is this keyword cannibalization?

suppose you have 2 keywords for which you want to write articles

1. best car wheels 2500 search volume.e
2. best car wheels in Ecuador 1300 search volume
assuming your article is on Spanish
will you merge this 2 keyword in 1 article or you will write separate article for each keywords ? in the latter will it cause keyword cannibalization ?

both will work! If you want to rank the 2nd higher you should separate it. But 1 page can rank multiple keywords so you might want to merge into 1. It depends on your product or what kind of article your viewers want to see. Keyword cannibalization only happens when the contents are not so different. The 1st keyword you mention is mostly about shape,brand, price of car wheels. The 2nd is about which location in Ecuador has the best car wheels or most popular in Ecuador. So in this case you should separate it.

I think it is fine but often I see that if the keyword is about geo location it causes cannibalisation and your page will rank for for the local geo keyword. The reason I suppose is because there is less competition for Equador than for the general keyword.

Thanks. Thats what I want. I want the first page (without Ecuador) appear when people search on Spanish , without mentioning geo. And second page (with mentioning ecuador) when they mention geo
