|For so long as I could presumably well merely be unsleeping, Google’s John Mueller has been preaching consistency in phrases of SEO. He did it again closing week on Twitter saying that on a usual basis points advance within the event you present Google with conflicting signals spherical canonicals, internal links, sitemaps, hreflang, rel-canonical, and so on. So be constant across your whole signals.
In case you personal 301 redirects in order to 1 URL however the canonical says something else, that is confusing. In case you’re utilizing hreflang however canonicals war with them, that can presumably well neatly be a enviornment. The lists goes on and on.
Be constant, it’s not only correct a life lesson however a technical SEO lesson.
