Comment (by stevegibson12):

 I'd like to propose making this a higher priority as it is adversely
 affecting SEO results. I discovered Google is returning the shorter,
 inaccurate and incomplete URL rather than the real one.

 https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/108185/google-is-
 including-a-wrong-misleading-url-in-search-results-for-my-wordpress

 The URL example.com/book is returned in Google search, when that's
 actually to a blog post for a site called Bookeo.

 People clicking on /book think they're about to book an appointment or
 similar. This is totally misleading.

 Will try some of the workarounds posted, and thanks for your
 consideration.
