How to Add Blogger Sitemap to Google Search Console

If you are running a Blogger website, adding your sitemap to Google Search Console is essential for better indexing and visibility on Google. A sitemap helps Google understand your blog structure and index your pages efficiently. In this guide, you will learn how to submit your Blogger sitemap to Google Search Console easily.

A step-by-step guide to adding a Blogger sitemap for better Google indexing.

Step 1: Sign in to Google Search Console

1. Go to Google Search Console.
2. Sign in with your Google account that is associated with your Blogger website.
3. If you haven’t added your website, click on "Add Property" and enter your Blogger blog URL (e.g., https://yourblog.blogspot.com/).
4. Click "Continue" and verify ownership by following the instructions.

Step 2: Open the Sitemaps Section

1. Once inside Google Search Console, select your blog from the property list.
2. In the left menu, click on "Sitemaps".

Step 3: Submit Your Blogger Sitemap

Blogger automatically generates sitemaps for your blog. You need to submit the correct sitemap URLs.

For Standard Blogger Blogs:

Enter the following sitemap URL in the "Add a new sitemap" box:

/sitemap.xml

Then, click "Submit".

For Blogs with More Posts (Pagination Required):

If your blog has many posts, Google may not index all of them with a single sitemap. Submit these additional sitemaps one by one:

/sitemap.xml?page=1
/sitemap.xml?page=2
/sitemap.xml?page=3

Submit more pages as needed, depending on the size of your blog.

Step 4: Check Sitemap Submission Status

1. After submitting, Google will process your sitemap.
2. Refresh the page to see the status. If you see "Success", your sitemap has been added successfully.
3. If there is an error, check the error message and fix any issues.

Step 5: Wait for Google to Index Your Blog

• Google will take some time to crawl and index your blog posts.
• You can check the Coverage section in Google Search Console to monitor indexed pages.
• Keep publishing quality content to improve rankings.
