<b>Merged 4 weak posts into 1 monster. Here's the math.</b>
Four posts on the same subtopic, each 500 words, each stuck at position 20-ish. Splitting the authority 4 ways.
Merged them:
— Picked the strongest URL as the canonical
— Folded the unique bits from the other 3 in
— 301'd the losers, kept their anchors
— Re-submitted in GSC
2,100-word page now. Positions 6 in three weeks.
Four mediocre pages beat by one focused one. Stop spreading thin.
Go consolidate.
