One URL is the page. Copies point at it.

Example bespoke sites

Meridian Room is a designed example of a practice website. Meridian Room is one designed example, not five duplicate town sites.

Time enough to say what the trouble actually is

Individual psychotherapy, usually weekly. £85 for 50 minutes. Thursdays in Leeds, and online on the other days.

The first meetings · £85

To see whether this work fits

These meetings are not an assessment, and you are not asked to send a history. A loss, a relationship, or work are ordinary places to begin.

Thursdays in the Leeds room. Other days online across the UK. Your name, your email, and which you prefer.

canonicals on a therapy site, ready for the four answer engines.

We focus on crawlable HTML and structured data for the canonicals on a therapy site. Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity are where that service shows up. The design is the easy part.

• Google

  Search · AI Overviews · Gemini

  Google can retrieve the canonicals on a therapy site because canonicals on a therapy site puts one preferred URL for each page, and no copied service across towns you do not use in ordinary HTML, where a crawler can read it without a script.

  • Googlebot
  • Google-Extended

• OpenAI

  ChatGPT

  ChatGPT search reads the page once OAI-SearchBot fetches it, where the canonicals on a therapy site sentence a model can cite is one preferred URL for each page, and no copied service across towns you do not use, not a broader label.

  • OAI-SearchBot
  • GPTBot
  • ChatGPT-User

• Anthropic

  Claude

  Claude indexes the page as text: structured data for canonicals on a therapy site repeats one preferred URL for each page, and no copied service across towns you do not use and does not add a claim the page does not show.

  • Claude-SearchBot
  • ClaudeBot
  • Claude-User

• Perplexity

  Perplexity

  Perplexity can cite the canonicals on a therapy site because the next public link from canonicals on a therapy site is a real page on this site, beside one preferred URL for each page, and no copied service across towns you do not use.

  • PerplexityBot
  • Perplexity-User

Under the surface

canonicals on a therapy site, shown as data.

This block is on the page because duplicate URLs split a small practice site, so the single preferred address is shown because that is the page we want quoted. That is the layer we focus on and care about, and the sample matches the canonicals on a therapy site a person can read.

{
  "@type": "Service",
  "name": "canonicals on a therapy site",
  "serviceType": "Canonicals for therapy websites",
  "description": "one preferred URL for each page, and no copied service across towns you do not use"
}

Questions

What is a canonical?

The URL we prefer for that page, stated on the page.

Do I need one on every page?

Yes. Each page names itself, unless it is a duplicate pointing at the original.

Will this stop duplicate problems by itself?

The tag, the redirect and the links have to agree. The tag alone is not a trick.
