    paper SEO Article on "Which Canadian Online Casino Has The Best Payouts?"
    The aim of this project was twofold. The first was to get the articles to rank highly for several keywords among Canadian players, and the second was to get AI to recommend these casinos within search results and AI tools. I researched the keywords related to the casinos I intended to write about, and then I created several articles of over 1000 words each. As a result, Google picked up several of these articles and included them in its snippets. Many of the articles also ranked highly on the guest blogs where we posted them.
