Introduction

If you’ve started a Blogger blog, one of the most important things is to ensure your posts appear in Google search results. This means your blog has been indexed by Google. But how do you check if Google has indexed your blog?

Guide to checking and fixing Google indexing issues for Blogger blogs.

In this detailed guide, you'll learn:

✅ What indexing means and why it’s important
✅ How to check if Google has indexed your Blogger blog
✅ Steps to index your blog faster
✅ Common reasons why your blog isn’t indexed and how to fix them

1. What Does It Mean for a Blog to Be Indexed?

Google indexing means that Google’s search engine has discovered your blog and stored its pages in its database. Once indexed, your blog can appear in Google Search Results when people search for relevant keywords.

Example:

If you have a Blogger blog about fitness and someone searches for “best home workouts,” your blog post may appear in Google results—but only if it’s indexed!

📌 Important:

A new blog may take time to be indexed.
Google doesn’t index every page—some low-quality or restricted pages might be ignored.

2. How to Check If Your Blogger Blog Is Indexed on Google

Method 1: Using Google Search (Site Search Operator)

This is the fastest and easiest way to check if Google has indexed your blog.

🔹 Step 1: Open Google.com
🔹 Step 2: In the search bar, type:

site:yourblog.blogspot.com

(Replace yourblog.blogspot.com with your actual blog URL.)

🔹 Step 3: Press Enter

✅ Example:

If your blog URL is fitnessblogger.blogspot.com, you would type:

site:fitnessblogger.blogspot.com

📌 Results Interpretation:

👉 If indexed: You will see a list of pages from your blog in Google Search Results.
👉 If not indexed: Google will show “Your search did not match any documents.” This means Google hasn’t indexed your blog yet.

Method 2: Using Google Search Console

Google Search Console (GSC) is a free tool from Google that tracks your site’s indexing status.

🔹 Step 1: Go to Google Search Console
🔹 Step 2: Click Start Now and log in with your Google account.
🔹 Step 3: Add your blog as a property (if you haven’t already).
🔹 Step 4: In the top search bar, enter your blog URL.
🔹 Step 5: Click Enter

✅ Results Interpretation:

If indexed: You’ll see a message saying, “URL is on Google” ✅
If NOT indexed: You’ll see, “URL is not on Google” ❌

Method 3: Using URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console

This method helps check the indexing status of a specific blog post rather than the whole blog.

🔹 Step 1: Open Google Search Console
🔹 Step 2: Click on URL Inspection from the left menu
🔹 Step 3: Paste a specific blog post URL
🔹 Step 4: Press Enter

✅ Example:

If your blog post URL is:

https://fitnessblogger.blogspot.com/2024/03/best-home-workouts.html

Paste this into the URL Inspection tool to see if it’s indexed.

📌 Results Interpretation:

“URL is on Google” ✅ – Your blog post is indexed.
“URL is not on Google” ❌ – The post isn’t indexed yet.

3. How to Get Your Blogger Blog Indexed Faster

A. Submit Your Blog to Google Search Console

Open Google Search Console
Click Sitemaps on the left menu
Enter your blog’s sitemap URL:

https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

(Replace yourblog.blogspot.com with your actual blog URL.)

Click Submit ✅

B. Request Indexing for a Specific Blog Post

Use URL Inspection Tool in Search Console
Click Request Indexing
Google will crawl and index your blog post faster 🚀

C. Ensure Your Blog is Set to “Public”

Your blog won’t be indexed if it’s private.

✅ How to Check:

Open Blogger Dashboard
Go to Settings
Scroll to Privacy
Make sure “Visible to search engines” is turned ON ✅
