Short answer

How can I check my Pinterest targeting and keywords using AI?

Your AI pulls your saved audiences, product catalogs, and ad group keywords to find discrepancies. You'll get a clear view of where your targeting might be drifting from your actual product offerings.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI organizes its findings into these specific areas.

AUDIENCE

Audience drift detection

The AI compares your saved audiences against your intended strategy. It flags segments that are too broad or misaligned with your brand.

CATALOG

Catalog accuracy check

The AI reviews your product catalogs to ensure the items you're promoting actually exist and are correctly categorized.

KEYWORDS

Keyword relevance report

The AI scans your ad group keywords to find terms that don't match your products or are wasting spend.

HUMAN

Manual adjustment needed

The AI identifies specific errors that require you to log in and manually change settings or update your creative.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI uses direct access to your Pinterest data to perform the audit.

  1. Pull audience data
