How to put my game in front page while searching

Hello, I’ve recently made a game and I was wondering how am I suppose to make my game in front page while searching? because the current search bar is very very bad, specially when it comes to dead and old games, sadly when I search for my game name it never appears but the old and dead games appear???

I think there is something that would help to put out my game there, its really enough that roblox removed the categories sort, now its impossible to get my roblox game into front page unless I spend hundred thousands of robux, I’ve spent like 28k robux but its completely useless and all what I get from ctr is 0.15 or 0.13 and for phone just 0.03 like what the hell,

I’ve really tried searching in devforum if there is something similar to my own problem but nope, how the hell new developers are suppose to raise their game without spending robux?? the people who doesn’t even actually have any experience or anything else than developing wont even be able to get robux because of this

Now I want a solution for this, how I am suppose to make my game popular without spending handred thousands of robux, its sounds getting concurrent players with robux less than 100k is nearly impossible

I dont want to get investors because I don’t love getting money from ppl then giving back and blah blah, its sort of annoying, here is the game if you’re interested

Also the like rate need to be improved, because some ppl was raging about very stupid stuff then ending in disliking game for example “wHy TheREe IS No PeTS” I told him its coming soon then he left mad and clicked dislike, I knew he did it because when he left and I refreshed page dislike increased, and another example someone is mad because I did not give him frEe CoIns so he disliked the game

To get your game on the front page you would need to run game sponsors so it would appear on the front page with one of those Sponsored bars on it.
Apart from that there isn’t much you can do as the Roblox algorithm appears to sort games based on visits and likes so the games with the most visits and likes will be at the top of the results which is quite annoying.

I feel that sponsors effect are very very much less than ads or I am wrong? because my own ads for some group gets ctr higher than .40% so should I do ads next time or sponsors but plus I have no intention to keep spending thousands of robux then I get nothing but a bad ctr

Sponsors are good for getting your game on the front page temporarily but ads ought to get more clicks so it is down to personal preference. With ads though I would recommend getting 2-3 ad designs made, launching them each with 100 or so R$ and whichever ad gets the highest CTR should be launched with more R$.

To address the last problem you mentioned, if you want to get more bang for your buck I would also recommend finishing the game and polishing it before advertising it.

When I went to check out the game I was instantly greeted with a misaligned loading bar, GUI appearing infront of the loading screen, and two places next to the spawn that had (coming soon) above them. Having kohl’s admin isn’t really nice either but that’s not as important.

If you want to get a higher CTR you simply have to make your ads more clickbait-esque, it’s unfortunate that it is like that but it does work.

Good luck with your game!
