Frequently asked questions

Where does the canonical tag go?

Inside the <head> of every duplicate or near-duplicate page, pointing at the single preferred URL — including on the preferred page itself, pointing at its own URL.

Can a canonical tag point to a different domain?

Yes — cross-domain canonicals are valid and commonly used for syndicated content.
