Add Search Description in Blogger
Just adding a text description to your blog or adjusting the settings is not sufficient for search engines to recognize it as your blog description. You need to explicitly inform search engines about your blog description so that it can be displayed below your blog title in search results. This description is referred to as a search description or snippet. The image below provides an example of how my blog appears in Google search results.
However, this process is somewhat technical and is an important aspect of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Typically, search engines crawl websites to locate the description meta tag, which signifies the description of the page or blog. You can manually define the description meta tag for your blog by editing your template. However, if you are concerned about modifying your blog template, that's precisely why you should utilize the search description feature provided by Blogger. Blogger has made it easy for you to define a search description, informing search engines that the specified description is intended to represent your blog. You can provide a concise and clear description of up to 150 characters, which will then be displayed beneath your blog title in search results. This allows users to decide whether they want to explore your blog or not. Therefore, ensure that your blog description is concise, descriptive, relevant, and captures the essence of your content. On the other hand, if you don't specify a search description for your blog, search engines will display the most suitable description based on the content appearing on your homepage, taking into account the user's search query as well.
Before You Go:
You need to check your template for the availability of below code snippet in it. If it's not available in your template, add it right after <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/> line of code.
<b:if cond='data:blog.metaDescription != ""'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' name='description'/>
</b:if>
Follow these Steps:
1. Go to Blogger Dashboard.
2. Click on your Blog Title.
3. Navigate to Settings tab from left pane.
