One unnoticed duplicate page can push your money keyword from #1 to #11 overnight on Baidu. These five prevention systems ensure overseas brands never self-sabotage again.
1. Pre-Publish Cannibalization Gate
1.1 Mandatory URL Intent Check Before any new page goes live, run the target keyword in Baidu site:brand.cn — if >1 result exists, merge or redirect.
2. Dynamic Canonical Automation
2.1 CMS-Level Canonical Rules Configure WordPress, Shopify, or Magento to auto-set canonical to the highest-converting URL for each keyword cluster.
3. Monthly Ranking Volatility Alerts
3.1 Position Drop Triggers Set Baidu Search Console alerts: any drop >5 positions for a tracked keyword triggers immediate cannibal audit.
4. Content Team Training Framework
4.1 Keyword Ownership Matrix Assign every high-volume term to one content owner — no other team member may create pages targeting it.
