Why Your Pinterest Views Are High but Clicks Are Low (and How to Fix It)
If you’re seeing thousands of views on Pinterest but barely any outbound clicks… you’re not alone! Many bloggers and small businesses struggle with this exact problem and reach out to me regarding this. Good news? High impressions mean Pinterest is already showing your Pins – now you just need to make users want to click. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly why views don’t always convert into traffic — and what you can do today to fix low click-through rates on Pinterest.
📉 Why Pinterest Views Don’t Equal Traffic
Here are the most common reasons why views are high but clicks are low:
1️⃣ Your Pin Design Isn’t Click-Worthy
Pinterest is a visual search engine. If users scroll past your Pins, your impressions go up… but clicks stay low.
What causes poor clicks?
✅ Too much text
✅ Weak headlines
✅ Small fonts
✅ Low-contrast colors
✅ Generic or unappealing images
👉 Solution: Bold, curiosity-driven designs
2️⃣ Your Headlines Don’t Create Curiosity
If the title doesn’t clearly communicate value, people won’t leave Pinterest to learn more.
Bad Example: Healthy Breakfast
Great Example: 10 Healthy Breakfasts You Can Make in 5 Minutes
👉 Use strong words: Easy, Proven, Quick, Free, Secret, Ultimate, Beginners Guide
3️⃣ You’re Targeting the Wrong Keywords
If Pinterest is showing your Pin to an irrelevant audience, your impressions spike — but clicks do not.
👉 Solution: Keyword-rich titles + descriptions + boards
Use phrases that match user intent such as:
“DIY fall crafts for kids”
“Gluten-free dinner recipes”
“Small business marketing tips”
4️⃣ Your Landing Page Doesn’t Match the Pin
When there is a disconnect, Pinterest lowers engagement — and users don’t click.
Example:
Pin: Free Canva Templates
Landing Page: Paid Templates Only ❌
👉 Always deliver exactly what the Pin promises.
5️⃣ You Aren’t Using Enough Fresh Pins
Pinterest prioritizes new content. If you’re re-pinning the same designs repeatedly, performance drops.
👉 Create multiple designs per URL (3–10 variations recommended)
✅ How to Fix Low Clicks on Pinterest (Step-by-Step)
Quick Fix Result
Improve Pin design readability Higher click-through rate
Add clear CTA text like “Read More” or “Download Now” Motivates users to act
Update titles with strong SEO keywords Shows Pins to the right audience
Test new image styles & layouts Identify top performers
Align Pin promise and landing page Increases trust & clicks
🎯 Click-Boosting Checklist
✅ Big, bold text over image
✅ Strong benefit in every title
✅ Vertical format: 1000 × 1500 px
✅ High-contrast colors
✅ Multiple fresh pins per link
✅ CTA in the design (ex: “See full recipe”)
Save this checklist – your analytics will thank you!
📈 Reminder: Impressions Are a GOOD Sign
High views = Pinterest is ranking your content.
Your next move? Optimize for CLICKS.
Even improving your click-through rate by 1% can mean thousands more visits per month.
Pinterest success ≠ viral views
Pinterest success = website traffic + conversions
