Challenge

The UK online casino market is fiercely competitive in terms of website traffic. Leading operators in this sector often spend seven figures on advertising campaigns in order to attract new players.

In this case study, we dig deeper on why businesses should consider alternative marketing strategies such as search engine optimisation (SEO), which can help them achieve greater ROI with sustainable and more predictable traffic.

Our challenge was to design an SEO strategy to consistently deliver organic traffic, while also boosting the website’s authority and online presence in the iGaming niche.

In a regulated market with established brands, our SEO operation was able to deliver outstanding results with little to no risk for the company and the brand.

Strategy & Tactics​

We focused on On-Page SEO, Link Acquisition and PR to ensure diversity in targeted keywords and a solid backlink structure. This was the approach followed:

  • Comprehensive review of the UK online casino market, as well as Platin Casino’s historical data.
  • Gathered information on existing technology within the organisation to understand our marketing and technology needs.
  • Acted as Platin Casino’s SEO department, working closely with their team and software providers to ensure a smooth implementation of our content strategy and on-site optimisation.
  • In an industry dominated by established players, we focused on building organic profile, by improving search rankings on a wide range of relevant keywords, grow our presence organically and establish the website as a reputable source. Gradually, we started targeting the most powerful money keywords.
  • We partnered with reputable PR agencies to help us build organic profile, designing a link building strategy that balanced velocity and diversity of domains to sustainably increase the authority of the website. This strategy included obtaining links from highly reputable domains as well as other domains relevant to our content.

On-Page Optimisation

We conducted a comprehensive website audit, examining its existing architecture, sections, pages, and their interrelationships. This data helped us design a long-term SEO plan aimed at enhancing the website’s search visibility.

Platin Casino offers more than 700 casino games. We carefully optimised each page, without neglecting the website’s player experience. We created new page categories and types for SEO purposes. With the help of our proprietary technology, we were able to automate many of these tasks and achieve results quicker than the industry average.

Link Acquisition

At GainChanger, we have a scientific approach to link building. Our proprietary 38-step SEO framework lets us understand which specific backlinks are needed, the scale of the campaign, the range of links and velocity needed for the type of website, the market and topicality.

By generating quality content and having it featured on high-authority domains, we were able to build valuable backlinks. This not only helped to increase the website’s ranking, but also helped to drive relevant traffic from various sources, organically, safely and compliant with UK regulations.
