Why Does Google Keep Cluster Pages for Two Weeks?
Google groups similar content pages in a cluster and selects only one as canonical. The new updates guide explains that the only way to make your page leave cluster group is to publish content which is different than cluster pages.
If your new content is different than grouped pages, then it will leave the cluster quickly.
Rather than redirecting or misinformation, google wants you to fix the content on these pages to add real value.
It is best to check Google selected canonical URL to find out if it is the best page for users or not.
Google Canonical Guidance:
Google updates canonical documents in the JavaScript docs. It has updated the canonical document multiple times in recent months.
Why Canonical Guidance Matters:
If you have updated content, your pages are in the group of pages. You should know that Google has set the waiting period up to 2 weeks to fix and reevaluate the content.
After Google’s revaluation your content may get reindexed.
Conclusion:
Google has made it clear that a waiting period can take up to 2 weeks. You need to fix content to ensure that it does not match the other pages. The quicker you can edit and submit your pages, the faster they can get out of the Google cluster pages group.
