Are you a food blogger or chef with a WordPress site who wants to add recipe cards for your delicious recipes?
It's super easy to add recipe cards in WordPress, and they make your recipes look beautiful and appear in search results.
Not all WP recipe makers are “baked to perfection,” though. So, we’ll show you how to create a recipe template to make your recipes simply stunning.
Let's learn how!
Why you should use a recipe card on your website
A recipe card is the simplest way to take those cherished recipes and put them online for your audience.
From the recipe ingredients to the steps required to make it, a recipe card makes it easy to follow and beautiful at the same time. More than anything, though. It saves you time because you don't have to code anything yourself!
Beyond that, there are a few reasons a recipe card can help you:
- Better for users: It's clear, concise, and easy-to-follow.
- Shareability: People want to share recipes when they're well-organized.
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Recipe cards use structured data, which is a fancy term for saying they're search engine-friendly. That means more people see your recipes!
- Consistency: Your audience will come to recognize the format and look of your recipe cards!
Those are just a few of the benefits for your recipe content! So, if you're ready to boost your recipe game, let's get started.
