How to Submit a Blogger Website to Google Search Console

Google Search Console is a free tool that shows how Google sees your site: which pages are indexed, which have problems and how people find you. This guide covers the basic setup for a Blogger blog.

Choose the right property type

Search Console offers two property types:

Domain property. Covers every subdomain and protocol of a domain you own, such as a custom domain connected to your blog. Verification uses a DNS record at your domain registrar.
URL-prefix property. Covers one exact address, such as your blogspot.com blog address. Several verification methods are available, including an HTML tag.

If your blog uses a custom domain, a Domain property is usually the more complete choice. If it stays on a Blogger address, use URL-prefix.

Step 1: Add and verify the property

Sign in to Search Console, add your property and follow the verification prompt. For a URL-prefix property with the HTML tag method, you add a meta tag to your theme’s head section. Edit the theme carefully and keep a backup before you do.

Step 2: Submit your sitemap

Blogger normally generates a sitemap for your blog at /sitemap.xml on your blog address. In Search Console, open Sitemaps, enter sitemap.xml and submit. Check that the status shows a successful read. If you have static pages, Blogger may also provide a separate pages sitemap.

Step 3: Inspect important URLs

Use URL inspection on your homepage and a recent post. It shows whether the page is indexed and lets you request indexing for a new or changed page. Requesting indexing does not force Google to index it.

Step 4: Check your robots settings

In Blogger settings, review the crawlers and indexing options. Avoid enabling a custom robots rule unless you understand it, since a wrong rule can block your pages from being crawled.

Step 5: Monitor over time

Review these reports regularly:

Pages, for indexing status and reasons pages are not indexed.
Performance, for queries and clicks.
Core Web Vitals and Page experience, for speed issues on real visits.

Expectations

New sites can take days or weeks to appear, and indexing is never guaranteed. Publish useful pages, link them sensibly, and fix the problems Search Console reports.
