Our Technical SEO Process: How We Deliver Results
We know the difference between a ranking problem and a real technical issue – and we know how to fix both. We don’t just identify issues. We find solutions that you can actually benefit from. Here’s why igaming clients choose us over generalist agencies
- Comprehensive Technical SEO Audit: Our technical SEO audits spot issues that others miss. We look at crawlability, indexation, core web vitals and everything else.
- Genuine iGaming experts: Our experience and case study examples speak for themselves. Online gambling and sports betting is what we do. We are true specialists, not generalists with a few iGaming projects
- Ongoing partnership: Your technical audit is just the first step in our services. We stay engaged month after month, tracking progress and pushing improvements.
What We Fix
The Technical SEO Issues Costing Your iGaming Site Rankings
Most iGaming sites we work with have serious technical problems they don’t know about. Most don’t realise the impact this is having on their platform. We see the same patterns across the industry, and have encountered all problems before. Here’s what we typically uncover
- Core Web Vitals Issues: Slow, unstable page experiences that indirectly hurt SEO. Higher bounce rates, reduced crawl efficiency, and conversion rate drops. At Big Pond we identify and fix all of these as a priority target.
- Broken hreflang Implementations: The wrong pages ranking in the wrong markets or not ranking at all. hreflang tags is one of the first tech fixes we look to implement for geo-targeted iGaming clients.
- Internal Linking Gaps: Authority disappearing because your highest-quality pages aren't supported by your internal linking structure. At Big Pond we target the pages which bring you genuine leads and FTDs and set up internal linking appropriately.
- Rendering Issues: Content visible to users but invisible to Google. Rendering issues can prevent pages from ranking, and break internal linking signals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technical SEO FAQs — Everything You Need to Know
Technical SEO for iGaming clients is one of the most asked about services we offer at Big Pond. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions.
Content and links get all the attention, but if your site has crawlability problems, or indexation gaps, none of that work delivers what it should. In iGaming the stakes are higher than most verticals — you’re competing against well-funded operators, running complex platforms with real-time data and geo-restricted content across regulated markets, and most technical issues are invisible until they cost you. A broken hreflang setup doesn’t trigger a warning. The best way to guarantee your site is performing at an optimal level is by getting in touch.
A technical SEO audit looks at everything in great depth. We look at crawl health, indexation gaps, JavaScript rendering (what Googlebot actually sees on your platform versus what users see), hreflang accuracy across regulated markets, Core Web Vitals on key page templates, internal linking and authority flow, and whether your compliance IP blocking is accidentally shutting out Googlebot alongside the users you’re legally required to exclude. Most iGaming sites we work with are losing rankings to problems they don’t know exist. These aren’t edge cases, they’re patterns we see across the industry with a direct, measurable impact on revenue.
Core Web Vitals have been a confirmed Google ranking factor since 2021, and casino and sportsbook sites are harder to get right than almost any other industry. Game lobbies load hundreds of tile images asynchronously, serve real-time jackpot figures, and fire promotional banners mid-page. Every element that shifts the layout after initial load is a CLS hit. LCP suffers on any page with a large hero or game grid above the fold, particularly on mobile where most iGaming traffic lands. And INP is routinely blocked by the heavy JavaScript that live odds, betting engines, and real-time data syncing demand. The operators who score well invest in server-side rendering for critical content, lazy loading with reserved layout space, and code splitting to offload non-essential JavaScript. It’s entirely achievable, but it requires someone who understands both iGaming platform constraints and what Google’s tooling is actually measuring.

How We Deliver Your Technical SEO Strategy
We follow a trusted process on every engagement that has left previous iGaming clients satisfied with our services. We don’t do guesswork, or generic reports, just clear priorities, transparent communication, and measurable outcomes.
Discovery, Research & Audit
The technical SEO audit for an iGaming site is the most comprehensive evaluation we offer as an SEO agency. We carry out a full technical crawl, log file analysis, indexation review, Core Web Vitals assessment, structured data audit, and competitor benchmarking across your key target markets. This gives us a complete picture of where you are and what’s holding you back.
Strategy & Roadmap
Every finding gets prioritised by commercial impact. You get a clear, developer-ready roadmap, so your team knows exactly what to work on, in what order, and why it matters. At this stage, we break down our tech SEO audit into clear steps and in order of priority. We prioritise the top 5 to 10 fixes that will help us bring in more revenue with SEO.
Implementation & Execution
We work directly alongside your team, providing precise technical specifications and hands-on support to make sure every change is implemented correctly the first time. We don’t just hand over a list and hope for the best.
Reporting & Optimisation
Monthly reporting that actually highlights progress. Ranking movement, crawl health, indexation coverage, and Core Web Vitals progress. We track what matters, flag what needs attention, and keep pushing improvements forward month after month.
