6 AI prompts for identifying filler in existing recipes

Hi Siftrs,

As you know, Google is pushing for less ‘filler’ in recipe content.

But what actually counts as filler? The answer isn’t always clear — it’s a bit subjective, which makes it tough to pinpoint.

And when you’ve poured time into research, testing, writing, and fine-tuning, every part of a recipe post can feel essential — so the idea of cutting entire sections can feel downright painful. 💔

But in 2025, de-optimizing and trimming down recipe content has become an essential SEO task. The truth is, food bloggers are often (and understandably!) too close to their own work to recognize filler when they see it.

That’s where AI can step in, offering the objective perspective (and tough love) needed to spot filler, tighten up text, and cut redundancy.

In today’s newsletter, we’re sharing 6 AI prompts designed to help you better spot and trim filler in existing recipes.

(We heard from so many of you about how much you enjoyed Siftr’s last AI prompts issue on sourcing semantic keywords for a recipe — we’re happy to bring you another edition in this popular format!)
