Intent Matching or similar slugs?

Re-evaluation is a bit of a big word for Google – but a new update can cause pages to cannibalize
>I also found that I have overlapping URLs targeting very similar intent, plus several year-stamped URLs
Can you share the slugs?
>refreshing year-stamped content, noindexing low-value tag/archive pages
Google doesnt care about content age/freshnes or when it was last updated.
If you change wrod-keyword-segment-2024 to word-keyword-segment-2026 – you’re creating a new page
>noindexing low-value tag/archive pages,
If its not getting clicks but cannabalization can be hard to diagnoze.
You can also do a removal request/noindex and see if it changes anything
