Keyword Research
An effective keyword research plan is at the heart of every successful online strategy. For Rave or Sleep, this was particularly crucial due to their specialized niche in the EDM and festival fashion domain. Our approach for Rave or Sleep was systematic, holistic, and tailored to their business objectives.
Brainstorm “Seed” and Secondary Terms
Our first step was understanding Rave or Sleep’s unique value proposition, target audience, and goals. We initiated a brainstorming session with their team to identify “seed” terms that were central to their brand. Phrases like “festival fashion,” “EDM outfits,” and “rave clothing” emerged as primary contenders. We also pinpointed secondary terms that potential customers might use when seeking Rave or Sleep’s products.
Identify What Keywords Your Competitors Rank For
Competitive intelligence is paramount. We employed an in-depth competitor analysis to understand the keywords driving traffic to rival sites. Doing so gave us insights into potential opportunities for Rave or Sleep and helped refine our list of targeted keywords.
Ahrefs – “Terms Match,” “Related Terms,” “Search Suggestions,” and “Questions”
Ahrefs has been a formidable tool in our arsenal. We delved deep into it to refine our keyword strategy. Using Ahrefs features, we:
- Explored “Terms Match” to find keywords that matched our primary terms closely.
- Checked “Related Terms” to unearth synonymous terms or related keywords we might have missed.
- Leveraged “Search Suggestions” to find long-tail keywords that users frequently searched for.
- Lastly, “Questions” showed us potential customers’ common queries, offering avenues for content creation and addressing customer pain points directly.
At the culmination of this stage, Rave or Sleep had a comprehensive, actionable list of keywords tailored to its domain, ensuring it would reach its target audience more effectively and stand out in the saturated world of online festival fashion.

It was vital for Rave or Sleep to structure its website content logically and cater to various search intents that potential customers might have. By doing so, we aimed to provide a seamless user journey from search to site navigation.
ChatGPT
To kickstart the clustering process, we utilized ChatGPT. It enabled us to understand the semantic relationships between different keywords, especially when dealing with intricate variations in the EDM and rave clothing niche. By feeding the model our exhaustive list of keywords, we could discern patterns and groupings based on context and intent, ensuring a cohesive content structure.
Keywordcupid.io
Further refining our clusters, we employed Keywordcupid.io. With its unique algorithm, this tool helped identify overlapping keywords and visually represented how they interconnected.

Lastly, we utilized Laraseo. Known for its precision, Laraseo helped us finalize our keyword clusters, ensuring each cluster was as cohesive as possible. With its intuitive interface, we pinpointed even the minutest overlaps, guaranteeing no keyword was misplaced.
By the end of this phase, Rave or Sleep had a robust keyword architecture in place, ensuring its site was optimally structured. Every piece of content now had a clear focus, minimizing the chances of keyword cannibalization and ensuring visitors found what they were looking for.
