Ever heard of the expression "Canonical Issues"? Sounds more complicated than it is. In short, it means: call a spade a spade, and a shovel a shovel. Be accurate, and don't confuse the two for one another. This is the whole wisdom underlying canonicalization.

Do you know the famous fairy tale Hansel and Gretel? Sorry - no time for tales; suffice to say that Hansel or Gretel, or both (I forget which) dropped breadcrumbs as they were walking in the forest, so they could find the way back more easily. (They had no GPS, I guess).

SEO Services : Who needs them ?
The article links on this page will give you a good indication of how sophisticated SEO can be, both in scope and depth. And yet that's only the tip of the iceberg.
SEO is not rocket science. But it's demanding and complex, requiring up-to-date know-how, an eye for detail, patience, and great accuracy. That's why good SEO Consultants will always be in demand.
An SEO Professional will either himself build a new website for the customer - applying, of course, proper Search Engine Optimization - or in turn guide the web designer to ensure the site is well prepared for impending Search Engine Optimization.
Existing websites that need optimization are often not SEO friendly. Consultants will first need to analyze such sites as they may have to be "redone", or even rebuilt from scratch.
New or pre-existing: once the site's foundation has been laid for proper SEO, the Consultant can proceed with professional optimization.
Whether on-page (organic) or off-page (SEM-related) SEO , only a quality SEO Expert can significantly raise the client site's search engine visibility and web popularity.
