How can I avoid duplicate page issues affecting my SEO rankings?

[Aysiya]

Hi All,

I am ranking in 10th position for the term "Hypnobirthing Candle".

I have a Hypnobirthing Candle landing page (https://aysiya.com/collections/hypnobirthing-candle, however, Google is picking up this page > https://aysiya.com/collections/hypnobirthing-candle/pastel-candles. The content on the page is an entire duplicate of the Hypnobirthing Candle page.

The organic text ad looks like this:

I'm not sure where or how I have Tagged "pastel candles" . Or, how, or why, it would be creating duplicate pages on the site. 

Any help on this would be most appreciated! 

Many thanks,

Lauren

Hello @Aysiya ,

Tagged "pastel candles" in SERP is coming due to this page: https://aysiya.com/collections/hypnobirthing-candle/pastel-candles. 

Now, this page is coming because of "filter" variable which you are using.

Now, if you see this page, after clicking on anyone in the filter list, your store is creating a separate page for it. This is the reason, why Google is showing Tagged term in SERP. 

Now, why Google is picking this URL https://aysiya.com/collections/hypnobirthing-candle/pastel-candles over this: https://aysiya.com/collections/hypnobirthing-candle just because of the URL.
