Canonical Tag Tutorial in SEO - Sasikumar Talks

What is a Canonical Tag?

A rel="canonical" tag is used in SEO to specify the preferred URL when you have duplicate or very similar pages. It helps search engines consolidate signals from multiple URLs into one and shows the preferred version in search results.

Why Use a Canonical Tag?

• Specify which URL you want people to see in search results.
• Consolidate signals for similar or duplicate pages.
• Track metrics more easily for specific content.
• Prevent Google from wasting time crawling duplicates.
