Driving Explosive Organic Growth for Splash Sports

Splash Sports is a fast-growing sports gaming platform offering popular contest formats like NFL Survivor pools, Pick’em contests, player props, and quick-pick games. Ahead of the 2024 football season, Splash Sports partnered with BV to strengthen their SEO presence and optimize their website for long-term organic growth.

The goal was simple but high-stakes: rank for competitive, seasonally driven sports contest keywords before football traffic peaked—and convert that demand into app users.

What We Delivered

Starting in July, BV was engaged to provide ongoing sports betting SEO and website management support for Splash Sports. We worked closely with their team to optimize their Webflow site, refine keyword strategy, and launch high-impact content designed to capture search demand at exactly the right moment in the sports calendar.

Our work focused on building sustainable organic growth that would compound throughout the season—rather than relying on short-term paid traffic.
