Want more organic traffic from Google to your Blogger blog? It starts with proper SEO settings.

Even if you’re using a premium template like SpotNews, Fletro, or Median UI, without correct SEO configuration, your blog may not rank well in Google.

In this 2025 guide, you’ll learn how to configure Blogger SEO settings step by step — no coding needed.

Why SEO Settings Matter in Blogger

• ✅ Helps Google discover and index your posts
• ✅ Improves visibility on search engines
• ✅ Increases organic traffic (free traffic!)
• ✅ Helps posts rank for keywords you target

Step-by-Step Blogger SEO Settings (2025 Edition)

1. Enable Custom Robots.txt

1. Go to Settings → Crawlers and indexing
2. Turn on “Enable custom robots.txt”
3. Paste this code:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

Replace YOURBLOGNAME with your actual blog name (or custom domain)

2. Enable Custom Robots Header Tags

Still under Crawlers and Indexing:

• Enable “Custom robots header tags”

• Click Homepage tags and select:

  • all
  • noodp

• Click Archive and Search pages and select:

  • noindex
  • noodp

• Click Post and Page tags and select:

  • all
  • noodp

This prevents duplicate content from being indexed (which Google hates).

3. Enable Meta Description

1. Go to Settings → Meta Tags
2. Turn on “Enable search description”
3. Write a short blog description (max 150 characters).
   Example:
   “AndroidPols shares Blogger tutorials, SEO tips, and templates for beginners in 2025.”

Now when you create new posts, a “Search Description” field will appear — always fill it with keywords!

4. Use SEO-Friendly Post Titles & Permalinks

• Always include your main keyword in the post title.
  Example:
  ❌ My Experience With Blogger
  ✅ How to Install Blogger Templates (2025 Guide)

• Set a Custom Permalink (in post settings before publishing):

Example:
/install-blogger-template-2025.html
Keep it short and relevant!

5. Add Image ALT Text for Image SEO

• When inserting images into your post:
  • Click the image
  • Click the gear icon
  • Add Title text and Alt text
    (e.g., “SpotNews Premium Blogger Template Screenshot”)

Helps your images show up in Google Image Search!

6. Submit Your Blog to Google Search Console

1. Go to Google Search Console
2. Click “Add Property”
3. Enter your blog URL
4. Verify using HTML Tag or Google Analytics
5. Submit your sitemap:

https://YOURBLOG.com/sitemap.xml

This helps Google index your blog faster.

7. Enable HTTPS for Security

Still in Blogger Settings:

• Scroll to HTTPS
• Turn on:
  • HTTPS availability → ON
  • HTTPS redirect → ON

Google gives ranking priority to secure (HTTPS) sites.

8. Use Responsive & SEO-Optimized Templates

Templates like SpotNews, Median UI, Fletro Pro already include:

• ✅ Mobile responsiveness
• ✅ Schema markup
• ✅ Breadcrumb navigation
• ✅ Fast loading scripts

Avoid outdated themes that are not optimized for SEO.

Common Blogger SEO Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Not using custom permalinks
• ❌ Leaving default post titles like “New Post”
• ❌ Using too many keywords (keyword stuffing)
• ❌ Ignoring image alt text
• ❌ Not submitting sitemap

Pro Tips

• Use tools like Ubersuggest or Google Trends to find low competition keywords
• Write long-form posts (700+ words) with proper headings (H2, H3)
• Interlink your posts to reduce bounce rate
• Use labels to categorize content better

By applying these best Blogger SEO settings in 2025, you’re laying a strong foundation for higher rankings, more organic traffic, and better AdSense earnings.

You don’t need to be an expert — just follow this checklist and watch your blog grow.
