Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi!

Ime quite new to SEO and to woocommerce so please  help out with this one.. We are migrating from Ithemes Exchange over to WooCommerce and i have come up with some issues.

We are selling adhesives and some of the products have the same name and description, the only thing that seperates them are sometimes the widht, or the length on the roll..

As we have it now we have a separate product page for each widht and length. For example here http://siga-sverige.se/siga/fentrim-2-100/ and here http://siga-sverige.se/siga/fentrim-2-150/

The above product pages are for a product called Fentrim 2. its availiable in widhts from 75 to 300mm.. so, its six diffent products pages with more or less the same description.

I get that this will create duplicate content, couse the description on the pages are similar.. We cant use variations in woocommerce, couse this cant be set up to exactly match our shipping needs, so, we need them on separate pages..

Soo, my plan is to set a new product page for Fentrim 2, ex http://siga-sverige.se/siga/fentrim-2 and then set that url as canonical url for the variations of the product.. Am i on the right track?

Gratefull for any help on this one!

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the response.

Your answer raised some thoughts.

The plan was to have a new product as the landing page and the page where I would focus the content on..

It could be divided in to a category but our layout doesn't give any good room for the product content..

And, we also rank for all of the versions of the product. As I described, each fentrim adhesive comes in different widths,  and also versions that named IS 20, 20, see the attached screenshot for a Google search for fentrim at SE Google.

Any ideas?

Thanks Logan for your respons! Gives me the guts to go forward with our planned change.

Our e-commerce solution is WooCommerce, and i have read somewhere that variations creates their own urls and therefore can be punished as duplicate content. Any thoughts on that?
