Search Queries with Multiple Landing Pages

Priority: Low

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause

When multiple pages rank for the same query, Google may struggle to decide which is the most authoritative. This can result in none of the pages performing well. It can also create inconsistent user experiences and missed opportunities for content consolidation.

How do you fix it

Review all landing pages ranking for the query. If they serve similar purposes, consider consolidating them into a single, authoritative page. If each serves a distinct user intent, differentiate their content and metadata more clearly to reduce internal competition.

What is the positive impact

Resolving overlap improves the authority of the preferred landing page, increases its likelihood of ranking higher, and provides a more focused user experience. This can lead to better click-through and engagement metrics.

How to fetch the data for this report template

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

query GetReportStatForCrawl(
$crawlId: ObjectID!
$reportTemplateCode: String!
$after: String
) {
getReportStat(
input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
) {
crawlSearchQueries(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
nodes {
searchQuery
primaryLandingPageUrl
clicks
impressions
ctr
position
searchQueryRelevance
landingPagesCount

}
totalCount
pageInfo {
