Adding your Blogger blog to Google Search Console is a crucial step in monitoring and improving its performance in Google's search results. To submit your Blogger blog to Google Search Console, follow these steps:
Sign in to Google Search Console: Go to the Google Search Console website (https://search.google.com/search-console) and sign in with your Google account. If you don't have a Google account, you will need to create one.
Add Property (Your Blog URL): After signing in, click on the "Add Property" button on the top left corner of the Search Console dashboard.
Enter your Blog URL: In the popup window, enter the full URL of your Blogger blog (e.g., https://www.yourblogname.blogspot.com) and click the "Continue" button.
Verify Ownership: There are several methods to verify ownership of your Blogger blog. The recommended method for Blogger is to use the "HTML tag" option.
a. Choose the "HTML tag" verification method. b. Copy the provided meta tag (a line of code) provided by Google.
Add Meta Tag to Blogger: Now, go to your Blogger dashboard and sign in to your blog.
a. Click on "Settings" from the left menu. b. Under "Basic," find the "Google Search Console" section. c. Paste the copied meta tag into the "Google Search Console" box. d. Click the "Save changes" button.
Verify Your Blog: Go back to the Google Search Console tab and click the "Verify" button. Google will check if the meta tag is present on your blog, and if found, it will verify the ownership.
Congratulations! Your Blogger blog is now added to Google Search Console. You can start exploring the performance data, search queries, indexing status, and more from the Search Console dashboard.
Note: It may take some time for Google to collect and display data for your blog after the verification process.
Once your Blogger blog is added to Google Search Console, you can use it to analyze your blog's performance in search results, identify issues, and improve its visibility on Google. Regularly check the Search Console for insights and take actions to optimize your blog for better search rankings.
