Help people find your blogs on search engines

 

This tutorial is intended to provide guidance on helping you make your Blogger blog more easily found by search engines. This is sometimes referred to as "Search Engine Optimization", or SEO.

This post relied on guidance from the official google help article, "Help people find your blogs on search engines".

1. Log into blogger and select the blog you want to make more easily discoverable by search engines.

2. From the left-hand menu, select "Settings".

3. Scroll to find the "Privacy" heading.

4. Verify the slider "Visible to search engines" is turned ON.
    a. To turn on, "grab" the slider with the cursor and move to the right.
 

 

NOTE: The feature is ON when the "slider" is to the right and appears in green.

In addition to ensuring your blog access is turned on, there are other ways to make sure your blog is more likely to be found by search engines:

A) Ensure you use as many key words as possible in:
    i) Titles of pages and posts.
    ii) Labels when adding posts.
B) Ensure all images have Alternative Text (Alt Text) added, since some search engine algorithms are programmed to overlook items failing to provide alternative text.
