      My client has a page with the URL https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training/. Google won't index this page because it has detected a canonical at https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training (without the trailing slash).

      I can't find https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training without the trailing slash anywhere in our site. All the other page URLs end with the slash.

      How do I sort this out and convince Google that https://www.corptexsystems.ca/training/ is the version to index?

      Thanks in advance for your help, SEO masters!

          Either change the canonical URL to the right one if you're able to or just apply some site-wide logic on how to add or remove trailing slashes from the URL. You can easily find some solutions for this for how your webserver is running (Apache, Nginx). Usually, I opt to go that route so you don't have to worry about this being an issue for other pages, apply the logic once on the server logic, and hopefully you don't have to think about for years.

            I'll check that out. I like the idea of a site-wide solution. Thanks!
