Non user selected canonicals for product pages

blingboss — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 13:55:31 GMT

Hello,

I am having a lot of non-user-selected canonicals for my product pages. In Weebly, the item pages don't allow you to insert a tag into the header like other webpages. I can add the embed code element, but only at the bottom of the page. Does anyone have a workaround?

Thank you!

I have about 300 product pages with this problem because many of my products are very similar. However, due to price structure, size, or color, I cannot group them under one page.

I have experimented with one product page with a 301 redirect and requested reindexing (I prefer to start small to see the results before I jump in). With Weebly, I can only redirect back to my storefront. As far as I can see, this removes my free listing for this particular product from Google Merchant Center.

My thought process is, I currently have over 800 free Google merchant listings so losing about 300 to get those duplicate without user selected canonical pages indexed is a small price to pay. Am I missing any drawbacks? Is the 301 redirect the way to go?

Any thoughts?
