Canonical definition (no unnecessary jargon)
- A short, actionable definition of Canonical.
- Where you usually see it (SEO, tracking, analytics, pages).
- What it changes for a link page in practice.
Concrete example (Korli / link in bio)
- Compare two sources (Instagram vs newsletter) with consistent reading.
- Keep a stable hierarchy, adapted by source.
- Avoid concluding from a single day of data.
What to check so you don’t misread it
- The classic trap: reading a number without context (source, timeframe, goal).
- Naming consistency (UTM conventions) when applicable.
- The link between measurement and action (what you change next).
Concrete example
Mini scenario: Canonical from Instagram
- Visitor comes from Instagram: you look at clicks on the top link.
- You compare with newsletter: priorities can differ.
- You adjust the order (one variable) and re-measure.
How it works (3 steps)
- Identify where Canonical applies (SEO, tracking, analytics).
- Tie measurement to a decision (order, copy, proof).
- Re-measure over a sufficient window before concluding.
Common mistakes
- Treating one metric as absolute truth.
- Comparing sources with different intent as if they were the same.
- Changing multiple things at once.
FAQ
What is Canonical useful for in practice?
To read results better and make better decisions (what goes first, which source converts, which landing is coherent).
Does it apply to a link-in-bio page?
Yes. As soon as you measure clicks and try to guide visitors, these concepts become very practical.
What’s the most common mistake?
Not tying the metric to an action (or acting too fast without context).
