Recipe Schema in SureRank

This Feature Is Part of Pro Plan

The Recipe Schema in SureRank helps search engines understand your recipes and cooking content. By adding structured data, your recipes can become eligible for rich results in Google Search, showing details like the recipe name, description, ingredients, cooking time, nutrition, and ratings.

This schema is especially useful for:

  • Food blogs and recipe websites
  • Cooking tutorials and videos
  • Restaurants or catering services sharing signature recipes
  • Health and diet websites providing meal plans

Adding a Recipe Schema can increase your recipe’s visibility in search results and attract more users by highlighting key information like preparation time, ingredients, calories, and user ratings directly in Google Search.
