I have 2 pages that are very similar: same products but different categories.
I need both to be indexed by Google. How do I do it?

Based on everything that I know, you will have to rename at least one of the 2 products - despite the fact that everything is still the same except for the name - and I recommend doing this in such a way that is relevant to the underlying category.
For example, you are selling a hat that is unisex, but you want it to show in both mens and womens categories. For the sake of this example, let's name is "The Stack Hat."Therefore, you would have a "Men's Stack Hat" as well as a "Woman's Stack Hat". This example allowed us to take the exact same product, rename it, and ensure that it is unique and therefore will be visible within Google.
It is assumed that you would also rewrite the product description in such a way that it would prevent duplication. In the example above, "Men's" vs. "Woman's" would do the trick.
