Hi Siftrs,

Following Siftr’s mega-popular newsletter on smart topic taxonomy for food blogs, it only makes sense that today’s Siftr issue is all about breadcrumbs (the SEO kind 😉).

How to implement them, how to maximize their value for SEO, and more!

Surprisingly, a lot of food bloggers don’t realize that outputting breadcrumb structured data (BreadcrumbList) is a big, juicy SEO advantage that’s closely tied to site structure and topic taxonomy.

Also, in this issue we share an example of a food blog with correctly optimized breadcrumbs. Because real-life examples are helpful, right?

What you’ll learn in this issue:

  • The big SEO benefits of breadcrumbs for a food blog

  • How to output breadcrumb structured data properly

  • How various themes handle displaying breadcrumbs

  • How to optimize breadcrumbs for better SEO
