How To Set Up Recipe Carousel Schema In Schema Package
Recipe Carousel Schema helps search engines understand a group of related recipes displayed on a single page and makes them eligible for rich, swipeable carousel results in search.
With Schema Package, you can configure Recipe Carousel Schema visually.
This guide explains what Recipe Carousel Schema is, when to use it, and how to set it up step by step using Schema Package.
What Is Recipe Carousel Schema?
Carousel Schema is a structured data format that allows multiple items to be grouped and presented together in search results.
Recipe Carousel Schema is a structured data implementation based on ItemList that groups multiple Recipe entities together.
Each recipe in the carousel contains its own Recipe schema properties, such as:
- Recipe name
- Recipe URL
- Image of the dish
- Description
- Ingredients
- Cooking time
- Recipe rating (if available)
Search engines can use this structured relationship to better understand and potentially display your recipes as a carousel in search results.
When Should You Use Recipe Carousel Schema?
You should use Recipe Carousel Schema when:
- A page displays multiple related recipes
- Recipes belong to the same category, cuisine, or meal type
- You want search engines to understand the relationship between recipes
- You want improved eligibility for rich search features
⚠️ Important: All recipes included in the carousel must be visible on the page and genuinely related.
