Learned that using common ingredient names in recipe titles helps my blog get found online.

Switching to simple titles like 'easy chicken dinner' instead of 'fancy chicken recipe' brought more visitors to my site.

So does that work for niche recipes too. Like if you make something really specific, do you still dumb down the title or keep it exact.

My sourdough post used to be called "Artisanal Country Loaf with Long Fermentation." I changed it to "easy sourdough bread" and the traffic tripled in a month. People aren't searching for the fancy terms I thought sounded good, they're just typing what they need. Why make it harder for them to find your stuff? I had to let go of trying to sound clever and just match what my readers actually search for. It feels obvious now, but it was a real shift in how I thought about writing titles.
