Product feed health and structure can directly impact lower funnel results. Your feed’s metadata feeds into tools for relevancy, auction favorability 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 optimize your metadata or tweak related elements like targeting. You can also take a class dedicated to product feed health on Pinterest Academy.

We recommend organizing campaigns in a way that reduces audience overlap and helps you test more effectively. We call this the “MECE” approach (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive). It’s specifically for lower funnel campaigns, and helps you intentionally isolate precise variables for testing. This means 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.

Campaign assets should speak directly to performance goals with clear CTAs and inspiring product imagery. Think about the visual context of Pinterest when you design ads: You really want your images to pop and stand out from other Pins on the platform. For longer campaigns, swap creative over time to keep things fresh and rejuvenate results. For more detailed creative tips for performance ads, take our course on Pinterest Academy.
