Claim/Verify Your Website with Pinterest

Claim your website on Pinterest to boost visibility, build trust, and track how your content is shared

To verify your website with Pinterest, add a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings — Real Geeks handles this for you when you email the code to support@realgeeks.com. Once verified, your site is claimed to your Pinterest Business profile, every Pin from your website reinforces your brand, and you gain valuable insights into how your listings and pages are performing.

Need to Know

  • You must have a Pinterest Business account to claim your website

  • Because Real Geeks manages your domain's DNS settings on your behalf, you do not need direct access to your domain host — simply email the TXT record code to the Real Geeks support team

  • Verification is completed by adding a TXT record — a short text string — to your domain’s DNS settings

  • It can take up to 72 hours for Pinterest to verify your website

  • Once verified, your Pinterest profile is linked to all Pins from your site
