Game development studios · Search engine optimisation

Be the studio a brand manager finds when searching for a game partner.

SEO for a game studio means ranking for the services brands and publishers search, such as branded game development, and for the studio's own titles. GullySales works on the service pages, title pages and technical set-up that carry this.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For game development studios

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Two kinds of search need two kinds of page”

    A brand manager searches for game development studios in a city. A player searches for the name of a game. The first needs a services page and the second needs a title page with store links.

  • “Service search is crowded by large outsourcing firms”

    Big studios and agencies dominate broad terms. A studio can compete by being specific, such as AR games for events, or educational games, with real examples.

  • “Title pages are easy to neglect”

    A page for your game should hold the trailer, screenshots, store links, press kit and updates. Without one, store listings and fan pages outrank the studio on its own title.

  • “Press kits attract links”

    Journalists and bloggers who write about Indian games look for assets and facts. A clean press page with logos, screenshots and a team note earns links without outreach.

What we do

What we deliver for game development studios.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A service page plan

    A list of the games you build for clients, such as branded, educational or AR, mapped to one page each with examples.

    Result: A plan linking each service to a page and search.

  2. Title pages with a press kit

    A page for each title with trailer, screenshots, store links and a downloadable kit.

    Result: A page per game that lists where to play it.

  3. Case pages for client games

    Write-ups of delivered client games, with approval from the client, covering the brief, the platform and how review rounds ran.

    Result: Each case has the client's written consent.

  4. Technical checks

    Speed, mobile layout and structured data on the pages that bring enquiries.

    Result: A list of fixes tied to the pages affected.

  5. Search and enquiry tracking

    A sheet linking searches and pages to the enquiries they produced.

    Result: You can see which pages bring brand and publisher contacts.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the search engine optimisation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we target the term game development company?
Include it, but build pages for specific work such as branded games or educational games. The broad term has larger competitors, while a specific page matches a real brief.
Do store listings count as SEO?
They matter for player searches on the store. Keep titles and descriptions accurate, and follow the store's current rules. Your own title page then supports the listing with news and links.
How do we handle client confidentiality in case pages?
Ask what may be shown and write the page around that. If the client permits only a short description, give that and offer a call. Showing nothing is better than showing what was not approved.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
