Help - Google has indexed some URLs both with and without trailing slash

Hi everyone,

I launched a new site (a directory site) a few days ago but for some reason Google has indexed some of my pages twice with both a trailing slash / at the end of the URL and without.

The URLs without the trailing slash at the end of the URL automatically redirect to the URLs with / at the end. The URLs should end with a / as per my sitemap.

Does anyone know why this has happened?

Do I need to do something to fix this?

Or will Google eventually automatically remove the URLs without a / at the end from SERPs?

EDIT: Since posting this it seems the / has been removed from the urls in my sitemap.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
