Keyword cannibalization occurs when multiple pages on your site compete for the same keywords.

Keyword cannibalization is indeed when multiple pages on a single website target and rank for the exact same or very similar keywords. This can dilute your site's authority, as search engines may struggle to determine which page is most relevant, potentially leading to lower rankings for all competing pages. Instead of one strong ranking page, you might have several weaker ones, none of which perform optimally. This scenario often arises from a lack of clear content strategy or insufficient keyword mapping.
