Adding custom canonicals.

[Mattfrombox]

Hi, 

We have a requirement to add custom canonicals to our Magento 2 site. In WordPress each page has a custom canonical area which is great when working on duplicate content. 

I have the Magento canonicals set up correctly but they are automatically generated which means I will have duplicate content issues. 

Is there any way around this?

Don't mean to be annoying but I am assuming that the silence on this one shows that there is no way of doing this. We will go live with duplicate content in place.

Hey, apologies for lack of response. 

Here are a few of blog posts around native M2 functionality for SEO and canonical urls:

Native Magento 2 functionality doesn't meet your exact requirements however Mageworkx have built a module for it which you can get on the Marketplace - https://marketplace.magento.com/mageworx-module-seosuiteultimate.html

 *Disclaimer, I've never tried or tested this module. 

Hope that helps!
