How can I adjust the canonical on all paginated pages in Webflow to be self-referencing?
To adjust the canonical on all paginated pages in Webflow to be self-referencing, you can follow these steps:
- Go to your Webflow project and open the Designer.
- In the Pages panel, locate the paginated page you wish to work with and click on it to open the settings.
- In the Page Settings panel, scroll down to the SEO section.
- Click on the "Add field" button next to the "Custom Code" field.
- In the "Name" field, enter "canonical" (without quotes).
- In the "Content" field, enter "{{current-page}}" (without quotes).
This will set the canonical URL on the paginated pages to be self-referencing. The "{{current-page}}" variable will dynamically insert the URL of the current page as the canonical URL.
By using this method, each paginated page will have a canonical URL that points to itself, helping search engines understand that these pages are part of a larger set or sequence.
It is important to note that using self-referencing canonical tags on paginated pages helps consolidate SEO authority to the main page, avoids duplicate content issues, and ensures that search engines understand the relationship between paginated pages.
Make sure to also implement proper pagination tags, such as rel="prev" and rel="next", to indicate the sequence of the paginated pages to search engines. This can further help improve SEO for paginated content in Webflow.
