Complicated Duplicate Content Question...but it's fun, so please help.

[KempRugeLawGroup]

Quick background: I have a page that is absolutely terrible, but it has links and it's a category page so it ranks. I have a landing page which is significantly - a bizillion times - better, but it is omitted in the search results for the most important query we need.

I'm considering switching the content of the two pages, but I have no idea what they will do. I'm not sure if it will cause duplicate content issues or what will happen.

Here are the two urls:

Terrible page that ranks (not well but it's what comes up eventually)

https://kemprugegreen.com/personal-injury/

Far better page that keeps getting omitted:

https://kemprugegreen.com/location/tampa/tampa-personal-injury-attorney/

Any suggestions (other than just wait on google to stop omitting the page, because that's just not going to happen) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ruben

Hi there.

Super easy solution - put canonical link from "bad" page to "good" one. Do "fetch as google" in GWT. And voila!

And that will transfer the link authority (or whatever is making that page rank) to the other page, as well?

P.S. Super Thank You!

Yes. Canonical link transfers all the link juice.
