Asked by Alana Caporale on Dec 9, 2024
Alana observes that a SERP sitelink for their client's 'Latest Blog + News' points to a paginated URL (e.g., /blog/page/2) instead of the main blog listing page (/blog). She asks how to correct this.

Rushik explains that the canonical URL for the main blog listing page needs to be explicitly set. This can be done in HubSpot settings under Website > Pages > SEO & Crawlers tab. Under 'Blog Listing Pages', select the first option ('Use the same canonical URL for all listing pages') and ensure the correct root URL is specified. This overrides the default behavior where paginated pages canonicalize to themselves.
