Follow/NoFollow?

[moon-boots]

I run Magento 2 and have two stores, one intended for the EU and one for the US. 99% of the products available appear on both stores, there is an automatic redirect in place to either store depending on your location. But I think Google is seeing these as duplicate products/stores.

Should I add the Index,NoFollow tag to one of the two stores?

My issue is that I want both stores to rank in their geographical locations and I am concerned that by adding the NoFollow tag is will stop that dead in its tracks for one location.

Any advice would be helpful.

Hi there,

When it comes to internationalization, there is a simple solution for google search: use hreflang tags.
Here what they say: Internationalization and multi-language websites - google search help.

Hoping that you have different URL for each store and that you've places hreflang tags correctly, you should not be worrying that much. OF course, you have to check rankings, traffic and other metrics that are important to you.

Referring to placing nofollow tags, this won't make any difference in this case. Keep in mind that nofollow tags are there to tell google not to look what's there on the links; to not crawl (follow) them. Here more information from Google about nofollow attribute.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.
