Board Game Companies SEO Checklist

Quick answer

The highest-priority items for board game publishers: answer "what's the player count/age range and playtime, and is it actually good for my group" directly on the site, build out player-count and age-range pages, and fix the industry's most common gap — no complexity rating alongside age range, since a game can be age-appropriate but far too complex (or too simple) for the actual group buying it.

Content checklist

  • A page that directly answers "what's the player count/age range and playtime, and is it actually good for my group"
  • Complete, non-generic player-count and age-range pages
  • Complete, non-generic genre pages (strategy, party, cooperative)
  • Complete, non-generic playtime and complexity rating pages
  • Complete, non-generic expansion/accessory pages

Technical checklist

  • Fast page load on mobile
  • Clear navigation — 3 clicks or fewer to any page
  • Working internal links between related pages
  • A real, current sitemap.xml

What not to bother with

Local-pack optimization and location pages — this isn't a location-driven category, so that effort is better spent on content depth.

The one thing to fix first

No complexity rating alongside age range, since a game can be age-appropriate but far too complex (or too simple) for the actual group buying it.
