# Fix keyword cannibalization and win back lost traffic

**Recover the traffic you lose when your own pages compete — fixed in one click.**

When two of your articles chase the same search, they compete with each other — and both lose. Skribra spots these hidden conflicts and tells you exactly how to fix each one, so you reclaim rankings and traffic without risky guesswork.

## The problem

Cannibalization is invisible until you go looking — it just shows up as pages that should rank but don't. Finding it means [auditing your whole site](https://skribra.com/glossary/content-audit), and fixing it wrong (deleting the page that was actually winning) can cost you traffic you'll never get back.

## How it works

### Find traffic you're leaving on the table

Skribra pinpoints the pages competing for the same searches — plus pages earning nothing at all — so you know exactly where traffic is being wasted.

### Get the right fix, not just the problem

For each conflict you get a clear recommendation — combine, [redirect](https://skribra.com/glossary/301-redirect), rewrite, or remove — with the reasoning spelled out, so you're never guessing.

### Fix it safely in one click

You approve each change and Skribra handles it, keeping your links and redirects intact so the winning page keeps its authority.

## What you get

- Reclaim rankings split between competing pages
- Stop low-value pages dragging down your site
- Skip the manual content audit
- Every change approved by you — nothing risky

## FAQ

### What is keyword cannibalization, in plain terms?

It's when more than one of your pages goes after the same search, so they compete with each other in Google instead of one page ranking strongly — which costs you clicks.

### How will fixing it help my traffic?

Combining or untangling competing pages [concentrates your authority](https://skribra.com/glossary/link-equity) on a single strong page, which typically ranks better and recovers the clicks that were being split.

### Is it safe — could I lose content I want?

Yes, it's safe. Skribra only recommends fixes; you approve each one, and it preserves redirects so you don't lose existing SEO value.
