As the online recipe niche shifts and evolves and becomes increasingly competitive, recipe publishers are always searching for that elusive SEO edge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using structured data\u2014and ItemList schema<\/a> specifically\u2014is a great way to enhance your site’s visibility in the search results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Tasty Roundups<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the newest paid WordPress plugin from the team behind Tasty Recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post we look at the Tasty Roundups plugin, its SEO benefits, share examples of it on The Toasted Pine Nut food blog<\/a>, and explain the tool\u2019s advantages if you already use Tasty Recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal? To help you determine if Tasty Roundups is the right fit for your food blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro tip! <\/strong>Yes, Tasty Roundups can be used for non-food items. The plugin simply adds Carousel structured data to a post. Carousel structured data must be used with one of the following supported content types in order for it to display as a rich result that people can swipe through on mobile devices: recipe<\/a>, course<\/a>, movie<\/a>, restaurant<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, what is ItemList schema?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The definition of ItemList schema<\/a> on Schema.org is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A list of items of any sort\u2014for example, Top 10 Movies About Weathermen, or Top 100 Party Songs. Not to be confused with HTML lists, which are often used only for formatting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ItemList schema allows a recipe roundup post and\/or category archives to display as a carousel in the mobile search results. Searchers can swipe through up to 10 cards in a carousel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
