Framer guide

How to add a free blog to your Framer site

Framer is great for landing pages, but a growing blog can hit CMS limits and needs its pages designed by hand. Outrank Blogs gives you a complete blog for free, connected to your Framer site at blog.yourbrand.com with one DNS record.

Subdomain

Your blog at blog.yourbrand.com

Framer hosts your site for you, so a subdomain is the simple, reliable way to add a blog on your own domain.

Step by step

Set up your blog on Framer

  1. 1Create your free blog: enter your website and pick a template. It is live in about a minute.Start here
  2. 2In Outrank, open Blog → Settings → Domain and choose “Subdomain”. Enter the address you want, such as blog.yourbrand.com, and click Continue. Outrank shows the DNS record to add.
  3. 3Sign in where you manage your domain’s DNS (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, OVH…) and add the record Outrank shows, with the same type, name and value. Remove any other record with the same name first.
  4. 4On Cloudflare, set the proxy status of that record to “DNS only” (grey cloud).
  5. 5Back in Outrank, click Check now. Most changes work within minutes, some take up to 24 hours. HTTPS is set up for you.
  6. 6In Framer, add a “Blog” link to your navigation and footer that points to https://blog.yourbrand.com, then publish your site.

Tips for Framer

  • Match the blog to your Framer site with the same logo, brand color and fonts.
  • Add a link back to your Framer site in the blog’s navigation and a call-to-action block in your posts.
  • If your domain already runs through Cloudflare’s proxy, the Cloudflare Worker guide lets you serve the blog at yourbrand.com/blog instead.

FAQ

Adding a blog to Framer: questions

Short answers to what people ask most.

Does this count against my Framer CMS limits?
No. Posts live on your Outrank blog, not in Framer CMS, so you can publish as many as you like without changing your Framer plan.
Is a blog on a subdomain good for SEO?
Yes. It is indexed and ranks like any site, with its own sitemap and structured data. Linking to it from your Framer site’s navigation helps search engines find it.
Does connecting my own domain cost anything?
No. Connecting a subdomain, a subfolder or a separate domain is free on every Outrank Blogs plan, and HTTPS is included.
