What is Cannibalisation?
When two or more pages on a site
are competing to rank for a term or
group of terms
“Why are our pages competing?”
Google isn’t clear which page should
be the ranking page

What’s at stake?
Ultimately, money
But also traffic, authority & brand
awareness
How to identify it
“We don’t know if we are
cannibalising ourselves?”
Start looking at keywords you would
expect your site to rank for
86
This can be manually
To see if you have multiple pages ranking or if the ranking page
switches
87
Or you can use Google Search Console
88
Search for a query you’d expect to rank for
89
And look at clicks and impressions...
90
And focus in on impressions
@ArpunBhuhi
91
Start tracking your priority keywords in a rank tracker
@ArpunBhuhi
92
Or you can create a report
@ArpunBhuhi
93
Think about your data source
Best to use GSC data & Big
Query
94
Luckily, I know a guy
@dom_woodman
“Ok, we know we have an issue”
Get your priority keywords in a rank
tracker
97
We recommend GetSTAT
Make sure you have tracked at least 2 weeks worth of data.
@ArpunBhuhi
Export rankings over multiple days
99
You want enough data to find trends
3 months worth of data
pull weekly ranking data
100
You want enough data to find trends
2 weeks of data
pull daily data
101
Map out the results in a sheet
Map out the ranking pages per keyword.
Pull search volume for keywords.
@ArpunBhuhi
102
Map out the switching
We want to see how many times the ranking page switches.
@ArpunBhuhi
103
Here is a close up for those at the back
The final column counts the number of times the ranking page
switches over for a keyword.
@ArpunBhuhi
Export a multiple rankings report
105
And pull this data
Cross reference keywords that both switch and have pages rank
simultaneously for.
@ArpunBhuhi
Start analysing
107
You should be able to prioritise
Look at which keywords are cannibalising the most and also have
high search volume.
@ArpunBhuhi
108
And prioritise those that are also ranking simultaneously
Kill 2 birds with one stone.

How to fix it
111
There are 3 different approaches
Optimisation Indexability Consolidation
You can pick and choose
113
What do we mean by “optimisation”
Meta data
On-page
content
Creation of new
pages
Internal
linking
114
What do we mean by “indexability”
Canonicals Noindex Redirects
115
What do we mean by “consolidation”
Combining pages to make a mega page
“Well how do we know what the right
solution is?”
Finding the answer to what your
users want will guide you
It all comes down to intent
119
Informational Preferential Transactional Navigational
@ArpunBhuhi
If you don’t meet intent,
you won’t rank
Understanding the risk will help you
create actions
121
How to understand the risk?
Pull data from
122
Pull the following metrics
Organic and all
channel sessions
per page
Clicks and
impression per
query per page
@ArpunBhuhi
123
And pull these metrics
Organic and all channel
transactions or revenue per
page
@ArpunBhuhi
124
125
Consolidate the two pages
And redirect
126
The weaker (organically)
page could be used for PPC
or social
127
In which case, canonicalise
or noindex
Make it actionable
129
Use a ticket-like approach

I am not claiming the recovery was
solely down to cannibalisation
Priority keywords that were
cannibalising heavily
We performed a few rounds of this
audit
Looking at the top 20 keywords when
they came to us
15 were branded
5 non-branded
Looking at the top 20 keywords now
8 are branded
12 non-branded
10 of the 12 non-branded previously
cannibalised
136,020 more clicks
1.6 million more impressions
Improved by 7 positions
142
Cannibalisation
Internal linking
Index bloat
Content audits
Schema review
Thin content
Keyword
mapping
143
We were working with a great team
144
Rewarded in the December Core
Update
145
79% of keywords reviewed no longer
cannibalise
146
Fixing cannibalisation enabled the
site to see huge recovery
