Recipe snippets images missing on Google

  • Hi team,

    My food blog that has been loosing visualizations and clicks during the last year or so. Something I have realized is that when searching on Google, none of the featured images is shown (when they were in the past), which has reduced dramatically the CTR.

    When checking the structured data all seems to be okey, so the rich snipped should be working fine. I am not understanding if the loose of images is due to a technical error or some sort of penalization.

    Example: Searching this recipe?https://thecookinglab.es/receta-brownie-con-frambuesas/?, there’s no image in the rich result, though I have an image in the Yoast SEO structured data output –?https://pasteboard.co/4SNrHdQfby9q.png?and Schema MarkUp Testing Tool.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Jokin,

    I’m not seeing any issues with the recipe metadata either. Are you seeing any problems in Google Search Console? Are the posts recognised as recipes correctly there?

    It could just be a Google thing. You can provide all the correct metadata, but they still decide what to show.

    Kind regards,
    Brecht

    Hi Brecht,

    No, not seeing any issue in Google Search Console either. The pages are recognized as recipes, and the metadata is in there, but Google has removed the pictures from the search… I was just wondering if it could be a technical SEO issue of image quality, size… or just Google deciding to remove the images.

    Thanks for the fast reply!
