What Should I Do About Duplicate Title Warning From Category Pages Of Store?

[IcarusSEO]

I know a lot of the MOZ warnings can be ignored, however, I'm trying to figure out of this one should be added to that list:

my store has urls setup like this for categories:

https://www.mysite.com/sweaters

https://www.mysite.com/sweaters/page/2

The meta title is "Sweaters" for both pages. Is that bad practice?

I don't think I can automatically change the meta title to to Sweaters Page 2 or even want to.

or should I do that? Or just ignore these type of warnings?

Ideally you would indeed change the title to Sweaters Page 2. Most CMSs have this type of functionality or plugins that will allow it. The best way would be to add a plugin or functionality that will let you use a template for this type of thing, so when your code recognizes it is on Page X, it automatically appends " Page X" to the title you've set for Page 1.

If you don't address this issue, Google may have more trouble deciding which page is more valuable and thus which to show - page 1 of your category or page 47. Obviously you know you will always have a Page 1, but the number of additional pages will vary, so typically you spend more time optimizing Page 1 and thus want it to be the one that ranks higher. You can handle it with a canonical so pages other than 1 list Page 1 as the canonical, but then you have fewer total pages indexed and able to show.
