Simpler priorities, clearer next steps
Based on early feedback, we've made some important changes to how KeywordRise helps you prioritize keywords.
Single-tier priority system
The previous two-tier labeling system (P1A, P1B, P2A, P2B) created unnecessary cognitive load when reviewing hundreds of keywords. We've simplified this to a single priority dimension with three clear levels:
P1 — Quick wins Long-tail keywords with low difficulty (KD) and high business relevance. These are your best opportunities for ranking, especially valuable for newer sites without extensive backlink profiles. We filter for stable search volume over the last 6 months to ensure you're targeting genuine demand, not temporary spikes.
P2 — Authority building Similar strategy to P1, but allows higher keyword difficulty. While these may not rank in the top 10 immediately, they help build topical authority and trustworthiness, which strengthens your site's ability to rank for other content over time.
P3 — Low priority Keywords that don't meet our criteria for either quick wins or authority building. We recommend focusing your efforts elsewhere.
This single-tier approach makes it easier to scan your keyword list and understand what to prioritize at a glance.
UI redesign: Light theme
We've redesigned the interface from dark to light theme based on user feedback. While dark themes are popular and visually appealing, light themes provide better readability for data-heavy interfaces where you're scanning tables and analyzing keyword metrics.
We may introduce a dark mode toggle in future updates, but for now we're prioritizing readability and scannability.
