Hello, I apologize for the issue you’re facing with page indexing and the duplicate pages on your website. I understand that you received an email via Google Search Console stating “Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user.” This issue can be fixed by identifying the affected pages and taking appropriate action.
To identify the affected pages, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the Pages section of Google Search Console and click on the Not indexed tab.
- Look for the “Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user” status and click on it.
- This will show you a list of all the pages on your website that are affected by this issue.
Here is an example screenshot of what you should see in Google Search Console:
Once you have identified the affected pages, you can proceed with fixing them. There are a few ways to fix this issue:
-
Method 1: 301 Redirects: You can set up 301 redirects from the duplicate pages to the original pages. This will inform search engines that the original page is the preferred version.
-
Method 2: Using Canonical URL: You can add a canonical URL to the duplicate pages, pointing to the original page. This will indicate to search engines that the original page is the preferred version.
