Getting Started with Site Pages in Tailwind

Site Pages lets you keep the pages from your website you want to promote in one place, then create Pins or find keywords for them in a couple of clicks.

Site Pages is a place in Tailwind where you tell us which pages of your website you want to promote. Once Tailwind knows about a page, you can create Pins for it or research keywords for it in just a couple of clicks — without copying URLs back and forth between tools.

Why use Site Pages

  • Keep the blog posts, products, and landing pages you most want to promote together in one place.

  • Jump straight from a page to creating Pins for it with SmartPin, or to finding keywords to target.

  • Save time by skipping the back-and-forth of pasting URLs into other tools each time you want to promote new content.

Where to find Site Pages

If your account uses Tailwind's product-focused navigation, you'll see Sites in the left-hand navigation menu — look for the globe icon (it appears just after Keywords, with a "New" badge). Click it to open your Site Pages.

Site Pages is rolling out alongside the product-focused navigation, so if you don't see Sites in your left-hand menu yet, it may not be enabled on your account.

What you can do with each site

Click a site's domain name (or its page-count) in the Site Pages table to open that site's page list, showing each page's status (Pending, Valid, Redirect, Not found, or Error) and when it was last checked — with a link back to the main Site Pages view.

Each site in your list also has a menu (the three-dot menu on the site's row) with the following actions:

  • Generate SmartPins — takes you to SmartPin bulk activation with that site already selected, so you can create fresh Pins for its pages. This option becomes available once the site has at least one page.

  • Find keywords — opens Keyword Research with the site's URL already searched, so you can find keywords to target for that content.

  • Add pages — add more pages from your site to Tailwind.

  • Refresh pages — update the list of pages Tailwind has for the site.

  • Delete site — remove the site from Site Pages.

What happens when you generate SmartPins in bulk

When you use Generate SmartPins, you choose pages by checking the boxes next to them (or selecting all pages) and confirming. Tailwind then creates a separate SmartPin for every page you selected — so selecting all pages on a large site creates one SmartPin per page in a single step. A few things to know before you bulk-activate:

  • Pins are generated in batches. Large imports are processed a few at a time, so newly generated Pins can keep appearing gradually over the following hours. This is your original import finishing up — not new SmartPins being created on their own.

  • Each SmartPin regenerates weekly by default. SmartPins created from Site Pages use the standard SmartPin schedule: a fresh Pin is generated for each page every 7 days, and this continues until the SmartPin is deactivated or deleted.

  • To stop Pins from a bulk import, deactivate or delete the individual SmartPins from the SmartPin Dashboard — use the active/inactive toggle to pause one, or the ⋮ (More actions) menu to delete it. See Getting Started with SmartPin for details. Dismissing on-screen banners or notifications does not deactivate the SmartPins themselves.

What if Tailwind can't find your sitemap?

When you add a site, Tailwind looks for your website's sitemap automatically so it can list your pages. If you see a "No sitemap was found" error, it means Tailwind couldn't locate a sitemap at the usual place for your site. Here's how to fix it:

  • Make sure your site has a sitemap. Most websites publish one at a standard location such as /sitemap.xml or /sitemap_index.xml, or list its location in the site's robots.txt file. If your site doesn't have a sitemap yet, you'll need to add one before Tailwind can discover your pages.

  • Enter your sitemap URL manually. Some website platforms place their sitemap at a non-standard address, so automatic discovery may not find it. If you know your sitemap's full URL, you can paste it in to point Tailwind to it directly.

This error is specific to importing pages in Site Pages. It isn't related to domain tracking in Account Settings, which is a separate feature with no sitemap involved.

Site Pages works hand in hand with SmartPin and Keyword Research, so it's a quick starting point whenever you want to turn the content on your website into Pins for Pinterest.
