Keyword-cannibalization redirect cleanup
When several old pages fight for the same search intent, consolidate the weakest ones with strategic redirects instead of letting them split authority.
Why this can grow a startup
Search decay is not always a content-quality problem. Sometimes the site teaches Google the same lesson from three different URLs and none of them wins cleanly. Redirecting overlap into the page with the best intent fit concentrates links, removes confusion, and gives the surviving page a better chance to climb again.
Source-backed example
Kapwing's 2025 landing-page recovery work included strategic redirects to fix keyword cannibalization while the team refreshed older pages instead of overproducing new ones.
