      Hello all, New to MOZ Pro and SEO - so lots to get my head round!

      I’m working through the Duplicate Content section of the Crawl report and am not sure what the best practice is for my situation.

      Background:  We are a reference guide for luxury hotels around the world, but the hotels that are featured on the site vary year on year.

      When we add a new hotel page, it sets up the url as ourwebsite.com/continent/country/regionORcity/hotel.

      When the hotels come off,  I redirect their URL to the country or region where we have other hotels.

      Example: http://www.johansens.com/europe/switzerland/zermatt/

      The hotel in Zermatt has come off the site, showing 0 results on this landing page.

      Question:  My duplicate content report is showing a number of these regional pages that are displaying the copy “0 places - Region’ because the hotel has come off, but the landing page is still live.

      Should I redirect the regional page back to the main country page? And then if I add a new hotel to the site from that region in the future, simply remove the redirect?

      Should I also delete the page?

      Any tips would be much appreciated!

      • 90% of our sites that are designed are in wordpress and the report brings up "duplicate" content errors. I presume this is down to a conical error?
