Is copying a guide small introduction and ending in every post considered duplicate content?
Posted by on May 6, 2020 at 10:06 amHi!
I’m writing a big guide about organizing weddings. I’ve created one original hub post where all the 13 different posts of the guide are linked. In every of the 13 posts there’s an introduction explaining that this specific post is part of a huge guide to how organize your wedding and a link to the hub post.
Also, at the end of every post I end up with some short recommendations, which I use in all of the 13 posts.
Could this hurt my SERPs?
Thank you!

In brief, YES.
Use SITELINER (built by COPYSCAPE) to evaluate your site and learn how much of your content is common to each page. Lower percentages of ‘common’ or shared content are better for authority and rankings.
A high percentage of common content across your website might have Google consider pages as having “thin content” and result in difficulty in ranking well.
The need for a text explanation like this on such a small number of pages is questionable and might even be irritating to surfers. Can you not think of another way to show that your content is part of a guide?
