Schema & SEO

MisePress can output Recipe schema and fallback SEO/Open Graph meta.

Enable schema

Turn on Enable Schema.org JSON-LD in General settings.

Schema can include:

  • Recipe name.
  • Description.
  • Image.
  • Author/publisher.
  • Prep time.
  • Cook time.
  • Total time.
  • Servings/yield.
  • Ingredients.
  • Instructions.
  • Nutrition.
  • Cuisine/course.
  • Aggregate rating.
  • Reviews where valid.

Fallback SEO/Open Graph meta

Fallback SEO meta is useful when the theme does not already provide recipe-aware Open Graph output. If a dedicated SEO plugin handles this well, test for duplicated tags.

Schema audit

Use Tools → Maintenance & audits → Schema / SEO audit to find recipes missing important schema fields.

Common warnings:

  • Missing image.
  • Missing description.
  • Missing times.
  • Missing yield/servings.
  • Missing ingredients.
  • Missing instructions.
  • Missing nutrition.
  • Missing rating data.

Recipe editor schema preview

The recipe editor can show a schema preview/status panel so editors can fix missing fields before publishing.

Best practices

  • Always add a featured image.
  • Add complete ingredients and instructions.
  • Use valid prep/cook/total times.
  • Add servings.
  • Calculate or manually enter nutrition when Nutrition is active.
  • Do not fake review data.
