Customer Reviews on Product Page / Pagination / Crawl 3 review pages only

[Train4Academy.co.uk]

Hi experts,

I present customer feedback, reviews basically, on my website for the products that are sold. And with this comes the ability to read reviews and obviously with pagination to display the available reviews.

Now I want users to be able to flick through and read the reviews to help them satisfy whatever curiosity they have.

My only thinking is that the page that contains the reviews, with each click of the pagination will present roughly the same content. The only thing that changes is the title tags which will contain the number in the H1 to display the page number.

I'm thinking this could be duplication but i have yet to be notified by Google in my Search console...

Should i block crawlers from crawling beyond page 3 of reviews?

Thanks

@Train4Academy-co-uk Blocking crawlers beyond page 1, 2, or 3 of any category can be a good idea beyond the famed "duplicate content" issue. The main benefits being it reduces load on your site and saves your bandwidth/crawl budget for more important things.

It might prevent reviews getting indexed, but a workaround is to have a page per review in the sitemap and then either linking to them internally from other pages or submitting to search console manually.

Might help!
