Frequently Asked Questions
Should I include nutrition information for all recipes?
While not required, nutrition information significantly improves your recipe's visibility, especially for health-conscious searches. It's particularly important for recipes targeting specific diets or health goals.
How detailed should cooking instructions be?
Instructions should be clear and actionable. Break complex procedures into separate steps, and include temperatures, times, and visual cues ("until golden brown") to help cooks succeed.
Can I use Recipe schema for drinks and cocktails?
Yes! Recipe schema works perfectly for beverages, cocktails, smoothies, and any prepared food or drink. Just adapt the fields appropriately (e.g., use "1 cocktail" for yield).
How do I handle recipe variations?
For significant variations, create separate recipe schemas. For minor substitutions or options, include them in the instructions or description. You can also use the keywords field to capture variations.
