If your food blog feels “clunky,” hard to navigate, or overwhelming for readers, this episode is your wake-up call.
In this real-life food blog redesign case study, I sit down with Heather Farmer of Boston Girl Bakes to break down what happened when she restructured her site for user experience, SEO, and ad revenue optimization, and why it completely changed how her blog performs.
Before the redesign, Heather’s site looked beautiful, but readers struggled to find recipes, navigate categories, and stay on the site. The result? Lost traffic, lower engagement, and money left on the table.
After restructuring her categories, navigation, and content organization, everything changed:
Readers could instantly find what they needed
Session duration improved
Content became easier to monetize
And her site became built for scalable ad revenue growth
We also dive into:
Why not all pageviews are equal (and how this impacts RPMs)
The hidden SEO power of category structure and internal linking
How to organize 100+ (or 1,000+) recipes without overwhelming your audience
The connection between user experience and monetization
How to “future-proof” your food blog in the age of AI
If you’ve been focusing only on publishing more content (but not optimizing what you already have), this episode will completely shift how you think about growth.
Because sometimes the fastest way to increase your income isn’t more traffic...it’s a smarter website.
