Ensure proper linking between AMP and non-AMP pages to avoid duplicate content issues.
Add a Canonical Tag
Establish the original version of your content using the canonical tag. For pages with both AMP and non-AMP versions, place the canonical tag on the AMP page, pointing to the non-AMP URL.
Example: <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/non-amp-version/" />
Use Self-Referential Canonical Tags
When only an AMP version exists, ensure the canonical tag points to itself.
Example: <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/amp-version/" />
Validation and Testing
Regularly check AMP pages for validation errors using tools like Google’s AMP Test or Semrush.
Following these guidelines will help improve SEO and prevent content duplication issues.
