How to promote a Telegram bot to the top of keyword search?

Our site lavasmm.com lets you effectively promote Telegram bots in keyword search. The full range of subscriber- and activity-boosting services is available for this. Below is a working method and two ready-made schemes for different levels of competition.


Preparing the bot

For promotion to succeed, the bot must be able to:

● accept the /start command;

● broadcast messages to subscribers;

● automatically reply to any incoming message.

Recommendations for the bot itself:

● the bot's GEO should match the region you're promoting in;

● bots aged 2+ months promote best — higher results, lower ban risk;

● if you use a purchased account, it should be aged at least 2 weeks and free of spam blocks.


Check your bot for a ban before you start.
Shadow ban: paste the bot's link into Telegram search from an account that isn't in the bot. If the bot appears in search, there's no shadow ban.
GEO ban: delete the last character of the link; if the bot still appears in search, there's no GEO ban.


Name and keywords

● You can add up to 5 keywords or search queries to the name (1 keyword = 1 word). Punctuation and conjunctions count as words too.

● The name can be written in either Latin or Cyrillic script.

● 10 minutes after setup, check for a GEO ban. If banned — recreate the bot with a different name.

● Change design elements one at a time with at least a 5-hour gap: name first, then avatar, then description — this avoids a GEO ban.

● If you bought a bot aged 2+ months, it's best not to change the design at all until it reaches the top — promote it as is, and change it once it's there.


How many subscribers you need

● To confidently take first place, you usually need about 70–80% of the current leader's subscribers — in practice, 1–5% more than the nearest competitor.

● Benchmark for competitive keywords — 12,000–15,000 subscribers. For low-frequency queries, far fewer may be enough.

● Every day (starting Sunday, around 9:00–9:30 MSK), run a broadcast to your boosted subscribers — until the bot reaches the top.

How to hold your positions

If you're promoting highly competitive keywords, after reaching the top, add about 1% of your total subscribers every day using any service from the Telegram Premium Bot Start category.


Useful recommendations

● The main contribution to promotion comes from Telegram Premium accounts, but before boosting them you must warm up the bot with regular subscribers — otherwise you risk a ban.

● All timings are chosen around when Telegram’s internal statistics refresh, for maximum results at minimum cost. You can deviate from them and still get results — just less efficiently.

● Run the broadcast before the boosted subscribers start their activity: they read the sent messages, which strengthens the effect.

● Many bots in the top are boosted carelessly, so with 12,000–15,000 quality subscribers you can realistically outrank competitors with 50,000+.
