Google updated the canonicalization troubleshooting guide to clarify how long it may take for Google to reflect those fixes within the Google search results. Google said “after fixing content issues, Google might hold pages in a duplicate cluster for up to two weeks.”

What was changed. Google added a whole new section of content to the top of the page specifying the timing of canonicalization fixes, i.e. up to two weeks. Google also spoke about clustering and how pages need to be different enough to be clustered or canonicalized as one.

Here is what was added:

Why we care. Knowing canonicalization fixes can take up to two weeks after Google processes your fix is good to know. This way, you don’t keep trying to make changes to the page until Google has had the full two weeks to handle your update.
