TOP-10 Casino SEO Tools
How to use this list
For the new project: begin with GSC/GA4 → crawling → speed → competitors → tracking of positions.
For a growing project: add log analysis, real-time change monitoring, and Discover clusters.
For multi-regions: Be sure to check hreflang, local payments/terms and compliance in content.
1) Google Search Console (GSC)
Tasks: indexing, cluster visibility, Discover, technical signals.
Key reports: Pages in the index, Performance (by pages/queries), Discover, Core Web Vitals, Convenience on mobile.
iGaming nuances: filter by money-cluster (for example, '/bonuses/', '/payments/') and by GEO; track cannibalization "best casinos {GEO}."
Quick Steps - Unload requests → group by intent → map 1 cluster = 1 URL.
2) Google Analytics 4 (+ Looker Studio/BigQuery)
Tasks: behavior and conversions, the path → "info-commerce," attribution.
Metrics: engaged sessions, depth, time to first click, CR by patterns (brand review, bonus, payment).
iGaming nuances: mark events for bonus tables, slot catalog filters, FAQ accordions - this is the core of behavioral optimization.
Quick steps: collect dashboard by clusters/templates, add segments by GEO and devices.
3) Ahrefs
Objectives: links/anchors, competitors, "content gaps."
What to watch: Referral domains, Best by links, Top pages of competitors, Content Gap by page type (bonuses, payments, providers).
iGaming nuances: avoid toxic anchors; look for natural reasons: studies of payments, guides for CUS/payments, maps of local methods.
Quick steps: remove "content spaces" for sections '/bonuses/', '/payments/', '/slots/providers/' - this is a ready-made backlog.
4) Semrush
Tasks: positional tracking, SERP features, PLA/Ads environment (to assess niche competitiveness), site audit.
What to watch: Position Tracking by GEO/devices, Keyword Gap, Site Audit (along with Spider), SERP Features for CTR.
iGaming nuances: track snippet types (FAQs, review blocks) on money pages; compare titles vs competitors in each GEO.
Quick actions: set up tracking clusters "no deposit," "quick payments," "{brand} providers" separately by region.
5) Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Tasks: crowling, canonical/hreflang, internal links, pagination, status codes.
What to watch: H1/Title duplicates, redirect chains, rel = next/prev (or corresponding link headers), canonical, hreflang pairs, click depth.
iGaming nuances: slot/bonus catalogs often inflate the index with filters - mark parametric URLs in 'noindex, follow', and put valuable facets into static.
Quick actions: depth report to money pages (≤3 click) and map of internal links from hubs.
6) Sitebulb
Tasks: visualization of architecture, verification of internal quality signals, prioritization of tasks.
What to watch: site graph, orphan pages, "hints" in terms of content/links quality, status code distribution and Core Web Vitals (useful proxies).
iGaming nuances: quickly finds "hanging" landing pages of promotions and duplicates for similar intents (cannibalization).
Quick steps: build a graph by sections - hubs/bonuses ,/payments ,/slots must be level 1-2 nodes.
7) PageSpeed Insights / Lighthouse
Tasks: speed on mobile, LCP/CLS/INP, the influence of heavy tables/widgets.
What to watch: LCP resources (1200 + covers), script delays, table size (bonuses/slots), lazy-load.
iGaming nuances: long tables and slot previews "kill" LCP - take out the critical CSS, put the invisible below the first screen.
Quick steps: optimize hero images and tables, check WebP/AVIF, fonts with display = swap.
8) Oncrawl (or Botify) - log analysis
Tasks: how the bot really crawls the project: frequency/priority, budget losses.
What to watch: bot hit maps, status codes, share of traversal of parametric URLs vs static facets, re-indexing speed of the most important clusters.
iGaming nuances: if the bot is "spent" on filters, money pages will be updated less often → drawdown according to fresh bonuses/conditions.
Quick actions: cut bypassing parameters, strengthen hubs and "money-branches" with internal links.
9) AccuRanker (or STAT) - rank tracking by GEO/devices
Objectives: exact positions by city/country, mobile vs desktop, dynamics by cluster.
What to watch: tags/groups (bonuses, payments, providers), TOP-10 share, CTR proxy, issuance with SERP features.
iGaming nuances: different GEO = different SERP intents and competitors. It is safe to track "brand + login/app/mirror" without clickbait.
Quick Steps: Enter individual tags for "sleepless," "quick payouts," "Interac/PIX/Papara" and provider of the month.
10) ContentKing (or Little Warden) - real-time monitoring
Tasks: tracking sudden changes: noindex, robots, canonical, redirects, missing schema, hreflang errors.
What to watch: alerts according to critical templates (brands/bonuses/payments), meta tag versions, status codes.
iGaming nuances: promo teams often rule content on the fly - monitoring saves from random noindex/301 and broken canonicals.
Quick steps: set alerts to change in '/brand/', '/bonuses/', '/payments/' and robots/sitemap files.
Summary matrix: what to close
iGaming audit checklist (before release/migration)
- 1 intent = 1 URL; hubs '/bonuses/', '/payments/', '/slots/' available ≤2 click

- CWV "green" on mobile; tables/skins optimized
- Schema: Breadcrumb, FAQPage (по факту), Article/News, Organization
- Discover: 1200 + covers, 'max-image-preview: large', author/revision/update date
- Internal Relink Leads "Info → Commerce → Transaction"
- Logs: the bot does not spend the budget on filters/404, money pages are needed often
- Rank tracking by GEO and clusters; GSC Cannibalization Report
- Real-time monitoring of critical changes is configured
