How to Get Featured in Taste of Home
Taste of Home draws about 11 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 85, and publishes in about a week.
Reader-sourced, which changes the register
Taste of Home has published since 1993 on an unusual premise: its recipes come from readers rather than from test kitchens alone. About 11 million monthly visits at a domain rating of 85, which makes it one of the largest food audiences in our catalogue.
That origin shapes the register. It is domestic, practical and trusted rather than aspirational, and the reader is cooking on a weeknight rather than planning a dinner party. A food brand that fits that reality does well; one positioned as gourmet does not.
The routes in
Food products and ingredients with everyday use.
Recipes and cooking guidance.
Kitchen equipment and tools.
Seasonal and holiday food content, heavily covered.
A placed feature, written and approved by you before it runs. That is what we handle, and it is a different product from an editor there choosing to write about you.
How long it takes
About a week. About average. Plan for the top of the range rather than the bottom, and remember your own approval sits inside the window rather than after it.
Links and indexing
Nofollow. No ranking authority passes, which is normal at a domain rating of 85. Buy it for the audience and the name, not for your rankings.
It indexes and AI engines read it, so the piece works as a citation when someone asks an assistant about you, not only as a link.
What gets turned down
Gourmet or chef-led positioning, which does not match the reader.
Products that are hard to find in an ordinary supermarket.
Health claims about food that cannot be supported.
Who it suits
Food and ingredient brands with mainstream distribution. Kitchen equipment makers. Meal and grocery services. Food businesses whose customer cooks at home regularly.
The short version
11 million monthly visits, domain rating 85, nofollow, about a week. One of the largest food audiences available, and a domestic rather than aspirational one.
