Not showing up in search

[patricfranks1975]

Hello. I have changed my personal page into my business. I have an online Christian Apparel and product store thru Teespring. I have set up my business profile and want to promote it free. I have created a pin with my placeit model wearing one of my hoodies on a template. The issue is I am trying to get my image  Pin to upload on your Christian apparel page. It's not working. When I type  in Christian apparel other designers show up but not mine. I need mine to show up alongside them for potential buyers.  I do have the analytics set up thru my business profile. I am not ready to advertise yet cause I do not have the funds. So could you guide to what I am doing wrong?

Hi there @patricfranks1975, and welcome to the PBC!

Your Pins are not guaranteed to show in search results — we only yield certain results based on our algorithm. Since there are millions of people on Pinterest, it’s not possible for everyone’s ideas and content to show in search.

In addition to search, we also show your Pins to users who we think would be interested in your content. You can see how often your content appears on Pinterest with Analytics. 

Give us a shout if you have any questions!

 Ok. So I am seeing under my profile business picture 35 views. Is this I am assuming the people who are viewing my business profile?

Hi @patricfranks1975!

That number is regarding your monthly views, which refers to the number of times your published Pins and Pins saved from your claimed domain or accounts were on screen in the last 30 days.

So how do I get people to see them and from the earlier post are you all because of algorithm that my business profile can't show up in the search results would you all send my business profile to other users to view? I am just  trying to find out how my business profile can be seen by other user' s thru free promotion?
