Keyword Cannibalization: When Multiple Pages Compete for the Same Intent
Cannibalization is not simply two pages mentioning the same phrase. The problem is overlapping search purpose without a clear reason for separate destinations.
Common warning signs
- Two pages alternate positions for the same query family.
- Both pages cover nearly identical outcomes.
- Internal links do not make the hierarchy clear.
- The same SERP URLs rank for the terms each page targets.
Fix the page boundary
Merge pages when the intent is effectively the same. Differentiate them when users genuinely need separate outcomes. Then update internal links and canonicals as appropriate.
