International SEO is about structuring and scaling your content (or your product database) for new markets and new languages. International search engine optimization is a type of SEO strategy that focuses on a more specific SEO challenge — namely, multilingual SEO.
If you need help or advice on international or multilingual SEO, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at Topdog.
Who needs global SEO, and when?
If any of the situations below sound familiar, there’s a good chance you need international SEO:
- You’re an e-commerce business looking to scale into more countries.
- You’re about to undertake an international expansion.
- You’d like to expand internationally but feel unsure about how to go about it, or about the value such an expansion would bring.
- Your website feels cluttered and doesn’t work well from an international perspective.
- You want to know whether you made any mistakes the last time you tackled international SEO.
How does Topdog approach international SEO?
International SEO is a specialised SEO strategy focused on a specific problem. We develop the SEO strategy and help you put the action plan into practice, following the same philosophy and principles we apply to any other SEO project. A strategy for international search engine optimization needs to answer four questions:
- What needs to be done?
- Who should do it?
- When should it be done?
- How should it be done?
Above all, we want our clients to take on as much of the work as possible. Partly this is a matter of cost, but it also produces better results: an SEO consultant will never know your business the way you do.
What does international SEO involve?
A number of factors have to be managed within an international SEO strategy, and the strategy needs to answer several questions if it’s going to succeed:
- Which activities need to be carried out for your SEO on Google to succeed in your target markets?
- How should those activities be carried out?
- Who should carry them out?
- When should they be carried out?
On top of this, there are several decisions that company management needs to make for the SEO strategy to succeed — and making those decisions calls for the right data and insights.
Examples of questions an international SEO strategy answers
Here are a few examples of the issues addressed in a strategic plan for international or global SEO:
- Should we use top-level domains or folders?
- What user-facing adaptations does each country require?
- How should we handle copy, translations and unique content?
- Which technical measures need to be put in place (such as a country-selector page and hreflang)?
- How should links be managed in each country?
- How should we structure our URLs?
How does Topdog deliver an international SEO strategy?
The hardest part of SEO is the execution. Almost every organisation struggles to see SEO through. That’s why we at Topdog always try to structure information in a way that makes activities easier to carry out. For example, technical tasks can be documented within the project-management system for the client’s tech team, so they can be reviewed in an orderly way and the tech team can give their feedback. We also make sure company management fully understands the implications of every activity, and we help leadership make well-informed decisions so that execution becomes more straightforward.
Many of our clients choose to have Topdog project-manage the improvements when they roll out an international SEO strategy.
