Or merge it into a more relevant board so you keep any good Pins.Step 3 — Refresh your board descriptions.Write one or two sentences that clearly say what the board is about, using keywords people actually search for. Talk like a human, not a spam bot.Example: “Discover cozy modern farmhouse kitchen ideas, easy DIYs, and budget-friendly updates.”Step 4 — Put your best boards up front.Rearrange your boards so your highest-impact ones are at the top.
