How do I set up a new custom meta tag for my blog?

You can set custom schema for all your blog posts in the SEO Settings in Dashboard.

To create custom Schema:

1. Go to SEO Tools in Dashboard.

2. Click SEO Settings.

3. Select the Post page.

4. Click Edit beside Structured data markup.

5. Click + Add New Markup.

6. Name your new markup.

7. Write your markup in JSON-LD format. Use variables to fill the mandatory properties. Mandatory properties for the recipe schema are Name and Image.

8. Click Apply.

Example:

Base for the schema in my example (replace bolds with the variables):

<script type="application/ld+json">
    {
        "@context": "https://schema.org/",
        "@type": "Recipe",
        "name": "Post Title",
        "image": "Post Cover Image",
        "description": "Post Excerpt",
        "author": {
            "@type": "Person",
            "name": "Post Author"
        }
    }
</script>

A reminder: don't forget to disable recipe markup on non recipe posts. In the post composer click SEO->Advanced->Structured data markup->More actions->Exclude from page

I hope this helps!

Is there a way to add those things as meta tags so I can make a schema dynamically like the default blog schema? That's what I was initially going to do. Or possibly try Google tag manager

You have to add it manually for each post. Recipe schema holds dynamic recipe information, such as prep., cooking time, ingredients, which cannot be automatically pulled from the content.

So I have a blank schema markup for Google recipes and put it on the blog post advanced settings. Is this markup going to work dynamically for all of my blog posts? Do I have to manually write in the data for each page? If so, I was wondering if there was a way to make it easier where it picks up meta tags dynamically across each recipe page without me having to manually write the data in the SEO portion

hi!

To show your posts as recipes in Google rich results, you need to add structured data markup schema with recipe information. To add one:

1. Use any external tool to generate recipe schema (ex. https://technicalseo.com/tools/schema-markup-generator/ or other)

2. In Blog post composer open post SEO settings->Advanced->Structured data markup

3. Add new markup and paste the generated schema

4. Publish the post

5. Once this is done, wait for google to re-index your blog

To verify the structure data on your post you can use one of two tools here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data
