Food bloggers, apply Google's new feature 'badges' to get more traffic

You can add new markup to your site or blog so that they are better discovered on Google visual search


With the latest offer, Google has given a facility to showcase recipes on Google app on Android and mobile web by using a 'badge' feature. The badge on the image of your recipe prompts the searcher to visit your blog. That's it!

What it means is (I'm using Google's own example) that if someone does an image search for cupcakes on Google on his mobile phone, he will get a badge on the bottom left corner of thumbnails which tells about the image's category and options available from there. So, if one sees a type of cupcake with a badge 'recipe' on it and clicks on it, he will be taken to the recipe to make that cake. This added good user experience is likely to drive traffic to the website or blog from which the image is sourced.

As a blogger or website owner, what you have to do is to apply recipe markup to your pages so that your  images get the badge and direct visitors to your site.

 Btw, Bing has this feature for desktop searches since 2015.

Submit guest post to Top Blogs

Image
Updated: January 2022 After rejecting most guest posts only because the creators submit posts without doing homework, we are still open to accepting guest posts. However, please note that we are constrained to decline or reject guest posts if we find them to be of the following nature: routine offer that seems to have been sent to dozens of others generic post that looks copy-pasted or with no deep knowledge or experience of the subject irrelevant post post with inappropriate content post forcing us to accept links that are not too relevant and are obviously commercial We had to remove two posts that we had put on Top Blogs after careful editing and value addition: one was forcing us to insert certain links, and the other had published a similar post on another website (we discovered that later). After that, we have become even more circumspect when we receive stock queries for guest posting.  The present post will help in clarifying what we expect on guest posts. Why a guest post...
