⭐ How to Add Your Custom Domain to Google Search Console (Step-by-Step SEO Guide)
A complete beginner-friendly guide to registering your Blogger custom domain in Google Search Console for better indexing, visibility, and SEO performance.
1. Why You Must Add Your Domain to Google Search Console
Google Search Console (GSC) is one of the most essential tools for every blogger.
If you want your posts to appear on Google Search quickly — especially after connecting a custom domain — you must register your domain in GSC.
Here’s what GSC helps you do:
- Ensure your website is indexed by Google
- Submit your sitemap for faster crawling
- Track search performance and click data
- Identify SEO problems (mobile usability, coverage issues, etc.)
- Boost your overall Google visibility
Connecting your custom domain to GSC is the final step after setting up your domain on Google Blogger.
2. Open Google Search Console and Add a New Property
Visit: https://search.google.com/search-console
Click the top-left property selector → Add Property.
This allows you to register your new custom domain.
3. Enter Your Domain (Without https/www)
Choose the Domain option.
Type only your domain name: Do NOT include https:// or www. here.
Click Continue.
4. Domain Ownership Verified Automatically
Because you've already added the correct DNS CNAME record (during Blogger domain setup), Google automatically verifies ownership.
You should see: “Ownership verified automatically”
This confirms that your domain DNS settings are correct and valid.
Click Go to Property.
5. You Have Successfully Registered Your Domain
Once redirected, you will see a new GSC dashboard for your domain:
At first, performance graphs and indexing data will be empty.
This is normal — Google needs time to begin crawling your site.
6. Submit Your Sitemap (Essential for SEO)
On the left menu, click: Sitemaps
Enter your Blogger sitemap URL: https://www.Your URL/sitemap.xml
Click Submit.
Once submitted, Google will confirm: “Sitemap submitted”
This is one of the fastest ways to ensure your posts are indexed quickly.
7. (Optional but Recommended) Submit the Atom Sitemap as Well
For blogs with many posts, this helps Google discover paginated articles.
Submit: https://www.Your URL/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Click submit again. Google will show success after the sitemap is processed.
8. Your Domain Is Now Fully Connected to GSC
Once both sitemaps are submitted:
✔ Google can crawl your blog faster
✔ Posts will index more reliably
✔ Your custom domain becomes visible in Google Search
✔ You can track search performance and SEO metrics
Your domain is now properly registered and optimized for Google search.
