How can I add rel=“canonical” tags to address the issue of "Duplicate without user-selected canonical" on my Webflow website?
To add rel="canonical" tags to address the issue of "Duplicate without user-selected canonical" on your Webflow website, you can follow these steps:
-
Go to your Webflow project and open the page where you want to add the canonical tag.
-
Click on the page settings icon (gear icon) in the top-left corner of the Designer.
-
In the Page Settings panel on the right-hand side, scroll down to find the SEO settings.
-
Click on the Customize tab within the SEO settings.
-
Locate the "Head Code" section. This is where you can add custom HTML code to your page's head section.
-
To add the rel="canonical" tag, you need to insert the following code within the head section:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/page-url">Replace "http://www.example.com/page-url" with the URL of the canonical version of the page. This should be the URL that you want search engines to consider as the authoritative version.
-
After adding the code, click outside of the code input box to save the changes.
-
Repeat these steps for any other pages on your Webflow website that need a rel="canonical" tag.
By adding rel="canonical" tags, you are signaling to search engines which version of your page to display in search results, preventing duplicate content issues and consolidating the ranking power of duplicate pages to a single preferred version.
Note: If you have a dynamic content-driven website where the canonical URL varies, you can use custom code or CMS collection fields to dynamically generate the rel="canonical" tag based on the specific page's URL.
