What is SEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the practice of optimising your content so it can be easily found and ranked by search engines like Google. For recipe creators, this means making your recipes more discoverable to people searching for similar dishes online.
Why is SEO Important?
Every recipe on Chefadora is searchable through Google. Good SEO practices help your recipes appear higher in search results, increasing visibility and attracting more traffic to your recipes. This not only helps more people discover your delicious dishes but also contributes to higher engagement and potential monetisation.
How to Optimise Your Recipes for SEO
Identify Relevant Keywords
Think about what terms people might use when searching for your recipe. For example, instead of just “pasta,” consider “easy pasta recipe,” “vegetarian pasta,” or “gluten-free pasta.”
Use keyword research tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or Semrush to find popular search terms related to your recipe.
Incorporate Keywords Naturally:
Title: Include your main keyword in the recipe title. For example, “Easy Vegetarian Pasta Recipe.”
Description: Use keywords in the description, ensuring it flows naturally. Describe the recipe and include variations or unique aspects.
Ingredients and Method: Naturally incorporate keywords in the ingredients list and method. For example, “Add the gluten-free pasta to the boiling water.”
Subheadings: Use keywords in subheadings to break down sections, making it easier for search engines to understand the content.
