Executable roadmaps, action plans, and QA for SEO and content teams - intent mapping, content calendars, and dissolving the keyword cannibalization that quietly caps your rankings.
✓Your team publishes consistently but can’t tell which keywords need which page or format
✓Multiple pages compete for the same keywords - and nobody owns the fix
✓You want quarterly clarity: what to write, why, and how to know it’s working

The Silent Ranking Killer
Keyword cannibalization is an anchor on your pages.
When two or three pages compete for the same keyword, Google can't decide which one to prioritize - so none of them reach their potential. They sit at position 14, 15, 20, weighed down by each other.
Dissolving it means deciding which page matters most for which keyword - and cutting the anchor. That's often the fastest ranking win a team can get, and most teams don't know how to do it.
A calendar built from intent data - every piece mapped to a keyword, page type, and funnel stage.
Keyword-to-page mapping
Which keywords deserve a blog post, a comparison, a landing page - so intent and format always match.
Cannibalization audit & fix plan
Find the overlapping pages, decide the winners, consolidate or differentiate the rest.
QA & team development
Review loops on briefs and drafts, plus training that levels your team up for the AI-search era.

How I actually do it
The specifics - because “best practices” is not a method.
1
Keyword-to-page ownership
Every keyword gets exactly one owning page, mapped by intent to the right format - guide, comparison, landing page. This alone dissolves most cannibalization before it starts.
2
The reoptimisation framework
Refined across 100+ page rebuilds at SmartClick: diagnose why a page decayed, decide rebuild vs. consolidate vs. redirect, and verify the recovery in the data.
3
QA gates your team runs without me
A pass/fail rubric for every brief and draft - intent match, internal links, cannibalization check - so quality stops depending on who reviewed it that week.
“Your team doesn’t need more content. It needs to know which page owns which keyword - and a system that keeps it true.”
- Davor Karafiloski
Fair questions
Do you write the content too?+
No - your team keeps the pen. I bring the system: what to write, for which keyword and intent, in what format, and the QA loop that keeps quality from drifting.
Our pages compete with each other. Can you fix that?+
That’s keyword cannibalization - and it’s one of the fastest wins available. We decide which page owns which keyword, then consolidate or differentiate the rest.
Can you train the team, not just direct it?+
Yes - the goal is always a system your team runs without me. Training and quarterly reviews are built in until that’s true.
