Pinterest is a visual search engine more than a social network — the real ranking levers are keyword-rich Pin titles and descriptions. Hashtags are a secondary signal, but they still surface in search and aid topic matching. Use 3-5 relevant ones, always in the description (never the title or board name).

3-5 relevant ones in the Pin description. Pinterest technically allows up to 20 but quality beats quantity.
In the Pin description only. They don't work in Pin titles or board titles — those should be pure keyword copy.
Niche usually wins. Pinterest users search specifically — "minimalist bedroom ideas under $200" beats "bedroom". Match your tags to how people actually search for what you're Pinning.
