We research search behaviour in each target market — not just translated keywords, but how buyers in that language and culture actually search for your product category, which competitors are already established, and what content depth is required to compete. The strategy is market-specific, not a translated version of your English plan.
We implement hreflang correctly, structure your international site architecture for crawlability, and eliminate the technical errors — incorrect hreflang pairs, duplicate content, incorrect canonicalisation — that cause international pages to cannibalise each other rather than compound.
We create content written for each market, not translated for it. Native-language writers who understand local search intent, cultural context, and how your buyers in that market describe the problem you solve. The difference in performance between translated and truly localised content is significant and measurable.
Domain authority built in your home market doesn't automatically transfer to international rankings. We build relevant backlinks in each target market — through localised outreach, multilingual guest posting, and in-market PR — giving your international pages the authority signals they need to compete.
International SEO adds layers of technical complexity — hreflang, ccTLD vs subdirectory vs subdomain decisions, duplicate content across language variants — while also requiring market-specific keyword research, localised content, and in-market link building. The strategy and execution are fundamentally different from running SEO in a single language and market.
We support international SEO programmes across major European markets (UK, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL), North America, and APAC. Language support includes English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese. If you're targeting a market not listed here, we'll tell you honestly whether we have the network to execute it properly.
Translation produces content that's linguistically accurate but rarely search-optimised for the target market. Keyword volumes, intent signals, and competitive dynamics differ significantly between markets. We build content from keyword research in each language rather than translating English content — which is why localised programmes consistently outperform translation-based approaches.
New market entry typically produces initial ranking movements within 3–4 months as pages are indexed and authority begins to build. Meaningful organic traffic usually follows at 6–9 months. The 3-month launch programme establishes the technical foundation, content base, and link building programme — the compound growth builds from there.
Month 1: Market research, technical audit and internationalisation fixes, hreflang implementation. Month 2: Localised content strategy and first content batch, international link building outreach begins. Month 3: Monitoring, content expansion, and reporting on early ranking movements. You end with a properly structured international programme — not just translated pages pushed live.
We assess each target market against three criteria: search demand for your category in that language, competitive intensity from established local and international players, and your current ability to serve customers in that market. We recommend entering markets where the opportunity is clearest first and build a phased roadmap for subsequent expansion.
We build links in each target market using in-market publishers, native-language content, and localised outreach. English backlinks alone don't transfer international authority effectively. Market-specific link building is a core part of every international SEO programme we run.
