Introduction
Hello friends! Welcome back to another helpful blog article. In today's post, I will walk you through the complete SEO setup in Blogger for 2025. If you're just starting a blog or want to rank higher on Google, this article is a must-read.
In my previous article, I shared how to customize Blogger templates and layout. Now, it's time to focus on the SEO settings that will help your blog get indexed and rank on search engines.
Why Blogger SEO Settings Are Important
Setting up SEO correctly helps:
Improve your blog's visibility
Get indexed by Google faster
Rank on search results for your keywords
Let’s dive into each SEO setting step by step.
Step 1: Access Blogger Settings
- Log in to your Blogger Dashboard.
- Choose your blog.
- Click on the "Settings" tab from the left menu.
Step 2: Set Blog Title and Description
Under Basic Settings:
- Set your Blog Title that reflects your niche (e.g., Tech News, Finance Tips).
- Add a Blog Description using keywords relevant to your content.
Example:
Title: TechBipu – Best Blogger SEO Tips
Description: Learn SEO for Blogger, blog customization, Google ranking, and traffic growth tips.(alert-passed)
Save the changes.
Step 3: Choose the Blog Language
Select your primary language (English, Hindi, Bengali, etc.) depending on the content you publish. This helps search engines understand your content better.
Step 4: Enable Privacy Settings
Make sure these options are enabled:
- "Visible to search engines"
- "Allow search engines to index your blog"
Step 5: Add a Favicon (Optional But Recommended)
A favicon is the small icon that appears next to your blog title on browser tabs.
- Scroll to the Favicon section.
- Upload a 100x100 pixel .ICO or .PNG image.
This builds brand identity.
Step 6: Enable HTTPS and Redirect
- Ensure HTTPS is enabled.
- Enable HTTPS Redirect to force secure version loading.
This is essential for security and SEO.
Step 7: Enable Meta Tags and Search Description
- Go to Meta Tags section.
- Enable Search Description.
- Write a short, keyword-rich description (150 characters max).
Example:
Get latest Blogger SEO tips, template settings, traffic growth tricks & ranking strategies.(alert-passed)
Step 8: Enable Custom robots.txt
- Scroll to Crawlers and Indexing.
- Enable Custom robots.txt.
- Paste the following code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /
Sitemap: https://yourblogname.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
Note: Replace yourblogname
with your actual blog address.
Step 9: Enable Custom robots header tags
Set the following:
- Homepage Tags: all, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1
- Archive and Search Pages Tags: noindex, noarchive
- Post and Page Tags: all
This allows only blog posts to be indexed and avoids duplicate content.
Step 10: Connect with Google Search Console
- Go to Google Search Console.
- Click on Add Property.
- Choose URL Prefix method and enter your blog URL (e.g., https://yourblogname.blogspot.com).
- Verify via HTML tag or Google Analytics.
Once verified, your blog is officially linked with Google for indexing and ranking.
Step 11: Submit Sitemap
- In Search Console, go to Sitemaps.
- Submit:
sitemap.xml
- Click Submit.
Google will now regularly crawl and index your content.
Step 12: Disable Blogger Draft (Optional)
Go to the Blogger Settings URL (https://draft.blogger.com).
- Switch back to the normal version.
- Using Draft version can sometimes lead to display issues.
