How Many Rainbow Colors Should Your Keyword Clusters Have?
ROYGBIV isn’t just for remembering rainbow colors – it’s your new keyword clustering strategy. Seven colors, seven keyword categories. Coincidence? We think not.
The Rainbow Keyword Method
- Red (High Priority): Your money keywords – hot, urgent, and impossible to ignore
- Orange (Commercial Intent): “Buy,” “Best,” “Review” – the sunset of purchasing decisions
- Yellow (Informational): Bright, helpful content that answers “how” and “why”
- Green (Long-tail): Natural, organic phrases that grow your traffic garden
- Blue (Brand Terms): Cool, calm, and uniquely yours
- Indigo (Local SEO): Deep, location-specific terms for nearby searchers
- Violet (Semantic Variations): The subtle shades of meaning Google loves
Pro tip: A balanced keyword strategy uses all colors of the spectrum. Too much red makes your site look aggressive. Too much violet makes it invisible. Aim for that perfect rainbow balance.
