Shopify is a great platform but it’s not perfect. It has a number of SEO issues/drawbacks that bug a lot of people in the industry, one of them being this. Shopify changes the product URLs and adds canonical tags when you browse to them via a category/collection. So whenever you go to a product via a category, the URL looks like this:

https://www.website.com/collections/collection-name-here/products/product-name-here

That then has a canonical tag pointing to the correct URL:

https://www.website.com/products/product-name-here

It’s dealt with using the canonical tag yes. But is it optimal? No.

Want to sort this so that ALL of the products in ALL of the categories point to the correct URL? I’ll show you how.

In this video, I’m going to show you how to fix duplicate pages from Google search console. If you’ve been having issues with your Google Search Console recently, this video is guaranteed to help you out.

What is Canonical URL?
How to Canonicalize your URLs and prevent duplicate content issues?

In this video we’ll run through what a Canonical URL with RankMath in WordPress is, how it works and how it prevents you from loosing good Google juice when you re-post content on your website, or you allow others to repost your content.

Canonical URLs point to the original source of the content. If for example you post a press release from a company on your website, this is where you would add the canonical with their original URL. Then Google knows you are legitimately re-posting, and does not penalise you for duplicate content.
