Hi Everyone,

I have a year-old website now I want to move it to a new domain so I have applied 301 redirection. It's successfully applied but now I am facing the problem with indexing. Google Search Console displays the error "Page is not indexed: Duplicate, Google chose a different canonical than the user". Please let me know how I can tackle this situation.

Gotta add a real="canonical" tag to the head of the new and up to date pages
 
Check the meta canonical values in the page sources,
Probably still containing the old domain instead, which might need replacement,

A simple way to get all of the urls replaced is using the "Simple Search Replace" plugin,
Make sure to include the "https://" and slash ('/') after the domains URLs,
Or you can get it done with a simple SQL query

You big handsome fella... Just saved me potential days of potential depression for one project alone,

Going to look into SQL fixes later.

Thanks for the compliment haha, really appreciated!
Just PM me in case you need anything ^^
 
Make sure the 301 redirects are correctly implemented ... also ensure that the canonical tags point to the correct URLs on the

new domain...Submit a sitemap for new domain to Google Search Console that will help Google to discover and index the

new URLs more efficiently ....

Thanks for the info never thought about SQL query and need to learn asap!
 
As everyone said, check your canonical tags point to the correct new domain, update internal links throughout the site, submit an updated XML sitemap to Google
 
Make sure both the old and new domains are added to your Google Search Console account and properly verified. Check that your canonical tags are set correctly, pointing to the new domain. Verify that your 301 redirects are in good shape. Updating your sitemap.xml file is another step. Include URLs from the new domain and submit the updated sitemap to Google Search Console for indexing. Use the "Fetch as Google" tool to submit your new URLs for indexing. This can speed up the crawling process. Constantly check indexing status. Also, make sure there are no conflicting robots meta tags on your pages. They should allow search engines to index the content without interference.

301 redirect is correctly implemented and canonical pointing to correct but is taking old website as selected URL. The sitemap submission is already done

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already updated the sitemap and robots.txt. Tried a few things hopefully it will index

What's the Google selected canonical then?
Probably something else causing the problem, especially after an URL change
 
If you've changed your website address and used a 301 redirect, make sure all your pages have the right tags to help Google understand the changes. If things still seem off, you can ask Google to take another look through the Search Console.
 
check the 301 redirects are properly redirected. check both the domains are properly verified by the GSC. Update the sitemap by adding URLs from the New domain. Have a look at the canonical tags whether they are pointing to the new domain. Also update your sitemap.xml
