5. Set Your Blog International Targeting From Google Console: If you don’t target your country, how do your want google to know which country you are posting your articles or products for? So you can’t get your true niche audience which means, you won’t get your visitors that love your products or articles easily and this can also make you get ranked in another country instead of your country.
Just go to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home
Then click on your blog URL in google console and under Search traffics, you will click on INTERNATIONAL TARGETING.
Then, choose your Country from the options and save.
By now, you would find and start seeing your audience and google will know where to rank and crawl your articles which will make users in that country know your blog or articles.

Change bravotecharena.com to your blog name.
Then finally click on SUBMIT.
7. Set Your Blog Crawling Title: This is one of the best SEO to apply for your blogger. Normally, the default title settings shows blog title before article and this is very bad. So you have to show blog article title first before blog title. See how to apply this;

<title><data:blog.pageName/> – bravotecharena.com </title>
