Pin Generator - Automated Pinterest Marketing Reviews

I bought Pin Generator about a month ago. It is a great way to try and pick up extra traffic that doesn't take a lot of time. I use a csv and upload it into my dashboard and do a bulk schedule all at once. I have been using it for 6 weeks. I am still trying to work through some things like auto pins I haven't tried to do yet, but it looks promising.

During this time, my Pinterest account got shut down for spam violations. My Pinterest account has been around since 2018 so yes, it was a total bummer. I thought I would just have to start over.

I contacted Pin Generator and Ollie was super helpful. He totally went to bat for me with his contacts at Pinterest and within two weeks my account was fully restored. The Pin Generator support is responsive on every single question you have so if you are looking for a great way to pick up the pieces after your Google breakup, this is a good option that doesn't take a whole lot of time to work into your workflow. It's hard being dumped by Google, I get it. We had this great relationship, and then one day, Google just walked out of my life.

But with Pin Generator you can literally set it and forget it. Spend a couple hours a month, and set it all and forget it. Hopefully, new traffic will come into my life.

Here's the revised version with corrected grammar:

I've been using Pin Generator for quite some time now, and I believe it was my second attempt at purchasing the deal (the first time, a few years back, I tried it and thought the designs were pretty wonky at that time).

Anyway, for a few months now, I've been scheduling my pins with it. While the images weren't the most beautiful pins with intricate designs and a lot of personalized text, it significantly decreased the amount of effort required.

I was still experimenting with Carly Campbell's and Tony Hill's strategies and was also trying to find high-ranking pins to create similar designs/descriptions with post entities not necessarily discovered by Pin Generator. However, given the efforts to research, design, write, and schedule those pins with proven rankings, I have to say the results from pins autogenerated by PG might be slightly (±20-25%) worse, but still not far off. From my top 15 pins for the last 60 days, I have 6 old manually created pins (published about 5 years ago), 5 manually created pins, and 4 automatically generated with PG. Considering that automatic generation requires probably five times less time, I'll choose PG.

Recently, another issue occurred—my Pinterest account was banned. (I've experienced this before without using any automation, so I wouldn't blame it solely on the tool's content quality—it can happen to the best of us).

When that happened, I quite angrily responded to an automated message sent by the tool (probably something about updating the integration). The founder not only read it but also reached out personally, offering to look into it and help make things right.

I did send an appeal to Pinterest, and it was denied. However, after a few days of Ollie's back and forth with his contact at Pinterest, we were able to get the account back. I can't thank him enough for the support on this.

Overall, if you want to explore Pinterest marketing but don't feel like spending an hour of work to schedule a single pin, I strongly recommend giving Pin Generator a spin.

I love PingGenerator. It's much, much better than Tailwind! I highly recommend it!

You can create a boatload of pins in a snap! I've been using PinGenerator for almost a year now and have created 1000 pins, which is very quick to do. You can customize templates and a lot of things. The Sky is the limit. Oh, and one of my pin boards gets 20K views a month and 400 targeted link clicks to my website.

Thank you, Oliver, for creating such a great tool!

Oh my goodness. Pin Generator has quite frankly made digital marketing without social media a real possibility for my small business. As a solopreneur whose creative juices have been utterly drained by the crazy hustle of Insta and Facebook, I feel so much more confident about digital marketing again.

The speed at which Pin Generator produces engaging pins as well as the efficient automation processes are both saving me so much time. Oh, and in addition, there's no more fiddling about with Pinterest groups nor Tailwind.

Once I'd got to grips with the foibles, I've created some simple and elegant templates for my brand that are easy to use and look great. In many ways, it's great to have a smaller and simpler selection of templates rather than the surfeit of choice on Canva. I can now focus on other aspects of my business and still enjoy growth as I serve and engage with my ideal clients all over the world.

I’ve been using this tool for a bit now, and while it has a lot of potential, there are a few missing features - especially when it comes to the Autopin functionality. To be fair, I haven’t tried out things like templates, so my review is focused purely on the Autopin side.

What’s frustrating is the lack of bulk editing. If you need to change the autopin schedule or tweak something, you’re stuck doing it one pin at a time, which is super tedious. Plus, there’s no search function. You can’t just look up a specific pin, so you have to scroll through everything to check if a URL has already been scheduled.

Another letdown is the AI-generated content. It’s pretty hit or miss, with a incomplete paragraphs and sentences.

Overall, it’s a useful tool, but these missing features and glitches make it harder to use than it should be.

A couple more issues that I have noticed are:

It schedules pins so far out into the future (2-3 months ahead) that the Auto Pins that have been added with lengthier timeframes gets scheduled too many times and the new ones that are being added with shorter timeframes will have to wait in queue for months to get scheduled.

It can be glitchy at times too where it'll pin the same URL back to back even if the pinning timeframe for that URL is set with a gap of 2 or 3 months.
