I'm not familiar with the word cannibalized keyword. Feel free to educate me.

When your website has multiple pages that target the same keyword. It doesn't help your ranking when you do this.

I'm not familiar with the word cannibalized keyword. Feel free to educate me.

An example of this is when you have two blogs about "best running shoes", search engines do not know which to prioritize, leading to lower rankings for both pages.

I see, so how do you fix this issue?

 

[Owen Wilson]

Audit your content and find overlapping topics. Either you change the topic of one or just delete it outright.

Keyword cannibalization happens when multiple pages on your site target the same keyword, and they end up competing against each other in search results. Instead of boosting your rankings, it confuses search engines about which page to prioritize. This can dilute your SEO efforts and hurt your overall visibility. The fix? Make sure each page has a clear focus with unique keywords so they complement each other instead of fighting for attention!
