The problem

When two pages compete with each other

Keyword cannibalisation happens when several pages of the same website target the same keyword and end up competing for the search, confusing search engines and readers. You avoid it by giving each page a distinct topic and intent.

How it is solved

The most common actions

First you identify the pages in conflict, then you choose the most suitable action.

Differentiate
Give each page a different intent
Merge
Combine pages that are too similar into one
Link
Use clear internal links between pages
Redirect
Handle removed pages with redirects
Method

Prevention is better than correction

The keyword map, created in the initial audit, is the best defence: if every new page comes from an entry in the map, conflicts do not form. For websites with a lot of content, such as those of companies in Como, Brianza and Milan with large catalogues, periodic review is part of the content updates described on the SEO content page.
