Find queries where two of my pages compete in the SERP
Surface queries where Google is split between two URLs on your site — both lose, neither wins.
The prompt
Copy this and paste it into Claude, Cursor, or any AI client connected to your GenieSeo MCP URL.
Look at my main Search Console property and identify keyword cannibalisation: queries where two or more URLs from my site appeared in search results during the last 28 days, where each ranking URL had at least 100 impressions.
For each query (sorted by total wasted impressions descending, top 20):
1. The query.
2. Every competing URL with its position, impressions, clicks, CTR.
3. Recommendation: KEEP_BEST / MERGE_INTO_BEST / 301_TO_BEST / LEAVE_ALONE. Briefly justify.
Define "wasted impressions" as the sum of impressions on all but the highest-CTR URL for that query.
Format as Markdown.When to use it
Quarterly. Cannibalisation is one of the highest-ROI fixes in SEO because consolidating two underperforming pages into one usually beats either alone.
What you get back

- For each query: every competing URL, its position, impressions, clicks, CTR.
