How the analysis works

The engine groups ranking keywords by intent, maps their URLs, then compares best rankings and estimated traffic. It separates genuine overlap from mere wording similarity before recommending keep, merge, redirect or reposition.

02

Data analyzed

  • Ranking organic keywords
  • Ranking URLs
  • Intent proximity
  • Exact query overlap
  • Best rank by page
  • Estimated traffic by page
  • Performance gap between URLs
03 · DEMONSTRATION EXAMPLE

Real-world example

Two guides rank for close variants of “SEO audit”: one ranks sixth and captures most traffic, while the other remains beyond position 30.

Conflicting pages

Leading page
Position 6
Weak page
Position 34
VerdictREDIRECTMain reason

Intent overlaps and the second page contributes almost no distinct visibility.

04

How should you interpret the result?

A detected conflict does not always require a merge. Separate pages can remain when they answer distinct intents. The recommendation is strongest when overlap and performance gaps agree.

05

Analysis limits

  • Grouping uses currently observed keywords.
  • New or low-visibility pages may be missing.
  • Final editorial intent needs human review.
  • Redirects require checks on links and conversions.

Frequently asked questions

What is SEO cannibalization?

It occurs when several URLs on one site compete for sufficiently similar intent, splitting signals and making the target page unclear.

Should pages always be merged?

No. Merge when content answers the same need; differentiate pages that serve genuinely different intents.

When is a redirect recommended?

When overlap is real, one page clearly dominates and the weak page retains almost no unique traffic.

Which page should I keep?

Usually the page with the best ranking and traffic, after checking content quality, conversions and inbound links.

Is one shared phrase enough to prove a conflict?

No. The engine looks for coherent groups and compares URLs and performance. Similar wording alone is insufficient.

Should I change URLs immediately?

No. Review content, conversions and internal linking first. The recommendation structures the decision but does not replace editorial validation.
