Why You Should Use Board Covers On Pinterest

Board covers on Pinterest are important because they give your profile a more professional and organized look. However, does every business account need them?

What’s the deal with Board Covers!? Where do you stand on this controversy? All kidding aside, read the following why I feel it's really a great idea - because it helps your follower navigate your content.

When you create a board cover, you can choose a specific image that reflects the content of the board and use it as the cover photo. This not only makes your profile more visually appealing, but it also helps your audience understand what type of content they can expect from each board at a glance.

Having board covers also makes it easier for you to manage your Pinterest account.

Instead of relying on the default cover image, you can choose the images that best represent each board. This can help you stay organized and quickly find the content you need when you're trying to pin something new.

Finally, board covers can also help your content stand out in search results. When someone searches for a specific topic on Pinterest, the board covers appear alongside the search results. If your board cover is eye-catching and relevant to the search query, it can entice users to click on your content and potentially follow your account.

Remember, that adding board covers is actually the same as a Pin. You have to create a static Pin. You're going to link this pin to a url that is specific to the content of the board, for example a blog post. 

Is it okay to donthis late in the game, after you've been pinning for a while? Absolutely. Remember - do not archive the board cover.

Overall, board covers are an important aspect of managing your Pinterest profile.

They help you create a more professional and organized look, make it easier to manage your account, and can even help your content stand out in search results. And that is a big reason to take the extra time to add them.
