SEO Best Practices to Improve Google Rankings
1. Generating a Sitemap
When clicking the "Generate Sitemap" button, wait until the admin page reloads before navigating away. Leaving too soon may create duplicate sitemap entries, which can affect SEO.
2. Optimizing Game Descriptions
To rank higher in Google search results, ensure that all game descriptions are rewritten before publishing. Avoid duplicate content and aim for unique, engaging descriptions.
3. Daily Game Publishing Strategy
We recommend publishing 7 to 15 games per day. Each game should have a unique, SEO-optimized description to improve visibility in search rankings.
4. Walkthrough Integration
Walkthrough videos are now automatically added to each game, so no additional steps are needed.
5. Page Descriptions
Each page now includes a description field. Write unique and well-detailed descriptions to maximize SEO benefits and improve your site's searchability.
6. Submitting to Google Search Console
After publishing a game, rewrite its description and submit the page to Google Search Console. Once indexed, usually within a few hours to two days, there is no need to manually resubmit each game link.
7. Blog Integration for Better Engagement
A blog feature has been added—make sure to post at least one relevant blog entry daily. Suggested topics include game-related news, industry trends, or historical insights. Frequent and high-quality blog posts contribute significantly to SEO success.
Stay tuned for future updates, and check your website admin console regularly for new version releases!
