Please help - Duplicate Content

[Alix_SEO]

Hi,

I am really struggling to understand why my site has a lot of duplicate content issues.

It's flagging up as ridiculously high and I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help me, please?

Website is www.firstcapitol.co.uk

Hi Alix

Just go to Google and type in site:firstcapitol.co.uk/ and you will see all of your pages that are indexed.

It's pretty easy as there are only 46.

1
Go through them and noindex the payment pages, author and category.
Delete sample blog page
Delete /hello-world
Delete /london-office

Then write unique content for what is left. Your London page (/london-collection-agency/) is a duplicate of the home page and should be canonicalised as it offers no value. You also have a contact page and a London contact page so get rid of the latter.

Write unique Titles and Description using 60 character and 140 character limits respectively - make sure they are unique.

This is very easy to fix.

Wow - thank you so much, you have no idea how much this helps me!

I thought it was the code which was flagging up as duplicate content as they all use a similar template which is slightly modified for each page.

If I fix these will it reduce the amount of duplicate content that has flagged up?

It was quite high.

Thanks again!

Hi Alix

It will solve your problems as long as you make sure all Meta is completed and that content is separated and those pages noindexed and removed as I said. This is what is causing your duplication.

Glad to help

Regards Nigel
