> Google generates a little blurb, but it has to pull that information from somewhere. I'm hoping for Is It Keto to be the source that Google uses for most foods (it currently is if you Google "is propel keto" or "is pure via stevia keto").

This is a good point. I hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks for clarifying.

Yes, but I was just reading an article recently about how those blurbs don’t really translate into traffic for publishers. I wouldn’t count on that

It might depend on the kind of information. If it's something like "What's the capital of this country?" there's a one-word answer. With "Is propel fitness water keto?" There's a simple answer, but you might be interested in more details.

For Is It Keto, those blurbs bring in a lot of traffic. The one for Propel is the most popular page on the site by far.
