AI Rankia · Content Hub

A keyword cannibalization report built from your real Google searches

Content Hub reads your Search Console, finds searches where two of your pages show up, and says with a number whether they really compete, and what to do about it.

Cannibalization tab of the Content Hub Action Center for airankia.com: one pair of Spanish blog articles sharing 2 of 66 searches and 48 of 406 impressions (12%), level 12 of 100, verdict They do not cannibalize each other, with the actions Redirect, They do not compete and Link one from the other. — Our own site: two articles share two searches, but only 12 % of their impressions overlap. Verdict: they don't cannibalize.

The rule

Thresholds you can check

28 daysOf Search Console searches, page by page, rescanned weekly

Top 20Two of your URLs must both rank here, same language, non-brand

40 %Shared impressions from which two pages cannibalize each other, if Google already picked one

IncludedNo credits per scan. Content Hub is included from the Brand plan ($349/mo)

How it works

From two URLs on one search to one decision

Several of your pages on one search is not always a problem. The scan measures how much they really overlap.

Read Search Console
Every search with 2+ of your URLs in the top 20 over the last 28 days.

Measure the overlap
One row per pair: shared searches, shared impressions and a 0–100 level.

One recommendation per pair. You redirect, queue an internal-link suggestion, or mark that they don’t compete.

What you get

Three signals, one tab

They compete (Search Console)

A verdict with the number behind it

The level is the share of both pages’ impressions that come from searches where both appear. Under 15 %, leave them. From 40 %, and if Google already picked a winner, redirect.

“Which searches” lists every shared query, with a 90-day chart per page
Prompt-style searches (9+ words) can be hidden from the list

Keep an eye on themCheck again in 4 weeks
They cannibalize each otherRedirect the loser to the winner

From 40 % it is cannibalization only if Google already picked one: the other gets under 30 % of the shared impressions. Otherwise, keep an eye on them. Searches count from 20 impressions; a pair whose shared searches are all long prompts never goes past “Keep an eye on them”.

The rule as the code applies it. The dot is our own pair from the screenshot above: 12 %, so no. The panel's legend (low < 20, high ≥ 50) only colors the level number, the same in all three signals; the verdict uses these cutoffs.

Google prefers another page

When the right page doesn’t even show

For each article’s main keyword we read the Google top 10 already saved. If another of your pages shows up, especially when the article’s own doesn’t, the row tells you which one Google chose and where each one sits.

Recommends redirecting it, or changing the article’s keyword

Example data. Search Console can't show this case: the topic's own page doesn't appear at all.

Repeated content

Pages that say the same thing

We strip the template that repeats on every page, then measure how much of one page’s own text is in the other. From 25 % it counts as a copy, and so does a shared, near-identical block of 300+ words. Recomputed every week.

Repeated blocks too: the same table or paragraph on 2+ pages
“See the parts that are copied” shows the exact passages

Repeated content signal for airankia.com: no pending copied pairs and 5 repeated blocks, such as pricing tables found on 2 to 4 pages, each with word count, pages where it appears, what to do and Mark as intended. — Our own site: no copied pairs, but 5 blocks (mostly pricing tables) repeated on 2 to 4 pages. Zoomed: one pricing table, 85 words, on 4 pages. The advice: leave it on one and link to it from the others.

Redirect

Redirects that check first

A redirect goes through Cloudflare or the WordPress plugin. It is blocked on a loop or a target that doesn’t return 200; chains point to the final URL. The post goes to draft; nothing is deleted.

Your call

“They do not compete”, with a reason

Dismiss a pair with a note. The weekly scan keeps it dismissed if it shows up again, and you can restore it.

Languages

Translations are never merged

/es/ and /en/ versions of a page are not compared: Google shows each user their language (Google on localized versions).

Before writing

Planned topics, checked in the map

The topical map compares planned topics by meaning, then by shared Google top 10 (40 %+ is a clash). 150 credits per scan.

Limits

What it can’t tell you

It needs Search Console. Without it connected, the main signal stays empty. Only Google knows which of your pages show up for each search.
Small sites see little. A search needs 20+ impressions in 28 days and two of your pages in the top 20 to count.
Up to 200 groups per scan. It reads the first 20,000 rows (search × page) that Google returns, in its default order, by clicks; only then keeps the 200 searches with the most impressions. A very large site sees its top 200, not every overlap.
It proposes; you decide. Nothing is redirected or merged without a person clicking it.
Linking needs a Content Hub article. “Link one from the other” queues an internal-link suggestion that you apply in Internal Links. One of the two pages must be a Content Hub article with text; otherwise you add the link by hand.
Redirects only on your brand’s sites. The domain must be one of the brand’s, from its topical map or its articles. Any other site is refused.
Brand searches are skipped on purpose. Detected by your domain name. A brand name that differs from the domain can slip through.
The other signals need Content Hub articles. “Google prefers another page” uses the top 10 saved for each topic of your map. “Repeated content” compares your published Content Hub articles, and your other pages only if the internal-linking inventory has them.
It won’t fix a weak page. Merging two thin pages gives you one thin page. The verdict is about overlap, not quality.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is keyword cannibalization?

Two or more pages of the same site competing for the same search, so neither ranks as well as one page would. It only matters when it costs you traffic; several pages for one search is often fine.

How do I find keyword cannibalization?

In Search Console, filter one query and open Pages. Content Hub does it in one scan over 28 days: every non-brand search with 20+ impressions and two of your same-language pages in the top 20 (up to 200 groups, most impressions first), and measures how much the pages overlap.

Is ranking with two pages for the same keyword bad?

Not always. Ahrefs calls it a problem only when it hurts organic performance. Our own example above: two articles share a search, but only 12 % of impressions, so the verdict is no.

How do you fix keyword cannibalization?

Merge into the stronger page and 301 the other (Google on consolidating URLs), change one page's target search, or link one from the other when both serve different intents.

Is there a free keyword cannibalization checker?

Yes: our free checker, no account. Paste Search Console rows that have query and page together (API or Looker Studio; the standard Performance export splits them), or a list of URLs and searches. Content Hub runs a similar check, with its own rule, on your connected property every week.
