Our International SEO Consultancy Process
SEO Audits
Prior to launching an international SEO strategy, we conduct comprehensive audits of content, technical aspects, and analyse the competitor landscape. These evaluations lay the groundwork for a tailored, long-term international SEO plan.
We continuously develop our auditing processes to ensure we can clearly identify issues and opportunities for where we can develop your international presence.
Keyword Research
Keyword research is extremely important for any SEO campaign, especially for international campaigns. Beyond language differences, the interpretation and intent of keywords can differ widely between countries. For instance, in the UK, the term ‘biscuit’ refers to what is known as a ‘cookie’ in the US, demonstrating the importance of thorough research before creating content.
Bespoke Strategy
Collecting data through our keyword research and audits allows our international SEO consultants to create a bespoke global SEO strategy. We invest time in understanding your business, industry, audience, and goals, to design a strategy which fits with your brand’s current positioning, KPIs, and the industry landscape.
Tailored Content
We conduct in-depth research from a content perspective, so our tone of voice matches a native user’s perspective. Users aren’t going to trust sites with spelling mistakes, or sentences which don’t make sense in their language.
As international SEO consultants, we know that the same content may not work across all countries. The localised content created as part of an international SEO strategy must be accurate and relevant to the target audience.
International Site Structure
International site structure is one of the most essential elements of any global SEO strategy. Our experienced international SEO consultants use their expertise to utilise subdomains, subfolders, or country codes for the top-level domain.
Setting up the site structure correctly from the start provides us with a framework that gives your website optimal organisation, improves international visibility, and supports long-term growth. A well-structured site not only helps search engines understand your content’s relevance to different regions, but also improves user experience, making it easier for international audiences to find what they need.
Language Targeting
Language targeting involves adding hreflang tags into your website’s code. Hreflang is an HTML code which tells search engines what language a website is written in, while making sure the user is viewing the page in the correct language.
Our international SEO consultants have lots of experience when it comes to implementing hreflang tags, which when paired with international site structure, helps your website’s pages rank in different countries.
