Other well-known companies and brands we have worked with are Flutter Entertainment, Catena Media, enracha and Replay Poker.
We are lucky we are able to choose the projects we work on. We don't take on all the igaming clients that come to us looking for help.

Bespoke igaming SEO strategies
No two SEO strategies are the same, and we work hard to develop a winning approach for each of our clients. The online igaming space is a complex one, with multiple verticals (sports betting, casino, poker, bingo etc.), and varying requirements across regions driven by different licensing regimes. We put our global knowledge to good use when working for you and aim to help your site rank for highly converting keywords.
Your bespoke SEO strategy is pieced together once our team conducts an audit of your existing online presence (website and incoming links), and research into your competitors’ online landscape. This will identify significant opportunities for your business. Our SEO services cover onsite SEO, surfacing your target keywords and ensuring your site is optimized for them, and offsite SEO or link building.
Once we start implementing your igaming SEO strategy, we’ll report back with easy-to-digest figures so you can see how your goals are being met.

Link building to boost your rankings
We go where your competitors don't. The bad old days of simply acquiring inbound links of dubious quality are long gone. Google hates it, and so do we. That’s why our team develops a manual link building strategy from websites that matter. The content and host sites are relevant to your business, and by building third-party content that points to your website in this way, Google begins to repay us by recognising your authority. We call it impactful link building.
This is how you begin to climb the search engine rankings, in multiple languages. High search visibility is key to attracting new customers in the gambling industry. Just consider this: if you appear in the first position on Google, you’ll get a clickthrough rate (CTR) of around 25% on desktop searches. In the third spot that CTR drops below 10% - and if you’re in the lower positions of nine or 10, the CTR can be below 1%.
We have a vastly experienced igaming content services team, producing awesome articles for link building and content marketing material that generates its own links. Our team is fluent in multiple languages such as English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French or Russian and are experts in the igaming sector, so all writers know their subject inside out.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SEO for iGaming?
If you have an iGaming platform like an online casino, online sports betting, bingo, or poker site, you will rely upon new customers finding links to your site when they use search engines like Google. SEO or search engine optimization for iGaming sites will boost your rankings by using a strategic combination of three techniques:
1 On-page SEO, adding relevant content with targeted keywords and metadata.
2, Off-page SEO, where you grow your relevance and authority from other websites with authoritative inbound links.
3 Technical SEO, which assesses and improves your website to make it easier for search engines to find, navigate, and index your site.
How is international SEO different for iGaming clients?
You must treat different countries and regions as separate entities for iGaming platforms. You have different language considerations already, but there will be other factors that necessitate a different approach to SEO.
For example, each region you operate in may well have a different licensing authority, meaning your content must change from one country to another. Games you offer and the promotions you can run might vary and be restricted in some territories.
Your SEO strategy must reflect these different needs, plus be completed with professional knowledge of how search engines prioritize differently in some regions, according to local user behavior. For example, search intent and keywords in Asia will be different from South America and Europe.
By engaging with an international iGaming SEO specialist like Buen Paso Media, you will ensure a truly global approach to your strategy.
Is iGaming experience relevant for SEO?
Yes! You’ll already know content is essential for good SEO, and Google recognizes good content. iGaming is a particular niche that requires knowledge of the industry and its regulations, and the ability to write about it in the correct tone and language.
Experts in iGaming SEO, like Buen Paso Media, understand the particular challenges the industry faces.
