: Will lower casing all canonical url solve duplicate issue The website I'm working on can have both upper and lower case URLs, even though they will produce the exact same content. eg: http://www.freeofficefinder.com/uk/off

The website I'm working on can have both upper and lower case URLs, even though they will produce the exact same content. eg: www.freeofficefinder.com/uk/office-space/london/soho and www.freeofficefinder.com/uk/office-space/london/SOHO Will both produce the same search results for the area "Soho".

I have just placed a "Lower Case" canonical url in the all the pages now seeing as Google was obviously complaining about "duplicate" results. After almost 4 weeks these pages are still listed as being duplicate even though the Canonical URL is lower case (even for the uppercase links)

Is there something else I should do, will this "canonical URL" work, or should I just wait a little longer for Google to update my index in Google Webmaster Tools?

I had the exact same situation ( a webshop), just wait. I also 301 all the uppercased paged to the lowercase version, that might speed things up.


Make sure you canonical all pages
Header 301 all pages to the lowercase
Make sure your sitemap is up to date
Make sure all inpage anchors are correct
