      Moz is showing my url with two different starts. Https:// and then the one I use https://www. The problem is I don’t think I have ever used the url without the www. at the start. How do I fix this?

        The problem is that google is probably indexing the 2. You can correct that all accesses through https://www redirect you to https://. If you are being indexed by both, you will have a duplicate content problem. We do not know which is your website to investigate further ..

            Hi there,

            Upon checking your site I see that you have two versions of your site available:

            www. Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk

            Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk

            You should get in touch with your hosting provider and ask them to set up 301 redirect on the server level.

            You should redirect

            https://www. Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk ->https://Bilstonplumbingandheating.co.uk

            Ross

            • Moz is showing issues at metadata continuously even though the issues are fixed.
