🎯 What is cannibalization?

Cannibalization happens when two or more pages on your site target the same or very similar keywords. Google has to choose which page to rank — and often ranks neither well. The result: split authority, lower rankings, and confused searchers landing on the wrong page.

📋 What to paste in

Paste one page per line. Works with full URLs, URLs + titles (separated by |), slugs like /my-page/, or just page titles. You can export URLs from Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, or your sitemap. The more context you give (title + URL), the more accurate the analysis.

🔴 High severity — act now

Pages almost certainly competing for the same keyword. Common examples: /best-seo-tools/ and /top-seo-tools/, or /seo-for-beginners/ and /beginner-seo-guide/. Fix by consolidating into one strong page or 301 redirecting the weaker one to the stronger.

🟡 Medium severity — investigate

Pages with topical overlap but possibly serving different search intent. Before merging, Google the keywords and check what type of content ranks. If the intent is different (e.g. one is informational, one is a comparison), differentiation is better than consolidation.

🟢 Low severity — monitor

Mild topical overlap that is unlikely to hurt rankings right now. Flag these and revisit in 3–6 months. If one page starts losing rankings while the other gains, it may have escalated to a real issue worth fixing.

🔧 Fix options explained

Consolidate — merge both into one stronger page.
Redirect — 301 the weaker URL to the stronger one.
Differentiate — rewrite one page to target a clearly different angle.
Canonicalise — add a canonical tag if both pages need to exist.
Keep — overlap is minor, no action needed yet.

💡 Pro tip: Before fixing cannibalization, check Google Search Console to see which page is actually getting impressions for the overlapping keyword. That's your "winner" — consolidate into that one, or redirect the loser to it.
