Review your site’s log files to look for any low-quality pages being crawled

Post by Rina7RS »

If your Magento store uses faceted navigation, you may need to take steps to control crawling. While the methods for controlling crawling of faceted navigation would probably require multiple blog posts, I will try to summarize the steps that should be taken.

Audit low quality indexed pages from faceted navigation. Remove them from index noindex, canonical tags
Block any low-value pages from being crawled via robotsxt
Consider only allowing indexing of pages with high search potential
Of course, the steps to take here will vary from site to site. The overall point is that if you are using faceted navigation on your Magento site, one of the most important things you need to do is look at how Google is crawling and indexing the pages that are being generated and take steps to de-index and then block crawling of low-quality or duplicate pages.

Product and Category Page Canonical Tags
By default, a Magento site’s canonical tags are not set for colombia mobile database both product and category pages. This is not ideal because it’s a best practice to ensure that product and category pages have self-referencing canonical tags. This indicates to search engines that these are the pages that should rank well.

Fortunately, you can adjust this in vanilla Magento:

Navigate to Store > Configuration
In the "Directory" drop-down menu, select "Directory"
Select the "SEO" drop-down menu
Make sure "Use canonical link meta tags for categories" and "Use canonical link meta tags for products" are set to "Yes"
Select Save Configuration
CanonicalTagMagento
By adjusting these settings, this should ensure that all of your site’s product and category pages have self-referencing canonical tags applied.
