If you have a Blogger blog, you can easily verify your blog in Google Search Console with just a few clicks. The Google Webmasters has made a video showing how you can do that as part of their new Google Search Console training series.
Google Search Console is a useful tool to monitor and manage how your website or blog appears in the Google Search results.
- View and fix indexing problems
- Request re-indexing of new or updated content.
- View Google Search traffic data for your site, including how often your site appears in Google Search results, which Google search queries show your site, and how often searchers click your site in the Search results.
- Receive alerts when there are indexing, spam, or other issues on your site.
- See which sites link to your site.
- AdSense recommends using Search Console tools to improve your site visibility and (hopefully) increase traffic to your site.
Verify your Blogger Blog in Google Search Console
New Blogger blogs should be added and verified automatically in your
Search Console account. However, if your blog isn't automatically added,
you can easily verify your Blogger blog in Search Console.
If you are using Google Sites, Google Domains, or have any other sort of site, the Google Webmasters help center has instructions for Search Console verification.
Here's how to verify your Blogger blog in Search Console:
1. Sign in to Google Search Console (https://search.google.com/search-console) with the same Google account email you use to sign in to Blogger.
2. At top left click the current Search Property.
If your Blogger blog is already verified and on the list, just click the blog name to see the data. You shouldn't need to do anything else. If your blog is not listed there, go on to step 3.
3. Click + Add Property
4. Select URL Prefix, enter your blog URL, and click Continue
5. Verification should be immediate, and you should see an Auto Verification confirmation
Search Console starts collecting data as soon as your blog is verified.
Note that "older Blogger blogs" are not automatically verified, but can be verified using the HTML tag method. While Google Webmasters does not define an "older blog", I would guess it's blogs using the very old "Classic" theme.
