Introduction
My Pin was lacking some information, like the price appearing over the thumbnail of the Pin. Getting all the info I can into my Pins is super important for me, so that search engines like Pinterest and Google know that it is a product and promote it accordingly.
What followed was an extensive comparison of how Pinterest on different platforms handled both creating and displaying pins. Were they Rich Pins? What data could I immediately save into my Pin? What could I edit later?
In case you’re more of a visual learner, contained below is a platform-by-platform demonstration of how Pinterest displays your pins.

Summary of Observations
1. Not every Pinterest application will make Rich Pins. The ones that will make Rich Pins are:
- PC Chrome browser
- iOS Chrome App
- Android Firefox app
- Android Pinterest App
The ones that will NOT make Rich Pins are:
- iOS Pinterest app
- PC Chrome browser extension
2. Only PC Chrome browser will allow you to create and edit pin titles. This is a big part of making Pinterest pins SEO-friendly.
The most shocking part of my findings was how poorly the iOS Pinterest app performed for pin creation. The pins it made could not have their titles edited during creation, the app has no way to edit the titles later, and they were not Rich Pins. However, I still must reluctantly recommend the app for people that are using it for browsing, as it does show the product prices on the thumbnails, and doesn’t truncate pin titles like the Android Pinterest app does.
However, for pin creation, the version of Pinterest on PC using Google Chrome’s browser is superior in every way except for not displaying those previous product prices. Creating SEO-friendly pin titles during pin creation, editing those titles later, and the assurance that they will be Rich Pins puts Chrome as my recommendation.
Conclusion
Do you use Pinterest on any platform I didn’t cover here? How does it perform? Does it create Rich Pins? Leave a comment and share the knowledge!
