If you’re not using quotes in your Pinterest strategy, you’re leaving an important amount of traffic on the table.

2. Quotes Rank Easily in Google (This Is a Hidden Traffic Source)
This is one of the biggest advantages:
Google tends to really like simple quotes and quote roundups from Pinterest.
You can publish roundups and make pins such as:
- “25 Funny Baking Quotes”
- “30 Motivational Quotes for Mondays”
- “50 Aesthetic Self-Love Quotes”
…and these pages often:
- rank without backlinks
- bring passive traffic for years
👉 You get Google traffic
👉 AND Pinterest traffic
👉 AND saves that boost your entire Pinterest profile
This is the easiest SEO + Pinterest combo you can use.
3. Quote Pins Boost Saves — Improving Overall Pinterest Reach
Quotes get saved more than almost any other content type because they are:
- relatable
- emotional
- funny
- aesthetic
And the best part?
People save inspirational, relatable, funny, or aesthetic quotes far more than product images or simple images. High saves = Pinterest assumes your board is engaging → increases distribution.
Your product pins, blog pins, and evergreen content all benefit from the increased trust signals.
4. They Stop the Scroll Instantly
Good pin quotes work because they’re:
- tall
- bold
- funny
- instantly readable
- visually unique
Pinterest favors content that stops users mid-scroll. Illustrated pins combine humor + design to grab attention faster than generic lifestyle images.
5. People love quote listicles — and you should be creating them.
When users click through and discover lots of valuable, save-worthy quotes:
- Users often save multiple quotes from the same article
- Those extra saves rapidly multiply your reach
In short: create listicle-style quote articles — Pinterest users can’t resist saving them repeatedly.
6. They Can Go Viral on Other Platforms Easily
Another major advantage of quote content is how well it performs beyond Pinterest.
You can share the same illustrated quote on your Facebook page, Instagram, TikTok, or even in your newsletter — and quotes often take off quickly on those platforms.
This gives you:
- extra visibility
- potential viral reach
- traffic coming from multiple channels
- more brand awareness without extra content creation
Quotes don’t just work on Pinterest — they spread fast everywhere.
