A clear definition of Canonical URL for UK business owners, with notes on why it matters and where you will see it in practice.
The preferred URL for duplicate or similar content, declared with rel=canonical.
Understanding Canonical URL helps you read reports, brief a provider, and spot claims that sound impressive but mean little. Good SEO partners explain terms like this in plain English.
If you are comparing retainers, remember that traditional agency SEO can cost around £3,000 a month within published UK ranges, while AffordSEO offers always-on automation for £99 a month with no long contracts ever. Neither model can honestly guarantee rankings.
You may see Canonical URL in a technical audit, a Search Console conversation, a content brief, or a monthly progress report. Ask for an example on your own site when a term feels abstract.
