Canonical URL — the representative URL selected for a group of duplicate or very similar pages and preferred for indexing and search-result signals.
The element helps search engines and users understand a page’s topic, structure, or relationship to other pages. It works only with accessible, original content and should not be used for artificial keyword repetition.
Canonical URL — the representative URL selected for a group of duplicate or very similar pages and preferred for indexing and search-result signals.
It can shape the search snippet, document structure, page address, or links between documents. A search engine may interpret the signal but is not required to use it literally.
Keep the value descriptive and consistent with the content, and avoid duplicates or conflicting signals. Verify the HTML, final URL, mobile version, and the page as retrieved by a search crawler.
