Once you recognize the keyword cannibalization problem, fixing it can be easy. Identifying the cause is easy by creating a keyword matrix. Begin with creating a list of important URLs and their associated keywords.
Once you’ve listed down the URLs and related keywords, run down the list to suspect identical keywords. If you identify any, especially, across core pages, you’re probably experiencing keyword cannibalization.
Similarly, keyword cannibalization can also occur if page meta titles and descriptions are targeting an identical niche keyword. However, the best way to identify keyword cannibalization is to use SEO tools like SEMRush.
