

    On desktop web, navigate to your Account settings
    In the Claim Website section, enter your website URL and click on Claim website
    Select the Add HTML tag option
    Copy the meta tag
    Click Next

Step 2: Add it to your website

Add it to the <head> section of the index.html file of your website before the <body> section
Step 3: Finish setting up

Go back to Pinterest and click Submit—we’ll automatically check the meta tag and claim your site
Upload an HTML file
Step 1: Get the file

    On desktop web, navigate to your Pinterest Account settings
    In the Claim Website section, enter your website URL and click on Claim website
    Select the Upload HTML file option
    Download the file
    Click Next

Step 2: Upload this file to your website

Upload the HTML file to your web server at the root folder (don't upload to a subfolder or we won't be able to access it). Root folder names vary by provider—common ones are public_html, www, or wwwroot.

Be sure not to rename the file when you upload it to your server, since we'll be looking for an exact name match. For example, if you download pinterest-9d541.html, we won't recognize it if you upload it with a different name, like pinterest-9d541-1.html.


Step 3: Finish setting up

Go back to Pinterest and click Submit—we’ll automatically check the file and claim your site
