How to avoid keyword cannibalization
Keyword cannibalization occurs when pages on your site compete with each other for rankings and traffic.
When two or more pages on a website target the same keyword phrase, but are not configured properly to work together, they can end up hurting each other in search engine results (SERPs).
To prevent keyword cannibalization from happening, the best approach is to be diligent in your research and planning. If you’ve done thorough research and organized the keywords and phrases you want to target, you shouldn’t have multiple pieces of content competing for the same terms.
