How I Boosted My Clicks by Fixing Meta Titles and Descriptions in Blogger

Ever wondered why some blog posts show up on Google with clean, catchy titles… and yours look like a mess?

Yeah, same here.

When I first started blogging, my titles were either too long, too boring, or just didn’t show up right on Google. But once I learned how to write proper meta titles and descriptions, everything changed.

🎯 What Are Meta Titles & Descriptions?

  • Meta Title = The clickable blue link you see on Google
  • Meta Description = The short summary below it

If you don’t write them, Google will guess — and trust me, it usually gets it wrong.

🔧 How to Add Meta Titles & Descriptions in Blogger

Step 1: Turn on Search Description in Blogger

  1. Go to your Blogger dashboard
  2. Click Settings → scroll to Meta tags
  3. Enable “Search description” and write a short description for your blog

Step 2: Add Search Description for Each Post

  1. When writing or editing a post, look at the right sidebar
  2. Click “Search Description”
  3. Write a human-friendly summary in 150–160 characters

That description becomes what people see on Google. It's like your blog post’s elevator pitch.

✅ Best Practices for Meta Titles

  • Keep it under 60 characters
  • Include the main keyword naturally
  • Make it sound like something you’d actually click
  • Use numbers, questions, or power words when possible

For example, instead of:

“My Thoughts on Blogger SEO”

Try:

“5 Simple Blogger SEO Fixes That Actually Work”

✅ Best Practices for Meta Descriptions

  • Limit to ~155 characters
  • Use active voice and give people a reason to click
  • End with curiosity: “Learn how…” / “Here’s why…”

Example:

“Wondering why your Blogger site isn't ranking? Here are 5 quick SEO fixes I used to get more traffic in 7 days.”

📈 What Happened After I Fixed Mine?

Within 10 days, I noticed:

  • 👁️ Higher click-through rate in Search Console
  • 📊 More impressions turning into visits
  • 🧠 Fewer bounce-backs because people knew what to expect

It wasn’t magic — just better communication.

🙌 Final Thoughts

Your title and description are the first impression your blog makes on Google. If you don’t control it, Google will guess… and that guess might cost you c

Why Blogger Creates Duplicate Pages (And How to Fix It for Better SEO) Posted on: June 10, 2025 When I first started blogging, I assumed each of my posts had one clean URL and that was it. Wrong. Blogger automatically generates extra versions of your content — label pages, archive pages, paginated lists — and they can cause big SEO problems if not handled properly. 🔁 What Are Duplicate Pages in Blogger? They’re not exactly duplicates like you copy-pasted a post twice, but: /search/label/YourLabel – groups posts by label /search?updated-max=... – paginated post listings /2024_05_01_archive.html – monthly archive pages Each of these might repeat chunks of your original post, creating near-identical content across multiple URLs. 😬 Why It’s a Problem ❌ Confuses Google on which version to rank 📉 Dilutes your content’s SEO strength 🌀 Wastes crawl budget on thin or repeated pages And when I checked my blog using the Siteliner duplicate cont...
