When to Outsource Pinterest Management (and What to Expect)

Pinterest is one of the strongest long-term traffic sources for bloggers, creators, and small business owners – but only when it’s managed intentionally, consistently, and strategically. And that’s exactly where many businesses hit a wall. Here is what I learned after manage Pinterest accounts worldwide since 2017:

  • Pinterest takes time;
  • Pinterest takes consistency;
  • Pinterest takes strategy (and a lot of testing).

That’s why outsourcing your Pinterest management is becoming more and more common. In the most cases when a client contact me, every time I found a busy entrepreneur, an overwhelmed blogger, or a small business owner trying to juggle everything. You don’t need to experience burnout in you business! Hiring a Pinterest manager can be the difference between stagnant analytics and a Pinterest account that grows on autopilot. If you’ve ever wondered when to outsource Pinterest management and what you should expect when you do, this guide breaks down everything you need to know.

Why Pinterest Management Is Harder Than It Looks – even in the AI era?

Before discussing outsourcing, it’s important to understand why Pinterest is so time-consuming (even if we use AI tools for support). A proper Pinterest strategy includes:

  • Keyword research
  • Pin creation (fresh pins every week)
  • Scheduling
  • Board organization
  • Tracking analytics
  • Staying updated on platform changes
  • A/B testing designs
  • Seasonal planning
  • Content repurposing
  • Regular optimization

Pinterest isn’t a “pin it and forget it” platform – not anymore. The businesses that see long-term growth are the ones who follow a strategy and stick to it. If that feels overwhelming, that’s when outsourcing becomes the smartest move.

Signs It’s Time to Outsource Pinterest Management

Not everyone needs a Pinterest manager. But if you check several of the signs below, your business is likely ready.

  1. Your Pinterest traffic is stagnant (or declining)

If you’ve been posting for months with:

  • No growth
  • Decreasing clicks
  • Plateaued impressions
  • Low engagement

…you probably need expert help. A Pinterest strategist can identify issues you may not even be aware of, such as keyword mismatches, pin design problems, incorrect board structure, or outdated tactics. But remember that even with a strategist will need time to make sure the strategy is implemented on the right way! There is no overnight magic! So, be prepare with patience!

  1. You don’t have time to create fresh pins every week

Pinterest needs fresh content consistently. Not daily – but weekly. If you’re too busy running your business, writing blog posts, or fulfilling orders (which is reasonable), a Pinterest manager takes this completely off your plate.

  1. You’re confused by Pinterest SEO

Pinterest SEO requires:

  • Keyword strategy
  • On-pin optimization
  • Board SEO
  • Search intent matching
  • Seasonal trend timing

Most business owners I’ve seen, just skip or guess on these steps. So, a Pinterest manager ensures your content is actually searchable.

  1. Your pin graphics aren’t performing

If your pins get impressions but no clicks, the problem is often:

  • Weak design
  • Wrong style
  • Poor titles
  • No CTA
  • Wrong image type
  • Design not matching search intent

Remember: Experienced Pinterest managers know how to design clickable, scroll-stopping pins that fit your niche.

  1. You want Pinterest to become a consistent traffic source

If you’re ready for:

  • More blog readers
  • More customers
  • More email subscribers
  • More product sales

…then outsourcing can help you reach those goals faster.

Remember: Pinterest is a long game. A professional Pinterest manager ensures you stay consistent for the months it takes to see strong growth.

  1. Your business is growing – and Pinterest has fallen behind

If your to-do list keeps getting longer, Pinterest is often the first thing to slip through the cracks.

Remember: Outsourcing means you stay visible even when life or business gets busy.

What to Expect When You Outsource Pinterest Management

Many business owners wonder:

“What exactly does a Pinterest manager do?”
“What results should I expect?”

Here’s what my high-quality Pinterest management services always include:

  1. A Custom Pinterest Strategy

Not a generic plan – your strategy should be tailored to:

  • Your niche
  • Your content
  • Your goals
  • Your audience
  • Your products
  • Your analytics

As a Pinterest manager, I always start with audit of your current account and create a plan for long-term growth.

  1. Keyword Research and SEO Optimization

I always provide:

  • Relevant keywords
  • Organizing keyword clusters
  • Optimizing boards
  • Optimizing pin titles & descriptions
  • Tracking search trends
  • Correct SEO errors

I do this, because Pinterest SEO can make or break your reach.

  1. Consistent Pin Creation

As experienced Pinterest manager, I will design fresh pins every week, including:

  • Static pins
  • Video pins
  • Seasonal pins
  • Product pins
  • Idea Pins (if needed)

I do this, because your designs should be on-brand, scroll-stopping, and optimized for clicks.

  1. Scheduling & Publishing

You won’t need to worry about:

  • Logging in every day
  • Batch scheduling
  • Posting at the right time
  • Pin distribution
  • Seasonal planning

This is handled for you!

  1. Monthly Reporting & Analytics

As your Pinterest manager, by the end of month, I always provide:

  • Monthly performance reports
  • Growth breakdown (clicks, impressions, saves)
  • Best-performing content
  • Strategy improvements
  • Recommendations and proposing content creation ideas

I do this, because this keeps you informed without overwhelming you.

  1. Long-term, realistic results (not overnight magic)

As a Professional manager, I understand the Pinterest timeline. Most accounts I manage grow noticeably at:

  • 3 months: foundational growth
  • 6 months: steady traffic increases
  • 9 months: stronger momentum
  • 12 months: long-term predictable growth

Remember: Pinterest success rarely happens overnight- but it does happen with consistency.

When Outsourcing Pinterest Management Makes the Most Sense

You should outsource if:

  • You want Pinterest to become a major traffic driver
  • You’re tired of guessing what works

You want a strategy designed by a specialist

  • Your time is better spent on other parts of your business
  • You’ve tested Pinterest yourself with little success
  • You want to grow faster and more efficiently

Remember: Pinterest management is an investment instead of an expense – because it directly supports your long-term visibility, traffic, and customer growth.

Final Thoughts: Outsourcing Pinterest Management = More Time + More Traffic + More Growth

Pinterest can bring:

✨ consistent traffic
✨ high-quality leads
✨ passive sales
✨ email subscribers
✨ long-term visibility

…but only when it’s managed strategically.

If you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to take your traffic seriously, outsourcing Pinterest management is one of the smartest marketing decisions you can make.
