Google Search Console: Canonical URL

Academy Study Groups Study Group: SEO

I have registered domain property in the Google Search Console example.com. But it’s still showing there’s an indexing issue.

1)The error is “Alternate page with proper canonical tag”. The URL it shows is Example Domain.

2) Also tell me is it necessary to solve “Page with Redirect” indexing error. OR just adding "https://www.example.com" with proper redirection from alternatives like “http://example.com”, http://www.example.com"

Thank You

Hi @Hashir,

I did some research and it seems that the message “Alternate page with proper canonical tag” in the Google Search Console isn’t necessarily an error, it means that Google will simply exclude the duplicate version and index the main version of the page as there are two versions of a page on your website having the same canonical URL.

If you’d, however, still like to resolve the error message, you can find detailed instructions here.

I hope this helps!
