Grocers List vs. LinkDM

If you’re a recipe developer using LinkDM, you’ve probably found yourself wishing it just understood your workflow. That it offered better support for recipes, easier setup, and more effective email capture.

Grocers List was built to solve exactly that. It’s a marketing platform designed from the ground up for creators who cook, write, and share recipes.

“Grocers List helped me grow my email list by 100,000 subscribers in a year when I lost 60% of my Google traffic.”

Before Grocers List, building my email list from Instagram felt complicated and slow. Now it’s seamless. I use “comment for recipe” and “save to email” to turn followers into subscribers automatically, without sending them to landing pages or waiting for manual replies.

In 2024 alone, I added over 100,000 new subscribers and now see 250,000+ monthly pageviews from email alone. Grocers List gave me peace of mind, consistent traffic, and more time to focus on creating.
