Canonical Status
Definition
Canonical status refers to the implementation of canonical tags on webpages. Canonical tags are HTML elements that specify the preferred version of a webpage when multiple versions with similar content exist. The canonical version is considered the primary or authoritative version for indexing and ranking purposes.
Implementation
To implement canonical tags, add the element to the HTML head section of the non-canonical versions of the webpage. Set the href attribute to the URL of the canonical version. This helps search engines understand the preferred version and consolidate ranking signals.
Benefits
- Improved Website Ranking: Canonical status ensures that all relevant pages contribute to website ranking, improving the visibility of the website on organic search results.
- Proper Content Discovery: Canonical status ensures the proper display of search snippets, aiding in content discovery, and providing clarity on the main topic of the content.
- Improved User Experience: Canonicalization ensures proper page hierarchy, improving user experience by providing clear guidance on the website’s sitemap.
- Eliminates Duplicate Content: Canonical URL consolidation eliminates the problem of duplicate content providing search engines with clarity on which page to promote.
