Why SEO is hard here

Recipe sites own the content

Big recipe and food publishers rank for most cooking searches.

Gifting and seasons drive demand

Holiday and gift searches spike for a few weeks each year.

Rules on what you can claim

Health and diet claims on food are regulated, so copy needs care.

A food and drink e-commerce SEO playbook

Food and drink shoppers search for taste, diet, occasion and how to use something. SEO for food brands means pages for those searches, content that gives people a reason to buy, and gift pages ready before the season starts.

Pages for how people choose

Shoppers search 'keto snacks', 'natural wine' or 'coffee gift sets'. A page for each, with a short guide to choosing, lands those searches better than a single shop page.

Recipes and how-tos that sell

Content about using your products, how to brew, what to pair, what to cook, ranks where generic recipes can't and leads straight to the product.

Get ready for gifting early

Gift searches rise weeks before the holidays. Gift pages drafted and published early have time to rank before the peak.

Subscriptions deserve their own page

'Coffee subscription' and 'wine club' are searches in their own right. A page explaining what arrives, how often and how to pause or cancel converts better than a checkout option.

Measuring food and drink SEO

Track revenue by category and season, and repeat orders from customers who first arrived through search.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can a small brand rank for recipes?

Not for 'pancake recipe'. For recipes built around what you sell, like 'how to brew single origin coffee' or 'what to make with chili crisp', yes.

Will drafts make health claims?

No. Drafts describe taste, ingredients and use, and mark anything about diet or health for your team to check.

Do we need a recipe blog?

Only recipes that use your products. A small set of excellent ones does more than a large generic blog.

How do we compete with marketplaces?

Searches for your brand, origin and story should land on your own site. Clear product pages with Product markup help you show up next to, or above, marketplace listings.
