I received four messages from the Google Search Console Team over the last two days. Two of these where for my site (https://pideja.ca) and two others for a site I manage.

What do these messages tell me? What, if anything should I do?

A Google search came up with this

Do you have pages that have the same content?

Hi Rod,

The pideja.ca site is a photo-database of stage productions I documented since 1989 so, in a way, there are many pages with similar content. The other site I manage is an artist’s site that has a few pages like an “about”, “bio”, “contact” and others. Among these, of course, there are pages illustrating his work.So, I guess you could say they are similar.
Thanks for the link…I will read it and try to make sens of it.
