Brand Background
Our client is a prominent online casino known for offering a wide array of gaming options, including slots, table games, and live dealer experiences. Unfortunately, we can’t name the brand for confidentiality reasons.
Established in 2017, the platform has grown to become a favorite among online gaming enthusiasts worldwide, thanks to its user-friendly interface, engaging gameplay, and generous bonuses.

However, the online casino operates in a highly competitive industry where maintaining visibility and attracting new users are crucial for sustained growth, which brings us to the challenges it faced prior to partnering with 747 Media House.
Challenges
Despite its easy-to-use platform and a wide variety of gaming options, the online casino faced several significant challenges related to its online presence, which hindered its growth potential.
- High Competition
The online gaming industry is intensely competitive, with numerous casinos vying for the same audience. The sheer volume of competitors made it difficult for the casino to stand out and attract new users organically. Ranking high on search engine results pages (SERPs) was essential to gain visibility, but achieving this required a comprehensive SEO strategy.
- Low Domain Authority
The casino's website struggled with low domain authority, a crucial factor in search engine ranking. This was primarily due to a lack of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources. Without a strong backlink profile, the casino’s website had limited credibility in the eyes of search engines, making it challenging to rank for competitive keywords.
- Content Saturation
The market was saturated with similar content, making it hard for the casino’s offerings to appear unique and compelling. Building a decent backlink profile was needed to signal to search engines that their content was valuable and trustworthy, helping it to rise above the noise.
- User Trust and Credibility
Online casinos often face skepticism regarding their legitimacy and fairness. Building user trust is crucial for attracting and retaining players. High-quality backlinks from authoritative websites could enhance the casino's credibility and reassure potential users of its reliability and fairness.
- Technical SEO Issues
The casino's website also had underlying technical SEO issues, such as slow page load times, mobile optimization problems, and inefficient site architecture. These issues negatively impacted user experience and search engine rankings.
- Limited Organic Traffic
Due to these challenges, the casino struggled to generate substantial organic traffic. Relying heavily on paid advertising was not a sustainable long-term strategy. Increasing organic traffic through improved SEO and a strong backlink profile was essential for cost-effective growth.
Solution
747 Media House devised a strategic Casino SEO plan to tackle the outlined challenges. They focused on building a strong backlink profile, addressing technical SEO issues, and enhancing content quality. This comprehensive approach significantly improved the casino's online visibility.
As a result, the number of organic keywords ranking between positions 1 to 3 on search engine results pages surged from 726 to an impressive 6,228, driving substantial organic traffic and boosting user acquisition. Here’s how we drove the platform’s growth from quarter to quarter:
