Volka growth playbook

Add a "Taonga is on mobile" banner and news post on the portal with a Google Play link, a QR code for desktop players and a welcome gift for installing. Explain that the mobile game has its own story, so it adds to the web game instead of replacing it. Tag the link so installs from the portal show up separately, and build a retargeting audience of portal players for the new creatives.

Web players already love the art and the world; a link and a gift turn them into mobile installs at almost no cost, and the same audience makes a strong seed for lookalike targeting.

[ ] Banner on the portal homepage after login

• Web players move and stop paying on web

  Keep the two games separate and reward playing both.

• Gift abuse

  One gift per mobile account, claimed after the tutorial.

• HiringMarketing Creative Producer (Limassol, posted August 13, 2026): leads "the creative production behind Taonga marketing videos"; will "Conduct in-depth competitor research, analysing creatives and advertising trends", "Produce scripts, briefs and storyboards for artists, motion designers, and playable teams", deliver "video, static and playable creatives; assets for store pages and retargeting ad campaigns", work with "the UA, Creatives Production and Game Production teams", and "Design, run and analyse experiments to validate creative hypotheses". A portfolio with "performance marketing, ASO, and creative development work" is required.Source
• Taonga web portaltaongafarm.com, home of the original game, is served in 13 languages with hreflang tags. Its homepage is a sign-up screen, and its "About the Game" page says Taonga is "a free farming game you can play right on your computer or Chromebook" or "connect through Facebook". Neither page, nor the news page, mentions or links to the mobile game (checked October 22, 2026).Source
• Your websitevolka.com: "With 100 people across 2 offices, our team is creating the world of Taonga"; the Marketing team "works on user acquisition". The Games page says the mobile game has "a new original story and game features" and links only to the web portal and to Google Play. The site has six pages in its sitemap and no news, press or player page.Source
• Taonga news pagetaongafarm.com/news posts daily puzzles, island launches and festival guides with time-limited rewards; posts collect 1,000-3,200 reactions each (for example a vote to name the new "Island of the ___ Mirror" drew 3.2K likes and 573 "wow" reactions).Source
• Google PlayTaonga Island Adventure: Farm on Google Play: 4.4 stars from 49.3K reviews, 1M+ downloads, in-app purchases, rated Everyone, "Available on Android, Windows", updated October 22, 2026. The "What's new" text reads "Various improvements and fixes". The description is one long generic block ("Start your own family!", "Fall in love") and does not mention the art style or the islands, quests and battles the job posts describe.Source

Use Google Play's store listing experiments: test the icon, the first three screenshots and the short description, one at a time. Lead with the painterly art and the island adventure, which players and job posts both name as the reason they stay.

Every paid and organic visitor sees the store page, so a lift in store conversion lowers the cost of every install.

• Small samples in small markets

  Test in the largest markets first.

• Google Play reviewsThe most helpful recent reviews (July and August 2026) praise the game ("The graphics are great, storyline is good and there's lots of little adventures") but complain that "the energy runs out fast", storage "fill way too quickly" and new workshops cost too much; one says "I wound up purchasing way too much". Volka replies to each, pointing players to the in-game FAQ.Source

Use the same story as the news post: name the new island or event, the reward and the end date. Keep it to three lines and translate it with the news post.

Update notes are seen by lapsed players when the app updates, and they show store visitors the game is alive.

• Notes promise content that slips

  Write them after the build is approved.

Write a short "Energy and storage" guide with the best free ways to earn energy and free storage, post it on the news page and support site, and show the tip in the game the first time a player runs out of energy. Link it in review replies.

It turns the most common complaint into a helpful moment, which protects ratings and reduces churn at the point of frustration.

• Players want more energy, not tips

  Feed review themes into balance reviews (idea 12).

• Google Play reviewsThe most helpful recent reviews (July and August 2026) praise the game ("The graphics are great, storyline is good and there's lots of little adventures") but complain that "the energy runs out fast", storage "fill way too quickly" and new workshops cost too much; one says "I wound up purchasing way too much".

Publish a sitemap listing every language version of the home, About and news pages, add a robots.txt that points to it, and submit both in Search Console.

Search engines find and refresh the language versions faster, which helps "free farming game" searches in each language.

• Indexing private pages

  List only public pages.

• Taonga web portaltaongafarm.com has no robots.txt and no sitemap.xml (both return 404), so the 13 language versions and the guide pages are discovered only through links.Source

Render the open roles server-side from the Ashby API, with JobPosting structured data and the relocation benefits on each role page. Keep the Ashby application form.

Relocation hires depend on reach outside Cyprus, and job search engines are where candidates look first.

• Stale roles stay listed

  Rebuild the page when the board changes.

• Your websitevolka.com/careers loads its roles through an Ashby embed script: the page HTML contains no job titles, text or JobPosting markup, so the open roles and the relocation package (housing, car, childcare, Greek or English lessons) are invisible to search engines that do not run the script.

Reserve the carousel's height and size its images, and load fonts without swapping layout. Check again in the Chrome UX Report after 28 days.

The site is mostly seen by candidates and partners; a stable page reads as a polished studio.

• Visual changes

  Keep the same design.

• Google PageSpeedvolka.com on mobile: lab performance score 96 and LCP 2.6 s (the largest element is the homepage photo carousel). Real Chrome visitors: LCP p75 2.3 s (good, 39% faster than before) but layout shift (CLS) p75 0.19, above the 0.1 "good" threshold.Source

Treat iOS as the core of the global launch: soft-launch in two English-speaking markets, reuse the store experiments and creatives proven on Android, and set install and retention targets before scaling spend.

Farm and adventure games earn a large share of their revenue on iPhone, and Taonga's art travels well in store screenshots.

• Launch slips

  Set a soft-launch date and scope it small.

• Your websitevolka.com About page timeline: Taonga launched on Facebook in 2016 and became "Best Web Game of the year"; the Taonga Game Portal followed in 2018; the client was rewritten in Haxe in 2019; "The mobile version of Taonga is published on Google Appstore" in 2021; the 2025 entry reads "Mobile Taonga is preparing for the Global Launch!

Each week, brief ten static concepts from competitor research and past results, have the AI artist produce them in all sizes, test them with a small budget, and turn the two winners into video and playable versions.

Cheap static tests pick the ideas worth expensive video and playable production.

• Off-brand AI art

  Art director sign-off on every concept.

Write a one-page marketing style guide (line, colour, characters, palette) with approved references, train the AI artist's models on in-game art, and check every ad against the guide.

Consistent art keeps the promise in the ad matched to the game, which protects day-1 retention.

• Slows production

  A quick checklist rather than a full review.

Send a weekly email with the new island, the current puzzle and the reward deadline, in the player's language. Segment lapsed players with a comeback gift.

Email reaches players who no longer open the game or follow the page, and reward deadlines give a reason to return.

Tag reviews and support tickets by theme, compare with retention and payer data at the levels where complaints start, and test small changes (storage rewards, cheaper first workshop) with a share of players.

Fixing the point where players feel squeezed can raise long-term revenue even if early spend dips.

• Revenue drop

  Test with a small share first.

• Google Play reviewsThe most helpful recent reviews (July and August 2026) praise the game ("The graphics are great, storyline is good and there's lots of little adventures") but complain that "the energy runs out fast", storage "fill way too quickly" and new workshops cost too much; one says "I wound up purchasing way too much".

Give each puzzle a shareable image and link with the Taonga art and a "play free" link, ask players to share for a small bonus, and track installs from shared links.

Friends of players are the best new players, and the puzzle is a low-pressure invitation.
