📢 Why Isn’t Google Indexing Your Blogger Posts?

If you’ve ever hit Publish on a new Blogger post and expected it to appear in Google search results immediately… only to find that nothing happens, you’re not alone.

Google doesn’t automatically know that you’ve published new content. You have to tell Google to index your site—and that’s exactly what we’re going to do today!

In this guide, you’ll learn:

✅ How to create a dynamic Blogger sitemap 📌
✅ How to notify Google and other search engines automatically 🚀
✅ How to use Google’s Instant Indexing API for even faster results ⚡
✅ Pro tips to ensure every new post gets indexed quickly 🎯

Let’s supercharge your Blogger SEO and make sure every article gets the visibility it deserves!

🗺️ Step 1: Create a Dynamic Blogger Sitemap

A sitemap helps Google discover your latest posts as soon as they are published. While Blogger automatically generates an RSS feed, we can use this to create a better sitemap.

🔗 Your Blogger Sitemap URL

Replace yourblog.blogspot.com with your actual blog URL:

https://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated

For up to 500 posts:

https://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?max-results=500

📌 Submit Your Sitemap to Google Search Console

Go to Google Search Console 🛠️
Select your Blogger site from the list
Click on “Sitemaps” in the left menu
Enter your sitemap URL (feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated)
Click “Submit” ✅

Now, Google will check your sitemap regularly to find new content!

🔔 Step 2: Automatically Notify Google & Other Search Engines

Even with a sitemap, Google doesn’t instantly index your posts. To speed things up, we’ll use a ping script that automatically notifies search engines every time you post.

💡 How Does This Work?

📌 Every time someone visits your blog, this script sends a “ping” to Google, Bing, and other search engines.

📌 Search engines get notified and index your latest posts faster.

🛠️ Add the Ping Script to Blogger

Go to Blogger Dashboard → Click Theme 🎨
Click “Edit HTML” 📄
Find </body> and paste this script above it:

📜 Click to view the Ping Script

<script>
  function pingSearchEngines() {
    var blogUrl = "https://yourblog.blogspot.com";
    var sitemapUrl = blogUrl + "/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated";
    
    var pingUrls = [
      "https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=" + encodeURIComponent(sitemapUrl),
      "https://www.bing.com/ping?sitemap=" + encodeURIComponent(sitemapUrl),
      "https://rpc.pingomatic.com/",
      "https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=" + encodeURIComponent(sitemapUrl)
    ];

    pingUrls.forEach(function(url) {
      fetch(url, { mode: 'no-cors' })
        .then(() => console.log("Ping sent to " + url))
        .catch(error => console.log("Ping failed for " + url, error));
    });
  }

  // Run script on every page load
  window.onload = pingSearchEngines;
</script>

⚠ Important Notes

✔ This script runs every time someone visits your blog
✔ Do NOT refresh your page excessively (Google may block repeated pings)

⚡ Step 3: Use Google’s Instant Indexing API

For even faster indexing, we can use Google’s Indexing API.

🚀 Why Use This API?

✔ Google indexes your content within minutes
✔ Your posts appear faster in search results
✔ Better SEO rankings because fresh content is prioritized

🛠️ Setting Up the Indexing API

Go to Google Cloud Console ☁️
Create a new project
Enable “Indexing API” 🔧
Generate a Service Account Key 🔑
Add your Blogger site to Google Search Console

Once you have your API key, use this script to instantly notify Google:

⚙️ Click to view the Python Indexing Script

import requests
import json

API_KEY = "YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY"
SITE_URL = "https://yourblog.blogspot.com"

def request_indexing(url):
    endpoint = "https://indexing.googleapis.com/v3/urlNotifications:publish"
    headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": "Bearer " + API_KEY
    }
    data = {
        "url": url,
        "type": "URL_UPDATED"
    }
    response = requests.post(endpoint, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
    print(response.json())

# Example Usage
request_indexing("https://yourblog.blogspot.com/your-new-post-url")

✅ How to Use This Script?

Replace YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY with your actual API key
Replace your-new-post-url with the URL of your latest post
Run the script (Google will instantly index your post!)
