GSC still reporting duplicates after implementing canonicals/redirects
- SEO |
Hello,
I am dealing with a funny situation.
Google Search Console reported some duplicate title tags, in the HTML Improvements sections several months ago.
I implemented 301 redirects and rel canonicals where appropriate to solve the duplicate issue for those pages. This is something I did several weeks ago, but those title tags are still reported as duplicates.
Later, I noticed I left both canonical and duplicate URLs in the sitemap.xml. Could this be the reason Google is still keeping the ULRs in its index? However, I removed the duplicates, keeping only the main, canonical URL in the sitemap.xml.
Could somebody please suggest me a solution for that? Should I manually submit the edited URLs (with redirects or rel canonicals) for crawling in GSC, or is there anything else I can to have those duplicate title tags removed from GSC?
Thank you very much
