Food Bloggers: How to Make Pinterest Work for You (Part One)ags. And people wonder why bloggers are confused? Although Pinterest haven’t come up with a specific number of hashtags you should include, they do recommend not using more than 20. RICH PINS If you haven’t already, you need to make sure all your pins are the rich variety. Rich pins provide additional information for content saved to Pinterest, kind of like the premium (although still free) version of a regular pin. There are four different types of rich pins and for us food bloggers, we need to be concentrating on the recipe rich pins as these allow us to include relevant information alongside our images, such as ingredients. The exact information pulled through depends on the recipe plugin (and specific options within it) you use. I choose not to add cooking times and other information and therefore for my own pins, only the list of ingredients is displayed. Rich pins prepopulate the title of your recipe to your pin, which as the screenshot shows is under the image (as shown below). Then come the hashtags as previously mentioned.
