Make sure each of your boards has an easy to read title and an attractive cover image. Take a peek at our boards. We rotate our covers every once in a while to keep things fresh.

Don't forget to make sure each of your pins reaches its full potential by adding a brief description before pinning (or repinning). The keywords you add to the description will determine how – and how often – it shows up in user search results.
