Pinterest is good for growing organic traffic on your website and Instagram is best for business and personal or Ads.

Hi,

If you want to grow more awareness about your business and build customer engagement, use Instagram. However, if you want to funnel in visitors back to your site by distributing content, then Pinterest is where you should focus on.

Most audiences are into Instagram rather than Pinterest. It is a good place to engage with possible customers.

Hey @Marc van Leeuwen

Does it depend upon what kind of business do you have? Both are excellent kinds of business platforms.

Both Pinterest and Instagram are all about aesthetics. The bread and butter of these social media are visual basis content, especially high-quality images.

The Instagram audience is far more diversified than Pinterest, there are more users globally.

I think that Pinterest is best because it is free, in comparison to Instagram. On Instagram, you get leads when you use paid advertisement.

Pinterest is often used as a discovery and planning tool. Users come to Pinterest with a shopping mindset, looking for inspiration and ideas they can act upon later.

Choosing between Pinterest and Instagram depends on your business needs. Pinterest is great for long-lasting content and works like a visual search engine, making it ideal for driving traffic over time. It's perfect for niches like DIY, home decor, and fashion. On the other hand, Instagram is fantastic for real-time engagement and building a community. It’s highly visual and great for brands that thrive on visual storytelling and frequent updates. If you want immediate interaction and engagement, go with Instagram. For long-term discoverability and traffic, Pinterest is the way to go.
