So how are you supposed to go about it? ]
1. Optimize your profile Forget about the name you signed up with: come up with something new that will stick and spark people’s interest. When writing your description be clear and tell them what you’re about. Including keywords never hurts!
2. Verify your website If you want people to trust you, you have got to get your profile verified! Instructions on how to do this can be found online.

Set up rich pins The more information you add to a pin (price, link, address, phone number, basically how to make it easier for them to get their hands on the product offered), the more you profit! Rich pins will rank higher and make it more likely for your pin to be found through Google searches.
6. Check your links This one is pretty straightforward: if you’ve got a description linking to a website, make sure the link is correct! This means not an expired domain or typing mistakes.
