Our  iGaming SEO Approach in 4 Simple Steps

 
  1. Where do you Stand/ Where do You want to be - Market Research - The first step for any successful sportsbook or casino SEO campaign is to establish the current situation and set a goal of where you need to be to increase traffic and revenue. During this stage we perform a site SEO audit, map out rankings, and conduct keyword research.
  2. Which Sites are ranking above you and why - Competitor Analysis - With the data from the previous step we now have a pretty good idea of where your site is ranked and where you need to be ranked to bring in more sign-ups and increase revenue. With this data in hand, we look at the keyword opportunities and the competitor sites that are currently ranking high for those keywords. We then reverse engineer their strategy.
  3. What is the gap we need to bridge - From Steps 1 and 2, we now know exactly what the gap is between your site and the competition and this helps us put together a strategy to outrank the competition. There are several metrics that we take into consideration when we are bridging the gap, an important one is the link profile and the rate at which your competitors are gaining links on monthly basis and the quality of those links.
  4. Strategy - With the data from the previous steps, our team can now put together a solid SEO strategy and plan for ranking higher and taking as much organic market share as possible.

iGaming SEO FAQs

  1. What is SEO in gambling?

    2. SEO, or ‘Search Engine Optimisation’, plays a crucial role in enhancing the online visibility and success of gambling websites. It involves implementing strategies to optimise your gambling website's content and structure, making it more attractive to search engines like Google to then rank more highly and present to its users - i.e. potential players.
    As with any SEO project, carrying it out for a gambling brand entails the same core steps:
    • Keyword Research to identify what users are searching for in volume;
    • On-Page optimisations that make your gambling site mobile-friendly and offer a smooth user experience;
    • Technical SEO to ensure your entire site can be found, crawled, and ranked;
    • Backlink building, where other relevant gambling-related sites link back to yours;
    • Content marketing, where each page features optimised content based on the keywords you are targeting.

  2. What is SEO for iGaming?

    3. SEO in iGaming refers to the implementation of search engine optimisation strategies specifically tailored for the online gambling industry. It involves optimising websites, the content on them, and other online assets. All of this will help improve an iGaming website’s visibility and rankings in search engine results, and ultimately generate more organic traffic.

    SEO for iGaming follows the same fundamental process as with any other industry, like: conducting keyword research; publishing engaging and optimised content; building valuable iGaming backlinks; and making sure your Technical SEO is on point. Ensuring your website is optimised for mobile devices is vital as players increasingly play on their phones or tablets and want a smooth experience. For iGaming SEO, showing Google and players that your platform is regulatory compliant is so important for gaining their trust.

  3. What is iGaming content?

With iGaming content, you'll discover a vast selection of games that cater to every taste and preference.

Unlike traditional gaming, iGaming involves real money wagers and the potential to win monetary rewards so the gambling elements are the main difference.
