The Pinterest carousel playbook
Pinterest is a search engine, not a feed: pins surface for months or years on keyword queries. A carousel pin lets you rank one asset for a whole topic — each card can target a sub-step of the search intent.
Algorithm note — Pins compound: the average pin keeps driving traffic long after posting, and carousels earn more closeups because users flip through the cards.
