FAQs about Shoppable Recipes

Absolutely you can add the recipe schema to your website by yourself - the issue is that adding this structured data requires editing your theme code; which most store owners are not too keen on doing. You could get a developer to make a custom implementation, but that will still likely require adding the recipe data to an external part of your site (eg. in metafields) alongside writing your recipe in your blog post which means double the writing/effort just to generate the structured data.

Recipe Kit essentially does this all for you, and also adds a ton of other great features like printable recipe cards (that look fantastic), add to cart buttons, analytics, and more.

Does adding structured data guarantee that my recipe will show in recipe search results?

Unfortunately Google doesn't guarantee anything in regards to whether or not they will show your recipe as a rich recipe snippet or not. Their only claim towards this is that filling out the structured data gives your recipe the opportunity to be shown in rich recipe results; without this recipe structured data, there is no chance for your recipe to show in recipe carousels, etc. in Google search results.

How does structured data affect recipe search result rankings?

While Google doesn't state that rankings are changed with structured data, if your recipe shows up in the recipes carousel at the top of the search results page, it will surely come with higher page visits. In general, recipes with these rich results can increase the click-through rate (CTR) and overall organic traffic to the website,
especially on mobile where the recipe carousel is often the most
prominent result above the regular blue links.

How do I test my recipes for structured data?

Once you implement recipe structured data, ensuring you test it for missing properties is very important. Missing a required field like the recipe image means Google will simply not show your recipe in a rich result, no matter what.

Google provides a great, free, rich result testing tool here: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results

Recipe Kit also comes with a free testing tool here, which comes with a bunch of cool features that Google's doesn't have: https://getrecipekit.com/pages/recipe-schema-testing-tool

Make sure you sign up for Google's Search Console tools, as well, as they will send you email updates if your recipes are missing properties or have an error somewhere.
