Robots.txt Blocking Pinterest From Your Images?

Pinterest crawls sites with its own bot (Pinterestbot) separate from Googlebot — a robots.txt rule that only explicitly allows Google to leave Pinterest silently blocked, even if you never intended to exclude it.

The fix:

check your robots.txt for a rule specifically allowing Pinterestbot, alongside whatever rules already cover Googlebot. If it's missing, add it — this is a common, easy-to-miss gap for anyone relying on Pinterest for product discovery.
