Who is this for?
Home cooks and food creators whose recipes don’t show up in search.
Recipe titles that rank
Dish name first, then what’s special: “Masala Chai Recipe — Dhaba Style in 5 Minutes”. Add the Hindi name if your audience uses it.
Recipe SEO — step by step
- Dish + style + time — in the title.
- Generate SEO — Hinglish or Hindi.
- Short — final dish reveal.
- Playlist — by meal or festival.
Search both ways
Many viewers type “chai kaise banaye” and others “masala tea recipe” — use Hinglish and English tags together.
Shorts of the final dish
A 20-second Short of the finished dish, pointing to the full recipe, brings hungry viewers in.
Example: festival recipes
Before Diwali, a channel posted “Kaju Katli Without Mawa — Easy Diwali Sweet” two weeks early, with Hinglish tags. It was ready when searches peaked.
Mistakes to avoid
- Cute titles without the dish name.
- Only English tags for a Hindi audience.
- Posting festival recipes late.
- No ingredient list in description.
Smart tips
