Pinterest is introducing a new tool to help marketers keep up with the top US search terms on the platform.
Currently in beta, Pinterest Trends provides an overview of the most popular search terms from the past 12 months.
The tool will also highlight when particular search terms have hit their peak, along with other insights to help marketers plan their content and advertising strategies.
“Pinterest Trends will help brands get deeper insights into planning behaviors on the platform, and allow them to allocate budgets to campaigns during various planning stages. It will also validate assumptions about emerging trends, refine search queries with the aid of auto-complete suggestions, and help advertisers find a list of keywords to include or avoid while planning media campaigns.”
The company notes that the Pinterest algorithm has been powered for years by the preferences and interests that are now available for marketers to learn from in Pinterest Trends.
