--- title: "Detecting Cannibalization" description: "Resolving internal conflicts that hurt your rankings." --- **User Question:** *"Are any of my pages competing with each other for the same terms?"* Keyword cannibalization occurs when multiple pages on your site target the same query, confusing Google and diluting your ranking power. ## Step 1: Broad Scan The agent scans the entire site for queries where multiple URLs rank in the top 20. **Agent Logic:** * Call `detect_cannibalization` with a lookback of 30 days. * The tool identifies queries where "Page A" and "Page B" both have significant impression share. ## Step 2: Conflict Analysis The agent evaluates the "Conflict Score" provided by the tool. **Agent Logic:** * High Conflict (Score > 0.7): Both pages get similar clicks/impressions. Google is actively swapping them. * Low Conflict: One page dominates, but another "drifts" in occasionally. ## Step 3: Resolution Path The agent analyzes the intent of both pages to suggest a fix. **Agent Logic:** * If Page A is a blog post and Page B is a product page: "Update Page A to link to Page B as the primary authority." * If both are similar blog posts: "Consolidate Page B into Page A and set up a 301 redirect." ## Example Outcome: > "Query: **'mcp vs rest api'** > * **Conflict Score:** 0.85 > * **Pages:** `/blog/mcp-overview` and `/documentation/protocol-comparison` > * **Finding:** Both pages are ranking at positions 4 and 5. This is likely splitting your click-through rate. > * **Recommendation:** Move the technical comparison from the blog post into the documentation page, and redirect the blog post to the documentation."
