Hey there, Thank you for this response. Quick question though. I'm due to upgrade to 7.1 since my site is a bit outdated. I've gone and built the new site, but before I transition it I wanted to find out if this would theoretically fix my SEO issues. I have done what you mentioned with screaming frog and it returned a long list of issues which I have zero clue how to fix. See attached.

Hi there, About 6 months ago I updated my portfolio site, duplicating pages in the process to try and match the template throughout. In doing so it appears I completely destroyed the SEO of my website, and I'm having a really challenging time getting it back on Google. Currently it is not listed, displaying a number of errors (see attached). I am due to upgrade to 7.1, so as a fix-all I rebuilt the website there. But before I transition my URL over, I wanted to check that doing so would in fact fix my situation, or if I need to fix it at the source first, in my existing website, before transitioning. If it's the latter, I would love some tips on how to correct the situation that I've found myself in. I am unfortunately pretty ignorant when it comes to this side of web design, as you can probably tell. I've provided some screenshots to add some clarity.

I've had a portfolio website made through Squarespace for close to 5 years, but I recently discovered that about 6 months ago it abruptly dropped off Google. The timing aligns with when I did some updates to the website, which involved me duplicating pages and dropping new content in them to keep the look + feel consistent throughout the site. That's the only real thing I can think of that might have triggered the SEO to get funky, but I'm at a loss for how to remedy it. I ran it through Google Search console and was hit with this message: "Search Console has identified that your site is affected by 3 Page indexing issue(s). The following issues were found on your site. Top Issues Alternate page with proper canonical tag Page with redirect Not found (404)" Any tips on how to get this back on track? Would like to avoid rebuilding the site from the ground up.
