Concerns for SEO

    Hi guys,

    I did several SEO audit and all of them report issues that each testimonial is treated as a post with a unique url. As testimonials are usually short in length this counts negatively for SEO. Do you have any proposals how to deal with the issue and not harm SEO , or even improve SEO with the use of the testimonials?
    Maybe there is a way that each testimonial is not reserving a unique url?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I have no advice; I’m not an SEO expert.

    I plan to add the option to disable viewing the individual testimonials.

    Consider the Properties add-on for managing permalinks:
    https://strongplugins.com/plugins/strong-testimonials-properties/

    Or use this code snippet to disable testimonials URLs:

    /**
 * Prevent testimonial permalinks.
 */
function my_no_testimonial_permalink( $args ) {
	$args['publicly_queryable'] = false;
	$args['rewrite'] = false;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wpmtst_post_type', 'my_no_testimonial_permalink' );

/**
 * Prevent testimonial category permalinks.
 */
function my_no_testimonial_category_permalink( $args ) {
	$args['query_var'] = false;
	$args['rewrite'] = false;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wpmtst_taxonomy', 'my_no_testimonial_category_permalink' );

    After adding or removing that snippet, reset permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and simply clicking Save Changes.
