Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

There are over 200 locations on the location page. If you click on a location you are then taken to a page with the address of the place followed by a google map showing where it is on a map. There isn't actually any written content and there really doesn't need to be any. So writing unique content is impossible.

Even though these pages all have a different address on them for some reason google still thinks its 'duplicate' page content because of the embedded map.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Moz keeps finding loads of pages with duplicate content on my website.

The problem is its a directory page to different locations.

E.g if we were a clothes shop we would be listing our locations:

www.sitename.com/locations/london

www.sitename.com/locations/rome

www.sitename.com/locations/germany

The content on these pages is all the same, except for an embedded google map that shows the location of the place. The problem is that google thinks all these pages are duplicated content.

Should i set a canonical link on every single page saying that www.sitename.com/locations/london is the main page?

I don't know if i can use canonical links because the page content isn't identical because of the embedded map.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
