Jump-start success with our performance framework

We coach clients to success with our ‘Path to Performance’ scorecard. Follow all four best practices to help maximise efficiency and results for performance campaigns.

Building a successful campaign on Pinterest starts with a strong foundation. By leveraging the right tools and signals, you can track performance effectively, optimise your campaigns and achieve measurable results.

Product feed health and structure can directly impact lower funnel results. Your feed’s metadata feeds into tools for relevancy, auction favourability and more. The better your data, the better Pinterest can show your content to the most relevant people, in the most strategic moments. Use our product feed best practices to optimise your metadata or tweak related elements likes targeting. You can also take a class dedicated to product feed health on Pinterest Academy.

We recommend organising campaigns in a way that reduces audience overlap and helps you to test more effectively. We call this the ‘MECE’ approach (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive). It’s specifically for lower funnel campaigns, and helps you to intentionally isolate precise variables for testing. This means that you get the right insights to learn and can keep improving results. Learn how to apply the MECE approach in our dedicated blog post or on Pinterest Academy.
