How to deal with filter pages - Shopify
-
Hi there,
/collections/living-room-furniture/black
/collections/living-room-furniture/fabricIs that ok to make all the above filter pages canonicalised with their main category /collections/living-room-furniture
Also, does it needs to be noindex, follow as well?
Note - already removed the content from filter pages, updated meta tags as well.
Please advice, thank you
-
they are different
-
Are those main category pages (like /collections/living-room-furniture) or are they different?
-
And what about the URLs like:
/collections/alpha-asc-100-500
/collections/alpha-asc-boardroom-chairsDoes it needs to be noindex, follow OR noindex, nofollow?
-
As Joe said canonical is fine. No need to play with all the other tags, leave them alone!
-
Hello, canonicalisation will suffice in this context.

Category pages, should I noindex them?
Hi there, I have a question about my blog that I hope you guys can answer. Should I no index the category and tag pages of my blog? I understand they are considered as duplicate content, but what if I try to work the keyword of that category? What would you do? I am looking forward to reading your answers 🙂

FAQ page structure
I have read in other discussions that having all questions on an FAQ page is the way to go and then if the question has an answer worthy of its own page, you should abbreviate the answer and link to the page with more content. My question is when using some templates in WP, they have a little + button you can click and it reveal the answer to the question. Does this hurt SEO versus having all text visible and then using headers/subheaders? An example of the + button https://fyrfyret.dk/faq/

Should we rename and update a page or create a new page entirely?
Hi Moz Peoples! We have a small site with a simple site navigation, with only a few links on the nav bar. We have been doing some work to create a new page, which will eventually replace one of the links on the nav bar. The question we are having is, is it better to rename the existing page and replace its content and then wait for the great indexer to do its thing, or perm delete the page and replace it with the new page and content? Or is this a case where it really makes no difference as long as the redirects are set up correctly?

Q&A Page Titles
Hello All! I am currently updating page titles and metadata descriptions for a websites Q&A section and have run in to a problem while updating page titles. Since it is the Q&A section of the website, all of the page titles are around 100 characters and some are up to 200 characters long. Here is an example: Page Title: My child is working below grade level in math. Do I have to purchase the curriculum from the grade below as well? The problem is that this is obviously too long for a SERP to display however I know it is best practice to have matching titles on both the title tag and page title. My question is what hurts SEO value more: the title tag and title of the page not matching or having a very long title displayed on the SERP?
