Resolve Duplicate Content
Use canonical tags to tell Google which version of a page counts.
Why this matters
Duplicate URLs split your ranking signals across copies. A canonical tag pulls them onto one.
✓ How to do it
- Find duplicates in your crawl (same content, different URLs, tracking codes).
- Add a canonical tag pointing to the preferred version.
- Make sure each unique page points its canonical at itself.
- Use URL Inspection in GSC to see which version Google picked as canonical.
Done whenEach duplicate URL points its canonical at the preferred page, and URL Inspection confirms Google's choice.
