Keyword Ideas for Food Creators: RECIPE, MENU, ORDER

Food reels are watched on mute while someone is hungry, so the comment they leave is short: "recipe?", "menu?", "how to order?". Set those as keywords. RECIPE sends the written method as a PDF, MENU sends your current menu with prices, and ORDER sends a checkout or pre-order page. Viralyze handles Hinglish spellings like "recipe bhejo" and "glaze recipe bhejo" in the same automation, so you do not have to guess how people will type it.

Which keyword should a food blogger use versus a home chef?

A blogger who earns from an audience uses RECIPE and GUIDE (a bundle of recipes sold as a digital download). A home chef or cloud kitchen uses MENU and ORDER. Many creators are both: the reel teaches a dish, and the DM offers to deliver it. Viralyze lets you put RECIPE, MENU and ORDER on one reel with three different DMs, so you serve both kinds of viewer.

Keyword list for food accounts

• RECIPE: the full written recipe, sent as a PDF with open tracking.
• INGREDIENTS: a short shopping list.
• MENU: this week's menu with prices and the ordering cutoff.
• ORDER: checkout for a specific item, or a pre-order booking slot.
• GUIDE or EBOOK: a paid recipe collection at 0% platform fee.
• CLASS: a booking page for a baking or cooking workshop.
• TIFFIN: a monthly subscription enquiry, sent as a booking call.

Add the Hinglish and typo variants you see in your comments: "recipe plz", "recipie", "menu bhejo".

How should the RECIPE DM be written?

Lead with the recipe, not a greeting. "Here is the full dal makhani method, with the overnight soak and the smoking step 👇 [PDF]. If you make it, tag me." Because most recipes run past the length of a normal DM, Viralyze turns the text into a downloadable PDF automatically. The public reply can rotate between "Recipe sent 🍲" and "It is in your DM".

Concrete example: a home baker's weekend menu

A home baker in Jaipur posts a reel of a tiramisu cake on Thursday with the caption "Comment MENU for this weekend's list or ORDER to book a slice box". Keywords: MENU, "menu bhejo", ORDER, "order kaise karu". The MENU DM: "This weekend: tiramisu box of 4 ₹520, lemon loaf ₹380, brownies box of 6 ₹300. Orders close Saturday 2 PM. Comment ORDER to book." The ORDER DM links to a Viralyze booking page where the pickup slot is a service ("Saturday 5 to 7 PM pickup") and the items are add-ons, with payment taken upfront by UPI. The automation auto-pauses on Saturday at 2 PM. On Sunday the baker exports the contacts to CSV and messages the people who commented MENU but did not order.

Can I run a cooking class through the same setup?

Yes. A CLASS keyword sends a booking page for your workshop: "Sourdough basics, 3 hours, in person, ₹1,800, 6 seats". Set a date, connect Google Calendar, and the slot disappears when it fills. The same booking page can sit in your link-in-bio page, which shows tap counts per link so you know whether the DM or the bio brought more sign-ups.

Keywords food creators should avoid

Avoid "YUM", "DELICIOUS" and "WOW". Avoid dish names alone, because "making this biryani tonight" would trigger a BIRYANI keyword by accident. Avoid "FOOD". Pick nouns that only appear when someone is asking you for something.

Frequently asked questions

**Can I send a different recipe from each reel without rebuilding the automation?** Set one automation per reel, each with its own RECIPE DM; setup takes about a minute, and you can schedule it to start with your next post.

**Do I need a food licence number in the DM?** That is a legal question for your region rather than a Viralyze feature; the DM is plain text, so you can include whatever details you are required to show.

**Will a 1,200-word recipe fit in a DM?** Yes. Long messages become a downloadable PDF automatically, with open tracking so you can see who read it.
