Siftr was created by Foodie Digital, the team top food bloggers rely on for results-driven SEO. The newsletter launched in September 2024.
From launch day to now, Siftr’s subscriber list hasn’t stopped growing! Subscriptions continue to climb each month, and in December 2025 hit an all-time high. 🎉🎉
As of September 1st, 2025, every Siftr issue includes an audio version—and readers are loving it.
In 2025, Siftr also introduced comments and questions on each issue. Now, instead of back-and-forth emails, anyone can join the conversation directly with Siftr’s SEO editors.
The AltText.ai WordPress plugin (*affiliate link) is the most-loved tool Siftr has recommended to readers so far. The tool auto-generates image alt text for recipe photos and process shots. Subscribers say it’s a total time saver!
1 — Quit keyword chasing: 95.5%
2 — Star power ⭐ (and recipe ratings manipulation): 94.05%
3 — Spam that goes unnoticed on recipe sites: 92.5%
Dozens of Siftr subscribers shared how useful they found our AI prompts series, especially the 5 prompts to source semantic keywords for a recipe newsletter.
One subscriber also put a link spam tip into action and saw their monthly views jump from 9K to 60K. That was a fun email to get!
The examples! Time and again, readers tell us they’re what make the newsletter so useful.That’s no accident. Siftr isn’t about vague SEO theory—it’s about actionable insights.
Showing examples makes those insights real. Traditional SEO often stays high-level, without context or proof. By showing real-world examples, both wins and the tricky challenges food blogs face, you get a clear, honest look at how SEO really works.
Because “sifting” is the process of examining something thoroughly to isolate the most important elements—the Siftr newsletter’s whole purpose.
