    Hello team,

    The blog paginated pages (example: /page/165) are being indexed in search results. Seems like Yoast is not adding /page/1 canonical to all paginated pages.
    Please help me resolve this issue.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @haseeb007,

    Thanks for reaching out about the canonical URLs of your paginated archives.

    Yoast SEO adds?rel="next"?and?rel="prev"?tags that let search engines know that they are on a paginated archive series. That makes sure that they crawl all the pages of your archive. Read more about this Yoast SEO feature?here. Also, each page within a paginated series should canonicalize to itself, so?/page/2/?has a canonical pointing to?/page/2/.

    As such, there’s no option in the Yoast SEO plugin to noindex?subpages of archives.

    Hello Maybellyne,
    Thank you for the answer.
    I would like to clarify that my blog’s paginated pages are showing up in Google. But you have mentioned that paginated series canonicalize itself.
    Then why these paginated pages are showing up in Google.
    Here’s the link to my blog for you to further examine the issue. And you can search in Google by typing the domain name or simply the brand ‘laffaz’ to witness that mutiple paginated pages example: /156 are showing in sitelinks.
    Please help.

    Then why these paginated pages are showing up in Google.

    They are showing up because they are meant to show up. They are set to index

    I would like to clarify that my blog’s paginated pages are showing up in Google. But you have mentioned that paginated series canonicalize itself.

    According to Google, a?canonical?URL is?the URL of the best representative page; it is a web page’s “preferred” version. So the paginated pages themselves are set as such, so they are indexed and not just the first page in the series.

    So, is there a way to rename them? They show up like ’77’, ‘156’ and so on.

    Can you share a screenshot of what they look like in search results? I don’t see what you mentioned when I search. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.
