3 Things To Do With Your Recipe Index


Listen Later

In this episode:

When was the last time you actually looked at your recipe index page? If you're like most food bloggers, it's probably been a while – and there's a good chance it's not doing what you think it should be doing.

Your recipe index might be one of the most misunderstood pages on your entire website. Many food bloggers treat it like a traditional recipe box, trying to catalog every single recipe they've ever created. But here's the thing: that approach is actually working against you, both for your readers and for Google.

If your recipe index feels overwhelming, confusing, or just plain ineffective, you're not alone. Today we're going to break down exactly what your recipe index should be doing and give you three simple changes that will make this page work harder for your blog.

 

Key Points in this episode:

  • The truth about recipe indexes (it's not what you think!)
  • Focus on categories, not individual recipes
  • Make it easy for users to actually find what they want
  • Putting it all together: Your Recipe Index Action Plan
  • The Bottom Line: Simple wins
