Pinterest metrics

Pinterest metrics help you understand how you're doing on Pinterest. This article describes the Pinterest metrics available in Analytics. Use CTRL+F (CMD +F on Mac) to search content in this article.

Note: Hootsuite cannot provide analytics for repins that you don't own.

For details and limitations on how we collect, backfill, and store data for each social network, see Understand data in Analytics.

Pinterest Page-level metrics

Page metrics or Page-level metrics display results that occurred during the selected date range for all posts published to a Page, regardless of when the posts were published. So, if you track any Page-level metrics in your reports, the data you see is for the entire Page. For example, a metric like Page video starts shows you the total number of times people started watching your videos during your selected date range - it doesn't matter if the videos were published during or outside of that range.

Pinterest post-level metrics

Post metrics or post-level metrics only display results for pins published during the selected date range. So, if you review your post performance results or track any post-level metrics in your reports, like Post impressions, the data you see is only for the pins published during your selected date range.

Note: Due to a Pinterest limitation, Hootsuite cannot retrieve metrics for Pinterest posts until 48 hours after the post has been published.
