Project’s Strategy Development
The strategy development phase included several key steps:
Website Audit and Analysis
As a well-maintained technical foundation is crucial for optimal search engine performance, we conducted such important steps. First, a clear and logical website structure must be implemented to facilitate search engine crawlers' ability to efficiently index website content. Second, we created a deep internal linking strategy to connect relevant pages and establish a clear hierarchy within your website. The third task was to fix all technical SEO problems identified during the audit: optimizing page loading speed, resolving broken links and redirects, and ensuring proper mobile responsiveness.
Market and Competitors research
Niche and competitor website research showed that an SEO strategy should concentrate on specific European countries with a high interest in crypto gambling. Also, we need to use a localization approach to define popular search terms in these regions and localize website content accordingly. As such task is not a short and easy one we suggested to do it in several stages.
1 step. Central European countries.
2 step. Southern European countries.
3 step. Nordic European countries.
Keyword Research and Clustering
A thorough research keyword process was undertaken to collect and cluster a list of relevant keywords for all website pages. Also we created a list of new pages ideas based on long and middle-term requests for each geo.
Content Ideas
We identified and eliminated duplicate content across the website. That included consolidating similar pages and rewriting content to ensure each page offers unique value to users and search engines. Also we collected tech requirements to develop new high-quality, informative content targeting exact keywords to increase organic traffic and website visibility.
Link-Building Strategy
A long-lasting link-building strategy was developed to improve the website’s authority and trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines. This long-term strategy was crucial for sustainable SEO success. We concentrated on links from local resources for each geo we will work with.
