How to Enable Search Description for Blogger and Blog Posts


Search Description Image

Search description is shown just below the post in the web search result. It gives a brief idea about the topic you're looking for. Certainly a better search description helps you get more traffic from the search result. And it also helps you to get a better ranking! 


Search Result Description


Look at the image above. Someone is searching for- typing speed secret. Now look at the first two results showing here. 
  • In the first post the description is somewhat related. 
  • In the second post the search description is only the first few sentences of the post.
That means search description is not included with the second post. And certainly it fails to attract visitors to enter your blog! 

In the search description you can either use an important part of your post or you can create few lines for it which is actually not written in the post body. Whatever you do, make sure your search description is related to the post and quite attractive. 

Today I'm gonna talk about how to enable search description for blogger blog and how to set description for each blog. There two parts: 
  • Enable Blog Description (Only for your home page).   
  • Search Description for Posts (Individual Blog Posts). 

First of all you need to sign in to your blogger account. Now follow the two steps below: 

Step 1: Enable Search Description: 
Settings > Search Preferences > Meta Tags > Descriptions > Edit > Select Yes > Type a proper description for your blog > Save Changes

Now search description is active for your site. When you write a new post you will see a Search Description option in the Post Settings. And when you search your blog in Google or Bing you will see a description of your blog. 

For example: Search Marks PC or Marks PC Solution on Google. It should appear at the top or within first 5 results. Then you will see its description- Marks PC Solution is an ideal place for IT persons with Computer tips, Secret tips, Internet tips, Troubleshooting, Blogging, SEO & Gaming Solutions!



Step 2: Search Description for Posts: 

Well this is actually not an one time task. You have to do this with each and every posts of your site. Before doing this work make sure you enabled search description from the step one. 
Create a New Post from where you usually do > Look at the Post Settings option at the right > Hit on the Search Description > Type a search description for your post or simply copy-paste few important lines from your post > Done.

Now complete your posts and publish this. Search it on Google by post title. If it appears in the result then you will be able to see a description of the post beneath the post title. 


For example- search Google- How to Enable Search Description for Blogger and Blog Posts

  10. does search description and meta description are eqivalent

    ReplyDelete

    1. I think so. Or they are almost similar. But there is a possibility of having technical difference.

      Because blogger has an option to enable search description and meta description.

      Only description is shown just below your Blog Title. And meta description is shown in Google or Bing search results.

  13. Hello my friend i like your blog and i personally follow your blog post . Actually i want to create a blog and i have some confusion about some blogger features .

    Query 1. i am so confused in blogger under setting tab - Basic - there is description option and when we go to search preference under setting tab there is meta tags description option. i hope you understand my question. Now my question is that what should i write in both of these options? Should they be same or different from each other because both the options have different word character limit one has 150 character (Basic description) and other has 500 character (Meta tag description).

    Query 2. I have one more doubt is it necessory to write Title, Meta description and Keywords in HTML page also ? If yes then should it be same as in above setting options or different from them?

    Looking for a positive response.


    Thanks

    1. You don't need to be confused anymore. I'm gonna clarify it :)

      1. Description will be shown just below your Blog Title. It is just describes your site. Thus people will be informed what your site is about.

      2. Description under search preference is how you wanna say about your site to search engines. This description will be shown in the search results.

      What to do: Both of the description can be same or different. It depends on your site or your mentality. If you wanna make them different you can. No problem. But I think both of them should be relevant with each other.

      Feel free to contact us in the future . . . :)

    1. Nothing is foolish actually
      Something you know today correct, maybe wrong tomorrow. So never think yourself stupid. Ya permalink has some effects on search results. The more similar your post title and permalink, the greater the facility in search result.

      But if your site is strong enough, you can customize the permalink. No problem.
