A technical issue with Google Console, Indexing and Canonicals.
-
I am working on a client site, he has two sites, both under the same niche with a particular service offering (made the second site for extra earning, as the first one was already ranking).
Both of the sites have 100 plus articles. The formatting of the article is similar, however, the content is unique in them. Only a service offer link to third party is similar.
The issue i m facing is that Google is indexing the second site as the first, with Google own canonical and its showing in webmaster as:
“Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user”
i have checked the canonical on the second site, they are fine, and generated by Yoast.
I have tried, submitting a request to google, resubmitting the sitemap and all, but google is showing it as failed, and every day more and more posts are getting index as google canonical for the first site.
Anyone, who has faced similar issues? or any recommendations on how to fix it? I want the second site to get indexed on its own as an independent site?
