Add Recipe Cards to WordPress

Why you should add a recipe card to WordPress

A recipe card is the simplest way to take those cherished recipes and put them on your WordPress blog for your audience.

From the recipe ingredients to the steps to make it, a recipe card makes your recipes easier to follow. It also shows them off in the most gorgeous way. (Take a peek below! 👀)

And the beauty of a WordPress recipe plugin? 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.
  • Recipe Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Tasty Recipe's recipe cards have built in recipe schema (structured data). That's a fancy way of saying they're search engine-friendly.
  • 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.
