Collection page showing 2 pages with 2 seperate URL

Start a Business

Topic summary

Google is indexing two URLs for the same Shopify collection (e.g., /collections/beds and /collections/beds?page=2), showing them as separate search results.

This raises duplicate-content and SEO/user-experience concerns.

Suggested remedies:

  • Adjust pagination settings to change products-per-page and reduce extra paginated URLs.
  • Add a canonical tag on paginated pages pointing to the main collection URL (e.g., page=2 should canonicalize to /collections/beds, not to itself). A canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the preferred version to index.
  • Implement rel=“next” and rel=“prev” link tags to indicate the relationship among paginated pages, helping search engines understand the series.

Hello @soumodigital ,

This is Gina from flareAI app helping Shopify merchants get $6Million+ in sales from Google Search, on autopilot.

The issue you are facing is that your collection page is being split into multiple pages, each with its own unique URL. This can create duplicate content, which can negatively impact your SEO and confuse users who find your website through search engines. You can do the following to resolve this issue.

  1. Adjust the pagination settings
    By default, Shopify will split collection pages into multiple pages based on the number of products in each collection. You can adjust the pagination settings in your Shopify admin dashboard by going to “Online Store” > “Preferences” > “Pagination” and changing the number of products per page. This may reduce the number of pages in your collection and consolidate your content.

  2. Use canonical tags
    You can add a canonical tag to the header of your collection pages to indicate to search engines which page is the original and should be indexed. This can help prevent duplicate content issues. To add a canonical tag to your collection pages, you can use a Shopify app or edit your theme’s code.

The page https://www.mobelhomestore.com/collections/beds?page=2 should contain

instead of

  1. Use rel=“next” and rel=“prev” tags
    If you want to keep your pagination settings as they are, you can use rel=“next” and rel=“prev” tags to indicate to search engines how the pages are related. This can help consolidate your content and improve your SEO.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue of your collection page appearing as separate pages with different URLs.
