25 of our website's pages are serving duplicate meta descriptions. This is not optimal for search engine rankings as it can cause search engine algorithms to struggle with page differentiation and authority. The affected pages include various iterations of our homepage, blog pages, and some service-related pages. The usage of rel="canonical" links is a recommended approach to solve this.

For Links: https://activebridge.org https://activebridge.org/ https://activebridge.org/contacts https://activebridge.org/contacts.html https://activebridge.org/index https://activebridge.org/reviews https://activebridge.org/reviews.html https://activebridge.org/services https://activebridge.org/services.html

Solution: implement 301 redirects for any URLs that are no longer needed, directing them to the relevant canonical pages.

For Links: https://activebridge.org/blog/ https://activebridge.org/blog// https://activebridge.org/blog/2/ https://activebridge.org/blog/3/ https://activebridge.org/blog/4/ https://activebridge.org/blog/5/ https://activebridge.org/blog/6/ https://activebridge.org/blog/7/ https://activebridge.org/blog/business_growth/ https://activebridge.org/blog/engineering/ https://activebridge.org/blog/engineering/2/ https://activebridge.org/blog/engineering/3/ https://activebridge.org/blog/engineering/4/ https://activebridge.org/blog/inside_ab/ https://activebridge.org/blog/pm_team_management/ https://activebridge.org/blog/pm_team_management/2/

Solution: Implement rel="canonical" tags on the header of each page, pointing to the determined canonical URL. This will indicate to search engines which page is the preferred one when multiple pages contain identical or very similar content. Example: ink rel="canonical" href="https://activebridge.org/blog/" should be placed on all duplicate or similar blog pages' headers.
