GLOSSARY TERM
What is Keyword Cannibalization?
Definition
When multiple pages on your website compete for the same keyword or search query, confusing search engines about which page to rank and splitting your authority across multiple URLs.
Why it Matters for AI Search
Cannibalization causes none of your pages to rank well, instead of one page ranking highly. The fix is to consolidate content, use canonical tags, or differentiate page intent. Our SEO Checker flags potential cannibalization issues automatically.
