While most eyes are on TikTok and Instagram, a quiet shift occurs in the background. Amazon sellers are now tapping into Pinterest’s overlooked power to improve visibility, rankings, and, ultimately, sales.
It might sound strange at first. Pinterest? Isn’t that where people pin recipes, interior design inspo, and wedding mood boards? Well, yes, but it’s also a search engine in disguise and one that plays surprisingly well with Amazon’s ecosystem.
Why Pinterest Is Back in the Spotlight for Sellers
Unlike most social media platforms focusing on engagement and scrolling, Pinterest is a visual search engine. It has over 482 million active users worldwide, and its user base is particularly influential when discovering and buying products. What makes Pinterest different is its long content lifespan. While Instagram posts may vanish from feeds within hours, Pinterest Pins can generate traffic for months or years. This long-tail visibility is why many sellers now partner with an experienced Amazon Agency Worldwide to incorporate Pinterest into their off-Amazon traffic strategies and scale more sustainably.
For Amazon sellers, a well-placed Pin linking directly to a product page can become a passive traffic funnel that quietly boosts your off-Amazon presence, generates backlinks, and supports your product’s organic visibility.
How Pinterest Boosts Amazon SEO Without Breaking Rules
The key to this strategy lies in how Amazon’s A9 algorithm responds to external traffic. While Amazon doesn’t publicly confirm the weight of off-site traffic, consistent patterns in seller data suggest that external clicks from high-authority sources (like Pinterest) signal product popularity and relevance.
When you generate Pinterest traffic to your Amazon listing—especially from niche boards or keywords—you’re effectively increasing engagement signals that Amazon tracks. It tells Amazon that your product isn’t just optimised on-platform, but also popular across the wider web. This can lead to better keyword rankings and even improved visibility in the ‘related products’ and ‘customers also viewed’ sections.
Pinterest Users Are High-Intent Buyers
Here’s where it gets even more interesting. Pinterest users aren’t casual scrollers—they’re planners and buyers. According to recent data, 85% of Pinterest users use the platform to plan purchases, and more than 50% have made a purchase after seeing a Pin. That intent-driven behaviour makes them gold for Amazon sellers, especially those in lifestyle categories like home goods, fashion, fitness, wellness, crafts, and beauty.
It also works exceptionally well for products that require visual storytelling. A product photo on Amazon may be limited to white backgrounds and standard angles. On Pinterest, however, that same product can be shown in use, styled within a real-life setting, or compared with competitors—all of which can increase buyer interest before they even land on your Amazon listing.
Amazon Sellers Are Building Pinterest-Focused Funnels
This isn’t just about pinning random product links. In 2025, the smart sellers will build dedicated Pinterest sales funnels. That includes creating keyword-optimised Pin titles and descriptions, linking to Amazon listings via tracking URLs, and even using Tailwind (a Pinterest-approved scheduling tool) to automate consistent content delivery.
Some sellers pair Pinterest with affiliate marketing by using Amazon Associates links, letting them earn a small commission while driving traffic. Others are investing in Pinterest Ads, which have significantly lower CPCs than Google or Facebook, and offer highly visual targeting capabilities.
This multi-layered approach helps sellers not only rank higher on Amazon but also build a standalone presence outside the platform. That’s crucial in a time when Amazon fees are rising, competition is brutal, and algorithm changes can bury a listing overnight.
UK Sellers Are Catching On Quietly
In the UK, where e-commerce continues to thrive post-pandemic, savvy Amazon businesses are adopting Pinterest strategies as a cost-effective alternative to PPC-heavy models. Agencies specialising in Amazon growth are now offering Pinterest content creation as part of their packages. But it’s still under the radar enough that early adopters are seeing disproportionate gains.
One niche beauty brand based in Manchester recently reported a 40% increase in Amazon page views after launching a Pinterest board strategy. And since Pinterest data is indexed by Google, those Pins also started showing up in image search—driving an entirely new audience to their listings.
Pinterest Isn’t Trendy—It’s Tactical
Pinterest might not be the loudest platform in the marketing room, but it’s quietly becoming one of the most strategic tools in an Amazon seller’s arsenal. It’s visual, search-driven, evergreen, and favours quality content—traits that align perfectly with long-term brand building.
