FAQ

Got questions about canonicals?

Everything you need to know

What is a canonical tag and why does it matter?+

A canonical tag (rel=canonical) tells search engines which URL is the master version of duplicate or similar pages. It prevents duplicate content penalties and consolidates ranking signals. SEOScaleUp's tool verifies it's correctly implemented.

Can I check canonicals for a whole site?+

Yes, the bulk audit mode supports CSV upload up to 1,000 URLs per session. The report shows each page's canonical status and recommendations.

What's the difference between 301 redirect and canonical?+

301 redirect sends users and bots to the final URL; canonical is a hint. Canonical tag is recommended when you need to keep both pages accessible but specify preference.

Does Google always respect canonical tags?+

Generally yes, but Google may choose differently if signals conflict (inbound links, sitemap). Our tool flags conflicting signals to maximize compliance.

How often should I audit canonical tags?+

After site migrations, redesigns, or monthly for large eCommerce sites. Our tool makes recurring audits effortless.

Does this tool check self-referencing canonicals?+

Yes, and we recommend them. Every page should ideally have a self-referential canonical tag to avoid any ambiguity.

Is the tool free forever?+

Core canonical checking features remain free with no signup required — unlimited checks, bulk, export included.

Can I use it for subdomains or international sites?+

Absolutely. The tool validates cross-domain canonicals and hreflang conflicts for multilingual setups.
