Steps

  1. Add Recipe JSON-LD with the required properties: name, image, and author
  2. Include recommended properties — datePublished, description, prepTime/cookTime/totalTime as ISO 8601 durations, recipeYield, recipeIngredient, recipeInstructions, and nutrition
  3. Structure recipeInstructions as a list of HowToStep entries rather than one text blob for correct step rendering
  4. Validate the markup with the Rich Results Test and resolve all flagged critical errors before publishing
  5. Follow Google's general structured-data policies (markup must reflect visible on-page content), since policy violations can suppress the rich result independent of syntax validity
