THE BRIEF:


We partnered with Best Online Casinos in 2022 with the goal of strengthening their backlink profile by securing high-authority links from a diverse range of reputable sources, including gaming, lifestyle, and affiliate-focused publications.

In a highly competitive online gaming market where numerous brands were vying for consumer attention, Best Online Casinos faced the challenge of distinguishing itself from competitors. With a clear focus on increasing their digital visibility, the company aimed to drive more organic traffic and improve its overall online presence.

To address these goals, we implemented a targeted and strategic approach, focusing on acquiring valuable backlinks that would enhance their search engine rankings, boost brand recognition, and establish the company as an authoritative voice in the online gaming industry. This approach included high-quality outreach, tailored content creation, and strategic partnerships with key industry players, all of which contributed to amplifying their digital footprint and attracting a larger, more engaged audience.

OUR STRATEGY:


Our strategy for Best Online Casinos focused on gaming, luck, football, and lifestyle topics— crucial areas that align with the brand’s audience and its mission to connect users with top gaming experiences. By emphasising these sectors, we aimed to position Best Online Casinos as a go-to resource within the highly competitive online gaming and affiliate space.

The Digital PR team identified that in depth data-driven and survey-based campaigns would be the most effective way to secure media coverage in the German market. These campaigns were designed to tap into trending topics and regional interests, ensuring they would resonate with journalists and readers alike. In fact, tailoring our campaigns to their target country Germany was vital for success.

We brainstormed and launched several creative campaigns, including the standout "the luckiest lottery numbers" campaign, which leveraged lotto data to uncover how you can increase your chances of winning big. This compelling campaign captured interest from a diverse range of outlets, spanning lifestyle, regional, and even broader national media. It resulted in 24 links, significantly bolstering the brand’s backlink profile.

To maximise the campaigns' impact, we meticulously crafted tailored media lists. By analysing journalists’ areas of interest and leveraging our established connections within the German media landscape, we ensured the campaigns reached the right people at the right time. This targeted approach enhanced Best Online Casino’s visibility and reinforced its authority within the online gaming sector.

Janina Arndt, Digital PR Specialist, shares insights into the chosen outreach strategy and its success:

"For Beste Online Casinos, tailoring our campaigns to their target country Germany was key, while a variety of topics helped to reach different demographics. Most successfully, we executed campaigns directly relevant to the client's niche by addressing the most popular games in Germany, such as Lotto, which achieved coverage with high traffic and visibility nationally, as well as positioning the client as an authority in their field. Spanning further trending topics such as luxury, Oktoberfest and luck, we were able to target a wide variety of outlets to increase visibility for the client in even more niches and sectors, as well as tapping into local interest in the target audience. By giving practical advice backed by in-depth datasets, such as in our campaign "The most frequently drawn lotto numbers", we were able to go further than just to interest or entertain the target audience with out pieces, but help the consumer in their leisure activities. This way, the nationwide coverage of such campaigns contributed to a positive image for our client in helping the consumer. With our overall approach, we achieved over 150 backlinks for the client as well as enhancing their brand visibility and SEO significantly."
