I have several questions concerning the Roblox Search Optimisation and how exactly it works. I’ve been working on a unique Street Soccer game and when I’ve tried to enter some keywords to the search bar to see the ranking of my own game, my day just got worse. Here’s what I found what I typed “soccer”.
My game was the 161th to appear in the results despite being super relevant to the search query.
Here are some factors that I believe plays a role on the Roblox Search Optimisation
My game was made a year ago (It is not new!)
The game has a good rating (70%)
The keyword “soccer” has been repeated three times in the description
There are on average 10 active users at any given time of the day
Yet, despite all of that, some low-rated irrelevant (to the search query) games that gets little to no players appear higher just because they spammed bunch of random words in the description
The worst part about it is that scam games and a game that literally stole my game icon and thumbnails appeared much higher than my own game… i am literally losing my mind.
Obviously, if I put 2 words in the search query like “street soccer” my game would appear among the first results however that lowers the likeliness of getting players since kids usually don’t write a lot on the search query.
Here are my questions:
Could it be because of the emoji on the title? I have heard that apparently emojis might play something into this.
Is there a way to get the game appear higher in the results? Or is it doomed to be left in the perpetual darkness among the botted games?
Is there a specific lists of factors that play into the Roblox Search Optimisation that I could look into?
Odd. I think the reason why your game is lower is because that most of the games have a higher like to dislike ratio then yours, but that’s probably not it. Lots of those games have stuff like OBBY OBBY OBBY and you know the rest, in the description. Those type of games are higher because they are abusing the system, which then makes finding good games harder
soccer and football has been mentionned 3 times in the description. I’m not a fan of putting “tags” section in the description either if that’s what you meant.
