Site Crawl - MOz Pro

[acsilver]

Hi There,

When i look into my site crawl i have thousands of duplicate content issues. Now they are essentially product pages which are in multiple categories - however we have added the canonical tag so im confused as to why all of these are appearing as if there is an error, does the MOZ bot not take canonicals into account?

Kind Regards

Gemma

Hi there! We do take canonicals into account. Our tool has a 90% tolerance for duplicate content, which means it will flag any content that has 90% of the same code between pages. This includes all the source code on the page and not just the viewable text. If you're seeing duplicate content flagged, it's likely due to issues with how the canonical tags are set up.

For more info on canonicalization best practices, check out this article: https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization

If you're still unsure why your pages are being flagged, feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com!
