How to Claim Your Website on Pinterest
Are you looking to claim your website on Pinterest? You have a few options to do so and the website platform doesn’t matter so much.
How to Claim Your Website Using Your Domain Name Host
Open your domain name website and navigate to “advanced DNS” settings. This is what Namecheap looks like.
Then open Pinterest and choose head to claimed external accounts.
Scroll down and click the claim button to the right of “websites” and when this box pops up click “add TXT record” and it should copy to your clipboard.
Head back to Namecheap or your domain name host and we are going to add some details.
First, your host record is going to need a few details besides what you just copied.
Choose a TXT record type from the drop down.
If your host requires it put an @ symbol in the Host Name field.
Then paste the value you copied from Pinterest in the value field.
Click save and then head back to Pinterest.
Put in your domain name on the verify screen that pops up and you’ll see the connected alert on the next page. You’re all set.
How to Claim Your Website on Pinterest Using a HTML Tag
Follow the steps above until you get to the domain name host portion. Click “add HTML tag” and copy the value to your clipboard. Then head to your website builder and find your header.
Add the HTML tag to your website header and click save. Then head back to your Pinterest account, input your domain name and click verify as the images show above.
