Pinterest Impressions

Pinterest Impressions are simply the number of times your pin was shown to someone using the platform. The more impressions, the more opportunity your pin has to be clicked on, saved, or re-shared. 

Remember first impressions are important and a great pin layout and a visually stunning graphic is a great first step. 

Pinterest Total Audience

Pinterest Total Audience is the number of people who have engaged with your pins (organic or reshares) over the time period selected. 

Pinterest Engagements

Pinterest Engagements are the total number of engagements on your pins, including saves, closeups, link clicks and carousel card swipes. This is a critical piece of information if you are using Pinterest to drive traffic to your website.
