How to check a site for the Pinterest Ads tag

  1. Open the site in Chrome and open DevTools (⌥⌘I on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows), then the Network tab.
  2. Reload and filter for s.pinimg.com. A request to it (or ct.pinterest.com) means the tag is live on that page.
  3. Not there? It may only fire on conversion pages, or sit inside Google Tag Manager. Search the container’s tags (or the gtm.js response) for s.pinimg.com.

Pinterest advertisers: common questions

Is this the total number of Pinterest advertisers?

No. We detected the Pinterest Ads tag on 15,690 domains among 1,268,817 company websites analysed. This is an observed sample of companies and startups, not an estimate of the platform's whole advertiser base.

Which advertisers are most likely to also use Pinterest?

In our comparison panel, 37% of sites with the Quora Ads tag also carry the Pinterest Ads tag, against 2.8% of the full panel. Next come Snapchat Ads (30%), Nextdoor Ads (21%) and TikTok Ads (20%).

Which companies use Pinterest for advertising?

They include Vagas.com, Vale, CNN, Starbucks and Inter. The table on this page lists more.

How does Pinterest compare to other ad platforms?

Within our 468,601-site tag-manager panel, Pinterest ranks #9 of 14 major ad platforms by detected sites — ahead of The Trade Desk, Snapchat Ads, Spotify Ads, Quora Ads and Nextdoor Ads, behind Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads and TikTok Ads.

What is s.pinimg.com?

It serves Pinterest tag (core.js) — the tag advertisers add so Pinterest can measure ad clicks and conversions on their own site. Its presence means a site has set up Pinterest Ads measurement; it does not tell you how much, or whether, they are currently spending.

How can I check if a website has the Pinterest Ads tag?

Open the site in Chrome, open DevTools → Network, reload, and filter for "s.pinimg.com". A request to it means the tag is live on that page. If the site uses Google Tag Manager, the tag can also sit inside the container and fire only on certain pages.
