Roblox Game Search Bar

Thank you so much for linking the article, it was a good read. I have now removed the emoji in my title and I’m hoping for the best.

I don’t think removing the emoji has changed anything, I’m guessing because this change is relativity new.

I changed the description as well, I will give it few days before looking back at it.

Yea I was going say you should imply the word “soccer” as much as possible.

add some tags, such as street soccer, soccer, football (VERY IMPORTANT)

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.

There’s nothing wrong with it. All games do it to push them up in the algorithm. You have to take advantage of this.

Why would I need to do that if I already mentionned the important keywords numerous times?

Because the algorithm also looks at the players recommended, so if they played something like adopt me you want to have tags for basically everything.

Tags don’t bump up your game, that’s not how meta data works. A well written description is better then tags.

You should put the word “soccer” somewhere in the title. It’ll probably make it show up more.

No, the word football is more widespread.

His game is about soccer, so why would he put football in the title?

Because everyone else in the world calls it football, and usually these “soccer” games are only played by people from Europe/South America.

Super Striker League is a popular football/soccer game yet it appears to not have the word soccer.

It’s made by Cindering, a well-known developer that made Roblox High School 1 and 2, and the game is well made, of course it’s gonna be popular.

Yes but I’m saying R_obotz doesn’t necessarily need the word soccer for the title of his game.

To clear up what @alexfinger21 said, I am assuming you’re American. In America, what we call Soccer is called Football by the rest of the world. What we call Football doesn’t exist in the rest of the world

UPDATE: It’s been 3 weeks and absolutely nothing has changed in the rankings. I’m having the same trouble with my hockey game and my tennis game. I have been running ads almost daily on the game yet it still doesn’t appear on the search results. I am clueless about what I should do and it’s terribly affecting my game. The robux I spend on ads would be unnecessary if the search engine was accurate.

LAST UPDATE!

I changed my game’s title from “Street Strikers” to “Street Soccer Strikers” and the rank immediatly changed from 161th to 34th result to appear upon searching the keyword “soccer” and the active players count went up TREMENDOUSLY!

What I conclude from this is that having an original unique name negatively affects your game (with our current search ranking system)

If your game is a soccer game, have soccer or football in the title. If your game is a hockey game, put hockey in the title. It’s really unfortunate but it’s the best practice to get your game rank higher in the search results because these common keywords are what children type in the search bar to discover new games.
