Claiming a website on Pinterest means website verification, which helps to optimize your profile and drive more traffic to your blog or website. Once you claim the website, your profile picture on Pinterest will be shown with all your pins from your site, prompting users to visit your page. You can claim more than one website per Pinterest account. You have to use a computer or laptop to claim your website.
There are two ways to verify your website on Pinterest:
- By adding HTML tag
- By uploading HTML file
