One of the things people always ask is “How to write an SEO optimized post on blogger“. The Answer is not so tough as it seems.

Blogspot or blogger don’t have any such plugin facility, widget or plugin to add SEO optimized post. But I found a great trick to use Yoast plugin on blogger. If you don’t know what a Yoast plugin is? Then do a google search now and find it “What is Yoast plugin“.
SEO optimized post on blogger using Yoast plugin?
Ok, you heard it right! Now let me clear some of your common questions. Some major questions asked by the user are “Is there any Yoast SEO plugin Made for blogger ?“, “Is it possible to integrate Yoast SEO plugin to blogger” or someone may also ask “Are you making fool ?”. My answer to all the above questions is “NO“. This is my personal trick which I use into my blogger blog to write SEO optimized post on blogger. So there is no official known Yoast SEO plugin for blogger.
Trick to add Yoast SEO plugin to blogger
As I said there is no Yoast plugin to integrate to blogger blog. So what I do is “I write my post on the Local WordPress Blog with Yoast plugin installed and check all the SEO factors in my post and then I copy the post to my blogger blog. If you think that’s not fair. Believe me, it’s more than fair. I know that Yoast SEO plugin is the best plugin on WordPress, So I simply use WordPress editor with Yoast plugin to write my post and then edit my post according to the addressed errors on Yoast SEO bar. No investment required.
I installed the WordPress on my local pc i.e. On my Windows PC. So you don’t need any server to install WordPress just install it on your PC. As I have mentioned before How to install WordPress on your local server on your PC. If you are using another operating system such as MAC then you can use XAMPP or other software to create a local server on your Computer and install WordPress, Just Google it.
After installing the WordPress add the WordPress Yoast plugin to WordPress. Download it and upload it to the plugin directory of WordPress installation. Or use plugin page in WordPress to install it. Search google if you don’t know how to install a plugin to WordPress.

- Yoast has 3 color dot codings. RED dot for serious errors, ORANGE dot for light warnings, and GREEN dot for no errors (Perfect).
- When you see the Green Dots in the error box then that error is now rectified. You have to secure as many as a green dot. At the as well as at the top then you are good to add the post to Blogger. (Ignore the image errors)
- Use keywords as told by Yoast. i.e. In the H2 tags, in between the post. Do as directed and after finishing the post you will see a “Y” of green color in the sidebar with “Good” as a rating. See image below.
