Natalie Dawson – SEO & Tech Specialist

Making Recipes Discoverable

Some people cook in the kitchen. I cook behind the screen.

I’ve always loved the invisible architecture of the internet—how one keyword can open a door, or how a well-structured page can reach thousands of readers. My journey began in San Francisco’s tech scene, but it was food that gave my work meaning. When I helped optimize a friend’s recipe blog, I saw how digital tools could transform a passion into a community.

Now, at Dishes & Recipes, my mission is simple: make sure every recipe we publish is not only delicious but also discoverable, accessible, and easy to enjoy.

Why I Specialize in SEO & Digital Strategy

The best recipe in the world won’t help anyone if it’s hidden on page 10 of Google.

That’s why I focus on the digital backbone of our site: search engine optimization, site structure, schema markup, and accessibility. It’s the quiet work that ensures our recipes reach busy moms looking for quick dinners, students searching for budget meals, and home bakers craving something sweet.

I believe technology should make food easier to find—and easier to love.
