Do you want to claim or verify your WordPress website with Pinterest?
Confirming or verifying your website provides valuable insights into how frequently your content is shared on Pinterest. Additionally, it directs users to more information, as your Pinterest profile is linked to any Pins containing saved content from your website.
This article will guide you through adding and verifying your website on Pinterest using the CrawlWP WordPress SEO plugin.
Claiming your Website on Pinterest
The first step is to visit the Pinterest Claimed Accounts page. If you are not logged in to your Pinterest account, you will be asked to log in or create an account if you don’t have one.
Once you have successfully logged in, you will be directed to the “Claimed Accounts” page. There, click the “Claim” button next to the Websites option.
Pinterest will immediately display an HTML meta tag. Hover on the tag to copy it (e.g., <meta name="p:domain_verify" content="your-verification-code" />).
Adding The Verification Meta Tag to WordPress
Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard to add the meta tag to your WordPress.
Navigate to CrawlWP >> Settings >> Core >> Site Verification, paste the copied HTML tag content into the Pinterest Verify Code field and save the changes.
Verifying Your Site Connection to Pinterest
The last step is to return to the Pinterest verification page, insert the website URL, and click the Verify button.
You will see a confirmation message indicating that your site has been verified if verification is successful. If verification fails, ensure you have copied the correct tag and saved changes in CrawlWP before trying again.
