The Challenge

Big fan demand, low visibility

The site hosts a deep catalogue of browser games with a devoted fan base, but most of its pages were buried on page two and three of search. The demand was clearly there — thousands of people search for these game titles, mods, and "unblocked" versions every month — yet competitors were capturing the clicks.

The brief: turn an enthusiast catalogue into a search-traffic engine across both Google and Bing, at the scale a games library demands.

  • 01Hundreds of game and wiki pages ranking on page two–three, leaking traffic to competitors.
  • 02High-volume, fast-moving game-intent queries (mods, unblocked, online) with fierce competition.
  • 03A large catalogue needing scalable, templated optimisation rather than one-page-at-a-time work.
  • 04Two search engines to win — Bing turned out to be the larger traffic source and needed its own attention.
The Results — 6 Months

What We Did

A content engine, built to rank

// 01

Programmatic Page Optimisation

Templated titles, meta, and structured data rolled out across the entire game and wiki catalogue — so hundreds of pages improved at once instead of one at a time.

// 02

Won the Game-Intent Queries

Targeted the searches fans actually use — "[game] online", "mods", "unblocked", "no download" — and moved key pages from page three to page one.

// 03

Optimised for Bing, Not Just Google

Bing turned out to deliver the majority of clicks for this audience. We tuned for both engines via Bing Webmaster Tools — a channel most competitors ignore entirely.

// 04

Content That Matches Search Intent

Wiki and landing pages built around what players want — how to play, fan-game lists, "what is" explainers — capturing both informational and play-now intent.

Keywords We Targeted

Ranking where players are searching

A snapshot of the game-intent queries driving traffic — title searches, mods, and "unblocked" variations that players use to find somewhere to play. These are the searches now sending real clicks to the site.

Across all queries, the site ranks in the top 10 for 313 keywords on Google — the foundation of its combined 13.1K clicks.

Channel Insight
Beyond Google

The Bing channel most sites leave on the table

The biggest surprise of this engagement: Bing wasn't a footnote — it was the main event. For this gaming audience, Bing drove 89% of impressions and the majority of clicks. By optimising for both engines instead of fixating on Google alone, we roughly doubled the site's reachable audience.

Most agencies report Google only. Tracking and optimising Bing separately surfaced an audience that was already there — and turned it into half the site's traffic.

Takeaways

Top 3 strategies to emulate

01

Optimise at catalogue scale

For a site with hundreds of pages, one-at-a-time SEO doesn't move the needle. Templated titles, meta, and schema applied across the whole library lifted rankings everywhere at once — the only way to grow a large catalogue efficiently.

02

Don't ignore Bing

Bing delivered 89% of impressions and over half the clicks for this audience. Most competitors optimise for Google and stop there. Treating Bing as a first-class channel effectively doubled the reachable market.

03

Match the searcher's exact intent

Players don't search for brand names — they search "[game] online", "mods", "unblocked". Building pages around those exact phrases captured high-intent traffic competitors were missing, turning demand that already existed into clicks.
