I am new to website creation and have recently came across the importance of SEO and canonical tags when creating a website. I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about implementing this or if DNN has their own way of doing canonical tags that I am missing.

Hello Joel:

This topic is well-documented in this somewhat old blog post, but it's still relevant.  

In addition to the site-level setting, you can add your canonical tags using the page settings for individual pages. 

Page Settings > Advanced > SEO > Page Header Tags

This isn't done for you at the page-level automatically, because some modules you put onto the page would end up having bad SEO if you were to do that.  For example, a blog, news, gallery, and any other listing module could end up reporting the same URL for all of the listed content, regardless of URL.
