Scaling a Real Money Gaming Website and App – A Case Study

Overview of the Real Money Gaming Website

The Real Money Gaming Website in focus specializes in offering online Rummy card games in India. 

Facing significant challenges in online visibility and ranking, the website turned to Uvisible for a comprehensive digital marketing solution.

 

Situation and Problem

  • The website encountered severe issues – it failed to rank for both brand and generic keywords. 

  • The highly competitive landscape, exorbitant CPCs on Google Ads, and unprofitable CPAs from PPC compounded the problem. 

  • The root cause was traced to an overwhelming 96% of backlinks from irrelevant international sources, coupled with duplicated content on 30-40 pages. Additionally, the site lacked responsiveness.

Acquiring Real Money Players - Paid Ads Management

Any real money gaming site cannot survive with a limited number of players.

Player liquidity is one of the biggest challenges real money gaming websites face as they need a bare minimum of players 24x7 so that players get other players to play with.

Considering the retention and players becoming inactive, acquiring more and more users becomes crucial.

Hence, paid advertising is the fastest way to acquire real money players.

We understand how paid marketing works in the real money gaming category and set up campaigns that generate leads and real money players.

Google Ads, including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, have been the main platforms for building brand visibility and generating real money players in India.
