If you’re running a Salla store and wondering why your SEO rankings aren’t improving, the culprit might be hiding in plain sight. Missing canonical tags (rel=”canonical” tag) are often overlooked.
But before we dive into the fix, let’s take a step back.
Understanding the platform you’re working with is just as important as solving the issue.
If you haven’t heard of it yet, Salla.sa is one of the leading eCommerce platforms in the Arab world, specifically built for Arabic-speaking entrepreneurs and businesses. It allows anyone to create and manage an online store without needing technical skills.
Here’s why many sellers choose Salla:
- A fully Arabic user interface and support system.
- Easy product and payment setup.
- Built-in features for marketing, shipping, and inventory.
- Integration with major tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel.
In short, it’s a Shopify-like platform made for the needs of the local market.
But like many closed platforms, Salla has some SEO limitations. That’s where ClickRank comes in to bridge the gap and give you full control over technical SEO, including fixing missing canonical tags.
Let’s break it down so it’s crystal clear.
Duplicate content is one of the most dangerous silent killers of eCommerce SEO.
Here’s why it matters more than you think.
When Google sees multiple versions of your product or category pages, such as filters, pagination, or tracking parameters, it gets confused. As a result, it splits ranking power and may not index the version you care about most.
This is where most Salla stores lose valuable traffic.
But here’s the good news. You can fix it in one click using ClickRank.

What Are Canonical Tags, and Why Should Salla Store Owners Care?
Canonical tags tell search engines,
“This is the main version of this page. Please ignore the duplicates.”
Still not sure why this matters?
Here’s what they do for your SEO:
- Consolidate page authority to a single URL.
- Ensure the right pages rank in search results.
- Guide Google properly through product filters and variants.
Without them, your rankings suffer silently.
You’re essentially letting Google index whatever version it prefers. And that is rarely the one you want showing up in search.
Now let’s look at how to fix this.
