Which feature lets people on Pinterest organize their ideas and inspirations?

• Albums
• Pin tabs
• Boards
• Folders

Explanation: Boards are the primary organizational feature on Pinterest. They function as digital collections or “scrapbooks” where users save and curate individual Pins around specific themes, projects, or interests.

Which two of the following placements on Pinterest are used to discover ideas? Select all that apply.

• Browse
• Live streams
• Commercials
• Search

Explanation: Pinterest is primarily a visual discovery engine, and these two placements represent the two ways users interact with the platform to find new ideas: Browse (Home Feed): This is the discovery surface where users “passively” find inspiration. When a user opens Pinterest, the home feed (Browse) displays a curated selection of Pins based on their past interests, saves, and followed accounts. It is designed for serendipitous discovery—finding ideas you didn’t even know you were looking for. Search: This is the “active” discovery surface. Users type specific keywords or phrases (e.g., “small kitchen remodel” or “summer outfit ideas”) into the search bar to find targeted inspiration. Unlike traditional search engines, Pinterest Search is highly visual and focuses on providing actionable ideas rather than just text-based answers.

To successfully upload a data source (also known as a data feed, product feed or product catalog) to Pinterest using the Catalogs tool, seven fields must be included. Which two fields must be included? Select all that apply.

• Product type
• Product group
• Price
• Gender
• Title

Explanation: To successfully use the Catalogs tool on Pinterest, your data source (CSV, XML, or TXT file) must follow a strict schema. Pinterest requires seven mandatory fields to validate a product feed. Without these, the feed will be rejected during the ingestion process.

An advertiser checks its tag health in Ads Manager and sees the following warnings: A red triangle reads: “The em value provided by your Pinterest Tag is " (the empty string), undefined, “n/a” or null. It should be a SHA-256 hash.” An orange diamond reads: “Too few of the product IDs included in your add to cart events match the Product IDs in your catalog.” An orange diamond reads: “Too few of the product IDs included in your checkout events match the product IDs in your catalog.” A green circle reads: “We are detecting this event, but at least one parameter needs action.” Which warning indicates a critical alert?

• An orange diamond in the checkout event
• A green circle
• A red triangle
• An orange diamond in the add to cart event

Explanation: In Pinterest Ads Manager, the Tag Health dashboard uses a color-coded system to indicate the severity of issues with your event tracking. Red Triangle (Critical Alert): This represents a high-priority error that usually results in the loss of data or the inability to track specific actions. In this example, the em (hashed email) value is missing or improperly formatted. Since the email is a primary identifier for matching users to their Pinterest accounts, this error severely hinders the ability to attribute conversions and optimize ad delivery.

An advertiser recently implemented the Pinterest tag and notices conversions are not being reported accurately for people accessing Pinterest on multiple devices.What should the advertiser do?

• Enable enhanced match.
• Set up a new tag.
• Modify the event code to track more parameters.
• Modify the base code to include multiple tag IDs.

Explanation: Enhanced Match is a feature that allows the Pinterest Tag to more accurately track conversions by using secure, hashed first-party data (such as email addresses) from your website.

Which two options can be used to a data source (also known as a data feed, product feed or product catalog) to Pinterest using the Catalogs tool? Select all that apply.

• Parentheses separated values
• Tab separated values (TSV)
• Google sheet (GXML)
• Encrypted compressed files
• Comma separated values (CSV)

Explanation: To ingest your products into the Pinterest Catalogs tool, your data source must be provided in a specific file format that Pinterest’s system can parse and map to product Pins. Comma separated values (CSV): This is the most common format. It is a plain text file where each product attribute (like title, price, or image link) is separated by a comma. Tab separated values (TSV): This format works similarly to a CSV, but uses tabs to separate the data fields. This is often preferred for product feeds where titles or descriptions might contain commas, which could accidentally break the formatting of a standard CSV.

Which two solutions can optimize campaign creative and keyword targeting for new trends? Select all that apply.

• Pinterest Predicts
• Pinterest Trends tool
• Ad account history
• Conversion insights
• Analytics overview

Explanation: To stay ahead of the curve and maintain relevance, Pinterest provides two distinct but complementary tools that allow advertisers to align their creative assets and keyword strategies with emerging user behaviors: Pinterest Predicts: This is an annual “not-yet-trending” report that forecasts the biggest trends for the year ahead. With a historical 80% accuracy rate, it provides deep insights into the aesthetics, color palettes, and cultural shifts (e.g., “Blue Beauty” or “80s Luxury”) that are expected to rise. Advertisers use this to optimize creative by designing visuals that match these future aesthetics before they become mainstream. Pinterest Trends Tool: This is a real-time, interactive dashboard that allows you to see the search volume and historical patterns of specific keywords. It helps you identify when specific topics start to “spike” seasonally or discover “Related Trends” to expand your keyword targeting. It is essential for keyword optimization because it reveals the exact phrasing users are currently using to find inspiration.

What is the primary purpose of the Pinterest Conversion Insights page on Pinterest?

• Provide insights on an advertiser’s top boards
• Measure audience reach
• Measure organic and paid performance
• Provide insights on trends

Explanation: The Conversion Insights page in Pinterest Ads Manager is a specialized reporting dashboard designed to give businesses a holistic view of how their presence on the platform drives real-world results.

How can the Pinterest Conversion Insights page help an advertiser understand marketing activity?

• By measuring the number of people on Pinterest across multiple regions
• By tracking performance of competitors’ ads on Pinterest
• By tracking trending topics and products on Pinterest
• By measuring the impact of organic and paid efforts on conversions

Explanation: The Pinterest Conversion Insights page is a holistic reporting tool that allows advertisers to see the combined value of their entire Pinterest presence. Its primary goal is to bridge the gap between “free” organic content and “paid” advertising.
