- Click Create a business account.
- Enter your email, a password and your age, then click Create account.
- Fill in the profile fields and click Next.
- Describe your business and click Next.
- Choose whether you want to run ads and click Next.
- Pick where to start, or click the X to go to your new account.
- If you already have a personal account, you can convert it instead from Settings, then Account management, then Convert account.

Good to Know
Tips for This Site
- Pinterest is not a local directory, so it helps with photos and links more than with a map listing.
- A personal account must be public before you convert it, and it cannot be linked to another Pinterest account.
- You accept Pinterest Business Terms when you create the account, so read them first.
