RevapinHow to Switch a Personal Pinterest Account to Business
If you started on a personal account and now want analytics and rich pins, you don't have to start over. Converting to a free business account takes a minute, keeps every board and pin you already have, and unlocks the tools built for reaching people.
How to convert
Open your account settings and look for the option to convert to a business account, or add a business account linked to your existing one. Pinterest walks you through a couple of screens: your business name, the type of business, and your website. That's it — your boards, pins, and followers carry straight over.
What you get after switching
The upgrade is about visibility and measurement:
- analytics showing impressions, saves, and clicks per pin;
- rich pins that pull live info from your site;
- access to ads, whenever you're ready for them.
None of it changes how your profile looks to a casual visitor.
Do the first-week basics
Once you've switched, verify your website so your domain shows on your profile, and set up rich pins if you have product or article pages. Then check your analytics after a couple of weeks to see which pins are actually landing, and make more like those.
Back up before any big change
Before restructuring boards for business use, it's worth keeping a copy of what you've built. Revapin downloads your boards to your computer as folders, so you can reorganize freely on Pinterest without worrying about losing the collection you spent time on.
Converting is quick and reversible, and it costs nothing. If you've outgrown a personal account, switch, verify your site, and start reading your analytics.
