Problem with duplicate titles
-
Hi there, after a site crawl Moz has reported that I have duplicated titles, however I don't understand why or how to fix it. Basically the urls are for the same collection or product and are identical except one has a -1 on the end of it or sometimes a %20. I cannot delete the url as they don't exist in my shopify store so cannot find them. The relevant page has the correct url when I check in shopify.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hey!
Thanks for reaching out!
Pages are considered to have duplicate titles only if their titles are exact matches. There is no notion of overlapping or partial matches for this purpose. Like duplicate content, canonical versions should be considered, but not pages that refer to the canonical version. For more on canonicalization, check out this resource: https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization
You can verify the page title by viewing the source code of the page itself. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything that needs clarifying!
I am not so familiar with Shopify, or the way the URL's are structured within Shopify. Perhaps someone else on the forum has had more experience with this.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Eli
