This may be old news to some people, but I just noticed today when I was doing a quick search for a fish dish that Google does dynamic search helpers for Recipes!
And sure enough, along with addresses and shopping information, SkyNet has a microformat to make recipe data more digestible (sorry, I couldn’t resist). You can find the Recipe microformat cheat sheet here.
What this really serves as is a great reminder to make sure that your websites are in Google-friendly formats, including microcode. General SEO tactics aside (such as navigation optimization, crawlability audits, and performance / speed enhancements), in today’s highly competitive search-engine-driven world, ensuring Google can not only consume your site but understand it is of penultimate importance.
Go Go Google Gobbler!
