Search Console workflow

GSC Cannibalization Finder

Paste a Google Search Console query-and-page CSV export to find queries where several URLs split clicks, impressions, or ranking visibility. The output is a review queue with practical next actions, not an automatic merge or redirect instruction.

Paste Query And Page CSV

Export Search Console with Query and Page dimensions, then paste the CSV here. The finder groups rows by query and flags cases where more than one URL earns meaningful visibility for the same query.

Query and Page are required. Clicks, Impressions, CTR, and Position make the priority score more useful.

No cannibalization patterns found

Paste a query-and-page export, lower the thresholds, or use a longer date range if you expected overlap. A clean result only means the pasted rows did not match these rules.

How To Use This Finder

Export Search Console data with Query and Page dimensions for a stable date range. Paste the CSV into the tool. It aggregates duplicate query-page rows, groups pages by query, and flags cases where a secondary URL earns enough clicks, click share, or close ranking visibility to deserve review.

Start with the high priority rows. For each query, open the top pages and the live SERP. Decide whether the pages answer the same intent or whether they should be differentiated. The safest first move is often internal linking and clearer titles, not redirects.

How To Interpret The Result

Split winner means no page is clearly winning the query. Close-position overlap means several pages rank near each other and may confuse the internal targeting. Secondary page stealing clicks means one URL should probably support the primary page through internal links or clearer intent separation.

Limitations

Search Console exports do not show every SERP feature, backlink value, conversion value, or canonical signal. A query can legitimately map to multiple pages when intent is mixed. Do not bulk redirect or noindex pages from this report alone.

FAQ

Does this tool connect to Google Search Console?

No. Paste a Search Console CSV export into the browser. The tool does not use Google OAuth and does not upload your CSV.

What export should I use?

Use a Search Console export with Query and Page dimensions. Clicks, Impressions, CTR, and Position help the finder score overlap and prioritize review.

Does a flagged query always mean keyword cannibalization?

No. A flagged query means multiple URLs earned meaningful visibility for the same query. The pages may still serve different intents, so review the SERP and page purpose before merging anything.

Should I redirect every competing page?

No. Redirects are only appropriate after a manual review of intent, backlinks, conversions, indexation, and replacement coverage. Many cases only need clearer internal links or title differentiation.
