Hi, I’m Hauke.
Since 2010 I’ve been working on various internet projects as a product and marketing manager, which has allowed me to gather eight years (and counting) of SEO knowledge (how time goes by, wow!).
Of course, when we started out with hurrythefoodup.com we focused on search engine optimization (SEO) from day 1.
Food blogging has it’s SEO specifics, but once you figure them out you’re set up to grow your traffic massively.
After four years of food blogging we now get around 14,000 – 16,000 views per day just from Google, and growing! On average we post a new recipe once a week, not much at all. So, this graph shows the results anybody can achieve without too much effort.
Can you do the same without any technical know how? Yes, yes, and yes! There is absolutely no magic behind SEO. Food bloggers who have good Google traffic usually know more and plan more. That’s it.
Why is getting traffic from Google so important?
- There are more than 10 million recipe searches a day on Google. And that was in 2011! Ranking well with your recipes means a lot of traffic to your blog!
- For new bloggers it’s a great way to get traffic without having a big social media audience. And that traffic you can convert to followers!
- Unlike social media, Google is almost passive traffic. You optimize your recipe, publish it and wait until the traffic comes in.
- It’s free traffic that’s much more stable than social media traffic (ever experienced a Facebook or Pinterest traffic drop? We did).
What you’ll learn from the eBook
- How to set up your Food Blog for SEO (no coding necessary!).
- How to find and write recipes that will go to the top of Google’s search results.
- How to boost up the Google ranking once your recipe is published.
Everything is written in an easy to follow language and every step is supported with screenshots to make sure you won’t get lost.
I’ve also added “priority rating” from one to five stars for every tip, so you’ll know what to take care of first to see the best results as quickly as possible.
In a nutshell, this eBook is super actionable and designed to help you get more traffic and more followers.
