How to add a free blog to your Webflow site

A blog on Webflow usually means a CMS site plan and designing collection pages yourself. With Outrank Blogs, you get a ready-made, SEO-ready blog for free, connected to your Webflow site at blog.yourbrand.com with one DNS record.

Subdomain

Your blog at blog.yourbrand.com

Webflow hosting does not let you forward a subfolder to another service, so a subdomain is the simple, reliable option.

Step by step

Set up your blog on Webflow

  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 the Webflow Designer, add a “Blog” link to your navbar and footer that points to https://blog.yourbrand.com, then publish your site.

Tips for Webflow

  • Pick a template, colors and fonts in Outrank that match your Webflow site, and add the same logo.
  • Add a link back to your Webflow site in the blog’s navigation, so readers can reach your product pages.
  • 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 Webflow: questions

Short answers to what people ask most.

Do I need a Webflow CMS plan?
No. The blog is hosted by Outrank, so your Webflow site can stay on any plan. You only add one DNS record for blog.yourbrand.com.
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. A subfolder concentrates authority on your main domain a little better, which is why we offer it when your hosting allows 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.
