How to Add Canonical Links to Your Funnel or Website

What Is a Canonical Link?

A canonical link identifies the primary (“master”) version of a webpage when the same or similar content appears under multiple URLs. This helps search engines avoid indexing duplicates, which can dilute rankings.

For example, these URLs could show the same content:

• https://example.com/page
• https://example.com/page?sessionid=123

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/page" />

Best Practices for Canonical Links

• Use canonical links only when duplicate or near-duplicate content appears across multiple URLs.
• Point the canonical URL to the public-facing, preferred version of the page.
• Avoid “canonical chains” (A points to B, B points to C).
• Use absolute URLs (not relative URLs).
