Services

Casino and sportsbook
SEO services

Built for competitive iGaming SERPs where everyone buys the same links and publishes the same “best casino” listicles. We differentiate through engineering, entity depth, and link sources your competitors can’t replicate.

All services are run as experiments with pre-registered success metrics.

Technical SEO for real-money sites

Crawl budget is money. We fix faceted hell, JavaScript rendering for game lobbies, and indexation leaks that cost you rankings in regulated markets.

  • Log-file driven fixes
  • Game lobby rendering
  • Geo & hreflang done right

Casino content & topical authority

Not another “what is blackjack” post. Entity-mapped clusters that own player intent from RTP to withdrawal complaints.

  • Entity graph & schema
  • Comparison engine content
  • E-E-A-T for YMYL
Read the methodology

Link acquisition that sticks

No PBNs. No gambling footer spam. We earn links from real sites with traffic in iGaming adjacencies: fintech, sports, crypto, streaming.

  • Digital PR for operators
  • Link earning not renting
  • Risk-managed velocity
Read the methodology

Programmatic & multi-market SEO

One template, 200 geo pages that don’t get deindexed. We build programmatic systems for states, provinces, and languages with local compliance.

  • US state launch playbook
  • Canada / LatAm expansion
  • Compliance-aware copy
Read the methodology

Conversion Rate SEO

Ranking is half the job. We test FTD placement, bonus table UX, and internal linking to turn rank #3 into more NDCs than rank #1.

  • Bonus table experiments
  • Internal link sculpting
  • Player journey mapping
Read the methodology

Competitive intelligence

We reverse your SERP. Who owns what, why, and how to take it. Live tracking for bonus terms, affiliate overlap, and SERP feature theft.

  • SERP share modeling
  • Affiliate gap analysis
  • Weekly war-room report

Method

How to optimize SEO for a casino site: our five-step method

Every iGaming site says “we do technical, content, and links.” Ours is sequenced. We don’t build links to pages Google can’t crawl, and we don’t write content for keywords you can’t win. Five steps, lab-notebook strict.

  1. Forensic audit & baseline

    We pull Search Console, logs, Ahrefs, and your actual player data. Map every template, every redirect chain, every cannibalized bonus page. No audit deck theater — just a punchlist that moves revenue.

    You Receive
    Live Looker Studio + crawl debt log + 30/60/90 roadmap

  2. Architecture & crawl control

    Fix faceted navigation, game filter params, and state/province sprawl. Ship Edge SEO for instant tests, rebuild internal linking around money pages, not blog posts.

    You Receive
    Edge worker rules + internal link graph + log-verified fixes

  3. Entity & content engine

    Build topical maps around player entities: games, providers, payment rails, complaints. Ship comparison content that ranks and converts, with schema that actually wins features.

    You Receive
    Topical map + 12 content briefs + schema pack + E-E-A-T upgrades

  4. Authority that compounds

    Launch digital PR angles journalists in sports/fintech want to link to. No guest post farm. Each link has a reason to exist and traffic to prove it. Velocity controlled per market.

    You Receive
    Linkable assets + 8-12 earned links/mo + risk report

  5. Measure, prove, scale

    Pre-registered KPIs. If we said we’d grow casino-intent clicks 40% in 90 days, we show the SQL. Retrospective every sprint, then double down on winners.

    You Receive
    Sprint report + NDC attribution model + next experiment queue

Compete

Built to take SERPs you were told were “too competitive”

iGaming SERPs are pay-to-play only if you play their game. We don’t. We find wedge keywords where intent > volume, then use entity stacking to expand. We’ve taken “online casino real money” microsites from 0 to 40k clicks in 6 months without buying a single casino blog link.

  • Affiliate SERP theft
    We target pages ranking with thin lists and beat them with data: RTP tables, withdrawal speed tests, complaint resolution scores.
  • Brand SERP defense
    Own your brand + bonus + complaints. If you don’t, affiliates will. We build defensive moats with UGC and support content.
  • Bonus table arbitrage
    Everyone shows 200% bonus. We test table order, trust badges, and microcopy to out-convert higher bonuses.

Pick an agency

How to pick a casino SEO agency without getting burned

Most agencies have never touched a real-money site. Ask these. If they can’t answer with logs, not slides, walk away.

Red flags
  • Guarantees #1 rankings in 30 days
  • Shows only DR and traffic, not NDCs
  • Can’t explain Edge SEO or log files
  • Same guest post list for every client
Show me your log file process
They should talk about bot hit % vs. human, crawl waste by template, and how they verified fixes in logs. Not just Screaming Frog.
What’s your link risk policy?
Ask for max % of exact match anchors, max new referring domains per month, and how they disavow. If they say 'we don't disavow', they don't operate in regulated markets.
How do you handle compliance?
Every state/province has different bonus claim language, age gates, and responsible gaming requirements. Content must be legal-reviewed, not just SEO-reviewed.
What’s your NDC attribution?
Rankings without depositors is theater. Ask how they connect Search Console clicks to FTDs. If they can't, they're an affiliate blog agency, not an operator agency.

FAQ

Operator questions, lab answers

“We’ve been on page three for 18 months. Can you actually move us?”

Yes, if you let us touch the site. Most page-three iGaming sites are there because of faceted indexation bloat and internal linking to blog, not money pages. We fix that in week one. The rest is content depth and links your competitors can’t buy.

— Lab notes, client call 2024
Do you work with affiliate sites or only operators?
Operators first. We take 2 affiliate projects per quarter max, and only if they have proprietary data (RTP audits, withdrawal tests, complaint resolution). No thin listicles.
How long until we see rankings move?
Technical fixes: 7-14 days. Content + internal links: 30-45 days. Competitive head terms: 90-120 days. We pre-register expected lift per experiment so you know if we’re off-track.
Do you guarantee rankings or traffic?
No. We guarantee process: log-verified fixes, experiment docs, and transparent reporting. If someone guarantees #1 for 'best online casino', they're selling you PBNs.
What about Google's gambling policies?
We operate within regulated markets only. Every page has responsible gaming blocks, age gates, and geo-targeted compliance copy. We don't try to outsmart Google; we give it what it wants: E-E-A-T and real entity depth.
What do you need from our team?
Dev access for Edge workers, content sign-off in 48h, and one stakeholder who can approve linkable assets. No 12-person approval chain. That's how you stay on page three.
