Upper and lower case URLS coming up as duplicate content

[davidmac]

Hey guys and gals, I'm having a frustrating time with an issue. Our site has around 10 pages that are coming up as duplicate content/ duplicate title. I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. I was going to attempt to 301 direct the upper case to lower but I'm worried how this will affect our SEO. can anyone offer some insight on what I should be doing?

Update:  What I'm trying to figure out is what I should do for our URL's. For example, when I run an audit I'm getting two different pages: aaa.com/BusinessAgreement.com and also aaa.com/businessagreement.com. We don't have two pages but for some reason, Google thinks we do.

1. Why have the upper & lowercase case pages live
2. Have you considered canonicalisation?

Hi

Concur with Joe, you will need to explain if you have upper case and lower case pages.. assuming same content and same url..  as that is a pure duplicate..

Hey Don, thanks for the reply, when I run an audit I'm getting two different pages: aaa.com/BusinessAgreement.com and also aaa.com/businessagreement.com. We don't have two pages but for some reason, Google thinks we do.  Do you know what I should do about this?

Hi

It does read like you have two pages.

Can you share the url or put both into the browser         site:   and see if indexed?

Alternatively, has it been indexed and later 301'ed?

Regards

Hey Don_quixote,

I apologize for the jumble of words. I was a bit burnt out when searching for answers. So let me explain things a bit better. I recently tried screaming from and as running a site audit when I came across what looked like an issue. Under the duplicate filter I'm getting a few pages that have duplicate titles :

https://episodealert.com/businessassociate.aspx
https://episodealert.com/BusinessAssociate.aspx

I'm a bit lost as what I need to do. I pretty new to the world of SEO, so again I apologize for the ramble in my original post.

Hi

ok - you have duplicate pages. So it is a duplicate content issue.  Same content same urls except for capitalisation.  Further both pages are being indexed on google.

Recommend  that as soon as possible - 301 this page https://episodealert.com/BusinessAssociate.aspx to https://episodealert.com/businessassociate.aspx

You should do this for all duplicate capitalisations across the site.

We solved one! Go get em..

Don_quixote you are now my new hero !!! I can't thank you enough. You just solved my biggest headache of the past few days !!! I owe

One element to check is causation of why the duplicates.  Solve same as otherwise it maybe an ongoing problem.

Good luck.
