Why are we like setting up a blog for Magento shop? We all know in this way we can achieve better SEO results.I have tested several blog extensions for Magento 2, including the free Magento 2 blog plugin and commercial Magento blog plugin, here let me share the best SEO extension for Magento 2 from Magefan, including Magento 2 blog extension free version and business versions.
Here are some advantages that why I like about this Magento 2 SEO extension free version:
With our Magento2 Blog module we’ll have:
– Blog XML Sitemap
– Meta Data Information
– Open Graph Meta Data
– SEO-Friendly URLs
– Canonical URL
– Breadcrumb
– Rich Snippets (Structured Data)
– Robots Meta Tag.
Most Magento 2 blog extensions claim that they also offer SEO-Friendly URLs. Do they really offer qualified SEO-Friendly URLs? Some are not! Some do offer better SEO-friendly URLs blog extension for Magento 2, but they do not offer another most important SEO factor: Qualified Blog XML Sitemap for Google! After I checked some blog extensions for Magento I found another question, some only offer simple XML sitemap, it can not offer more powerful SEO function as the blog in Magento 2 from MageFan do.
Some blogs for Magento 2, including business or commercial versions, claimed they offer SEO-friendly URLs also. NO, THEY DON’T. I am sure they may do harm to your shop if you use them! Why? We all know Canonical URL is very important, but they do not meet this demand. For most people, I am sure they can not find the issue. Let me share the method here, say: Blog from magesolution, their Magento blog extension is very popular, here is a URL from their demo shop:
https://themes.magesolution.com/claue/m2/en/blog/beauty
Let us do some change here, please try:
https://themes.magesolution.com/claue/m2/en/girl/beauty
https://themes.magesolution.com/claue/m2/en/boy/beauty
Both 2 new URLs are ok! Same content as the first one! Can you dare to use such blog Magento 2 extension?! Another big issue of this blog is it does not offer XML sitemap, either. Hope magesolution can improve these problems as soon as possible.
I do not want to say much about other business blogs, it is not good for their selling. I only think the best Magento 2 blog extension is from Magefan. Furthermore, I have installed Magento 2.3.7 under https://www.australiaglasses.com, by default, there is no blog extension, so I plan to install the free blog extension from magefan.com/magento2-blog-extension.
A big advantage for SEO of this blog extension for Magento 2.3.7, and 2.4.2, you can remove the blog route for blog categories and posts, say:
https://www.australiaglasses.com/prescription-safety-glasses
https://www.australiaglasses.com/how-good-are-prescription-transition-safety-glasses
I am sure the other Magento blog extension free or business versions do not have such wonderful function!
There are many other great functions for better SEO, jut visit www.magefan.com and try.
We also can buy multi blog extensions to control 2 blogs, say Magento 2 Multi Blog Editions & Pricing (2x Blog) from magefan.com, just copy the following link:

Do us the favor, thanks!
I will install Magento 2.3.7 or Magento 2.4.2 under https://www.glassesshops.com , and test blog extra from Magefan, by then, I will share more!
