Hi Everyone,
I did reach out to Shopify Support, but they were pretty poor in what they suggested, in fact, they literally just Googled it themselves.
I have had some seriously good rankings over the past year, but have seen a lot of movement up and down.
I have identified an issue as this (this is an example)
(I have removed the main web address, just in case this was not allowed.

When Google uses the first link for rankings, I rank well.
Then it comes back is finding this second link and its happening WAY to much.
I know it has a Canoical back to the original, but why is this happening and how can I stop these pages (the second link) being indexed.
It is so frustrating as when it uses the right link, I see a huge increase in sales, but then it finds this second link, and they drop.
Is there anything I can do ?
