About PinRank
Hi, I'm Haku — the person who builds PinRank
I'm not a big Pinterest influencer, and I won't pretend to be. I'm a maker who got obsessed with one question: why do some pins get found and most don't? So I started reading Pinterest's own documentation, testing what actually moves a pin's keyword ranking, and turning what holds up into small, free tools. PinRank is where that research lives.
That obsession is also why PinRank is honest about its limits in a way the bigger tools aren't. The plain version: PinRank does not have Pinterest's search data. Pinterest's public Trends tool shows relative interest rather than monthly search counts, and its partner API gives approved partners an index and growth rates — so whenever a tool shows you a "search volume" number, it's worth asking where it comes from. Ours is easy to answer: keyword ideas are built from modifier patterns for your topic, and the Broad / Focused / Long-tail label next to each one only counts its words. The tool says so right under the results. I'd rather you trust the tool than be impressed by it.
What PinRank is
- A free keyword idea generator — type a seed, get long-tail Pinterest-style keywords grouped by intent.
- A pin SEO score — paste your title and description and see, before you publish, whether they actually contain searchable terms.
- A description writer — keyword-optimized description drafts you can tweak and post.
- 99 free guides — a blog covering Pinterest SEO, keywords, growth and monetization, written to be specific and honest rather than hyped.
The principles I hold it to
- Free and instant. No login, no signup wall, no trial countdown. Open the page, use the tool.
- Private by design. Everything runs in your browser. What you type is never uploaded. The extension only reads what is already on the Pinterest page you have open, and never uses your password or sends anything anywhere. (Full details in the privacy policy.)
- Honest about limits. Keyword ideas come from modifier patterns, not live Pinterest data, and the label beside each idea only reflects how specific the phrase is — the tool says so right under the results. Where a paid tool like PinClicks or Tailwind genuinely does more, my guides say that too, affiliate link or not.
Why free — and how it's funded
The core tools are free because a fast, honest Pinterest keyword check should be. PinRank is funded modestly through affiliate links to a few paid tools I actually think are worth it (clearly marked, never required) and a coming Pro tier in the browser extension. The three free tools on the homepage will stay free.
What's next
The free PinRank Chrome extension now does more than score the pin you're writing: on any Pinterest search it shows the saves on every pin and the words the most-saved pins use, read from the page you already have open. What comes next depends on how people use it — if something is missing or confusing, tell me.
