Do your pages compete with each other for the same query?
Two pages with the same title or meta description are two candidates for one query, and search engines can only pick one — often the wrong one. Bulk imports and template defaults scatter duplicates across a site without anyone noticing.
Compares titles and meta descriptions across a sample of key pages. Nothing is stored.
How this check works
Shipwork reads the title and meta description of a sample of your key pages and reports any that collide. Duplicate titles make pages compete for the same query; duplicate descriptions waste the snippet. Both are common after bulk imports and template changes.
Questions
- Why do duplicate titles matter?
- They make two of your pages compete for one query, and search engines may rank the less relevant one.
- What causes duplicates?
- Bulk imports, template defaults, product variants sharing a parent title, and untitled pages are the usual sources.
- Should every page have a unique description?
- Yes. The meta description is your search snippet; a shared one wastes the chance to match the query.
