Findings (excerpt)

1. Duplicate and weak titles (high priority)

11 service pages use the pattern "Plumbing Services | Northgate". Searchers and search engines cannot tell "boiler repair" from "drain unblocking".

PageCurrent titleSuggested title
/boiler-repairPlumbing Services, NorthgateBoiler Repair in [City], Same-Day Callout, Northgate
/blocked-drainsPlumbing Services, NorthgateBlocked Drains Cleared in [City] from £89, Northgate

2. Town pages are near duplicates (high priority)

The 7 town pages are 94% identical text. Each needs at least 250 words unique to that town: areas covered, typical jobs there, travel time, a local customer review.

3. Slow service pages on mobile (medium)

Hero images average 1.9 MB. Compressing to WebP and setting width to 1,200 px would bring load time to about 2.5 s.

4. Blog does not pass value to services (medium)

The top 10 posts get 62% of organic visits, but only 2 of them link to a service page. "Why is my boiler losing pressure?" alone gets about 1,100 visits a month and links nowhere.

5. Tag pages indexed (low)

38 /tag/ pages with 1–3 posts each. Set them to noindex.

About this service

Duplicate pages split ranking signals and waste crawling, and they usually come from the site setup rather than copied text: http and https or www and non-www both live, trailing slash and uppercase variants, tracking and sort parameters, printer pages, products in several category paths, or a staging copy left open. We check your site for these patterns, group the duplicates found, and for each group say whether it needs a 301 redirect, a canonical tag, a noindex or a merge of the content.

What is included

  • What you getA duplicate content report grouped by cause, with example URLs, the fix for each group (redirect, canonical, noindex or merge) and ready redirect rules or canonical examples for your server or platform.
  • Host and protocolhttp, https, www and non-www versions
  • URL variantsSlashes, case, index files and parameters
  • Content duplicatesNear-identical pages to merge
  • Fix per groupRedirect, canonical, noindex or merge
  • Ready rulesRedirect rules for your server

What we need from you

A link to the site, your platform and server type if known (Apache, Nginx, hosted builder), and any duplicate URLs you have noticed or seen in the Search Console Pages report.

We will ask you:

  • Which platform and server does the site run on?
  • Which duplicates have you noticed already?
  • Does the Search Console Pages report show duplicate statuses?

Questions and answers

Will Google penalise me for duplicates?

Not for technical duplicates. It picks one version itself, which may not be the one you want, and that is what the fixes control.

Redirect or canonical: which is better?

A redirect when the duplicate does not need to exist for visitors, a canonical when it does, such as a filtered view. The report says which for each group.

Do you check copied text from other sites?

No, this service covers duplicates within your own site.
