SEO Contest 2025 – Anyone Using GSA SER to Compete for "Keywordkönig"?

Hey everyone,

I came across the current SEO Contest 2025, where participants compete to rank on Google for a completely made-up term: Keywordkönig (basically "keyword king" in German).

Since the keyword has no prior history, no search volume, and no domain authority tied to it, it’s actually a great environment to test strategies without legacy interference — and that got me wondering:

Has anyone here used GSA SER in a contest like this?

I’m especially curious about:

  • Which platforms/engines are working well for German-language content these days

  • Whether tiered link building still holds up in 2025

  • If contests like this are actually useful for client visibility or more for testing and fun

One example I found impressive is this entry from the agency Semtrix: https://www.semtrix.de/keywordkoenig/
It’s very creative, almost gamified, with solid on-page work behind the scenes.

Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences with SEO contests — or how you'd approach one using GSA tools.

    Nice marketing idea to push a keyword and thus the agency running the 'competition'.

    AI overviews are showing their impact on SEO agencies.

    I would use GSA Keyword Research for it as well, if you plan to participate. Because with this underrated product, you quickly see how to optimise your website to outperform competitors.

    I use it for content gen! I get great results making money site ai content using KWR. Fantastic tool I can’t believe more people don’t use it.

    I think it was the late 2000s the last time I entered one of these SEO contests, the 'redscowl bluesingsky' one. Now I just use them as reverse engineering targets :)

    I’ve seen GSA SER work pretty well when combined with solid on-page setups. If you're planning to push something like local seo for hotels, mixing in niche edits and some citations has helped me stick results longer. Just be careful with the anchors—don’t overdo exact match, especially early on. I usually warm up with branded or URL links first, then slowly add in keywords.
