&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;On a company's website, there may be several times where the same or similar content is needed to inform potential consumers on a product or service.&amp;nbsp; When it comes to duplicate content, as the saying goes; less is more.&amp;nbsp; It is okay to discuss the same points of context in regard to a product or service, but the old copy/paste method is officially&amp;nbsp;a no-no.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;When this duplicate content is picked up during the Google "crawls" that it performs to rank your website, it is immediately deducting credibility from your website.&amp;nbsp; Too much duplicate information and Google stops looking all together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
