Pages are showing as no-index by GA

Hi,

You identified several issues. We have responded to them below.

A. Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical (these are tags. Do I have to add Canoncial to the tag?)
We looked at some tags like https://theelitebeautygroup.com/tag/black-hair-extensions/ and https://theelitebeautygroup.com/tag/blond-hair-extensions/.

You will note that both pages have the same content. Both tag pages contain a link to the same post: https://theelitebeautygroup.com/hair-and-makeup-services/hair-extensions/. This is probably where Google is getting upset.

To resolve the issue you can do the following:

1. Change the canonical of the tag pages to point somewhere else. Note that when you do this, the page with a different canonical will drop off in Google. This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/canonical-urls-in-wordpress-seo/

2. Add more posts and apply different tags to them. Overtime, the tag pages will begin to differentiate and you may expect duplicate content warnings to drop off.

B. Crawled – currently not indexed
Can you provide an example of a Tag page that highlights this error? We ask as we looked at a tag page like https://theelitebeautygroup.com/tag/blond-hair-extensions/ and we see nothing that would prevent it from being indexed by Google.

C. Right Version of your site in Google
Just to check, your site is: https://theelitebeautygroup.com. Can you confirm you added that exact version into your Google Search Console and submitted your sitemaps correctly? The guides below explain more:
