Lexical similarity is not enough

Words can look similar while serving different outcomes. Conversely, different wording can lead to nearly identical SERPs.

Use three checks

  1. Does the searcher want the same outcome?
  2. Do the ranking pages overlap materially?
  3. Can one page satisfy both query families without becoming incoherent?

Result

The goal is fewer, stronger pages—not a URL for every keyword variation.
