Duplicate content on Places to Stay listings pages

[iescape]

Hello,

I've just crawled our website https://www.i-escape.com/ to find we have a duplicate content issue. Every places to stay listing page has identical content (over 1,500 places) due to the fact it's based on user searches or selections. If we hide this pages using canonical tags, will we lose our visibility for each country and/or region we promote hotels?

Any help on this would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks so much

Clair

Nikki, if you hide the unsuitable places from the Moz crawler, you'll be also hiding them from other search engine crawlers, such as Googlebot and Bingbot. So, when it comes to duplicate content, we typically recommend using canonical tags in order to tell the search engines (and crawlers like the Moz crawler) that the content is duplicate. This way the pages are essentially still recognized, but their "link juice" and any other "value" is passed to the page you're canonicaling "to".

Thank you Bernadette.

The one thing I'm struggling with here is how to recognise what the actual duplicate content is as it's a listing page which generates different results each time. Here are some examples:

https://www.i-escape.com/boutique-hotels?collection[0]=barefoot
https://www.i-escape.com/boutique-hotels?collection[0]=dog-friendly
https://www.i-escape.com/mysore/boutique-hotels
https://www.i-escape.com/namibia/boutique-hotels

Best wishes,
