  1. Convert to or create a Pinterest business account.
  2. Connect your WordPress site to Pinterest.
  3. Add the proper meta tags: You must add open graph metadata tags to your website. This part is a bit technical. That's why I suggest using WordPress schema plugins for this. Tasty Recipes, AIOSEO, and the Yoast SEO plugin are perfect for getting this done.
