Existing site rule
Existing intent collision
An existing page is known to target the same query.
Last updated
Trigger
When this rule appears
A connected source provides target intent and it matches the planned page.
Why it matters
Decide what changes next
Read this finding as evidence about the affected page, not as a verdict on the whole site. A Review finding needs a decision; a Blocked finding should be addressed before the page moves forward. Coverage findings mean the check is incomplete, not that the page passed.
Next action
How to resolve it
Merge, retarget, or otherwise resolve ownership of the query before publishing.
