Page is not indexed: Alternate page with proper canonical tag

[Rasheed]

Hello my name name is Rasheed and I am a travel blogger. I joined Google Search console and submitted a few pages in it. But, instead of indexing the blog pages, Google shows this error.

Code: Select all

Page indexing error: Page is not indexed: Alternate page with proper canonical tag

Why does Google show this error instead of indexing the blog page?

Do not worry. Check the source code of the blog post and look for the canonical meta tag. Google indexed the canonical URL instead of the page you submitted.

Hello Rasheed,

If you want to index that specific page in search engines, remove the canonical tag.
