Scoring Big with SEO – Driving a 157% Uplift in Conversions From Organic Search

The Brief

FootyAccumulators.com, one of the UK’s leading football prediction and betting tip platforms, needed to transform its organic search performance. While the brand had a large social following, its organic visibility lagged behind key competitors for high-intent keywords around football tips, predictions, and free bets.

With the 2023/24 football season approaching, Checkd Media partnered with Toucan International to overhaul FootyAccumulators’ SEO strategy and, crucially, turn organic users into revenue-generating customers through a combined SEO, Digital PR, GA4 optimisation retainer.

Content, PR & Conversion Overhaul

We focused on three integrated pillars, high-intent content, authority-building Digital PR, and conversion rate optimisation, aligned around one execution plan.

Work items included a full content format re-engineering, a structured Digital PR calendar, and CRO refinements. Reporting tied each release to visibility, conversions, and revenue movement

  • Re-engineered prediction content with deeper data-driven match analysis, embedded video highlights, clearer prediction sections, and enhanced internal linking
  • Built an authority-driven PR calendar from scratch, securing national coverage via high-profile football interviews (Sam Allardyce) and data-driven regional stories
  • Sent custom GA4 event data (odds, bookmaker, league, teams) to analyse which markets converted best

Why Performance Increased

The turnaround happened when content strategy, authority-building PR, and conversion optimisation were executed as a single growth system.

Rather than treating SEO, PR, and CRO as separate workstreams, we unified them around one goal: turning organic traffic into measurable revenue.

Every content update was designed to rank and convert, every backlink pointed to commercial pages, and every CRO change was validated with GA4 data.
