What is international SEO?

International SEO is the process of optimising your online presence to reach and engage customers across different countries. When people around the world search for your products or services, international SEO ensures your business appears prominently in relevant search results, no matter your audience's location.

Without a solid international SEO strategy, your business risks missing out on valuable global opportunities, falling behind international competitors, and losing visibility in key markets.

Why international SEO matters

  • Boost global search rankings: Appear at the top of search engines when customers in your target countries search for your products or services.

  • Drive international traffic: Optimised multi-regional content makes it easy for customers worldwide to discover and interact with your business.

  • Build trust and credibility: Using language and terminology that resonate with each market, along with culturally relevant content strengthens your global reputation and helps attract more leads.

  • Maximise ROI: International SEO delivers high-intent traffic from multiple regions, turning your investment into measurable growth through increased sales, leads, and a stronger global brand presence.

Our approach to international SEO

01

SEO Audit

We begin with an SEO audit to assess your website’s current global performance. We evaluate technical SEO factors such as hreflang implementation, site structure, and geo-targeting to ensure your site is set up for international success.

The outcome? A detailed audit that highlights urgent technical issues, uncovers gaps in your global visibility, and provides actionable recommendations to improve rankings and increase organic traffic in your target locations.

02

Keyword research

Effective international SEO starts with in-depth keyword research tailored to each target market. We identify high-value search terms using tools like SEMrush and Google Search Console. Our research considers cultural nuances, local search behaviour, and regional trends to ensure your content resonates with global audiences.

By aligning keywords with user intent in each market, we drive relevant international visitors to your site and boost your visibility in search results worldwide.

03

Tailored content strategy

A content strategy informed by local cultural preferences and search habits is essential for international SEO. We adjust tone, style, and messaging to resonate with each audience.

Our team go beyond simple keyword insertion by researching how people in each region search for products and services, what topics matter most to them, and how they expect information to be presented.

04

On page optimisations

We fine-tune your website’s content and meta data to target search intent, ensuring your site is both user-friendly and search engine ready.

Our approach includes optimising titles, meta descriptions, and headings to reflect how users in each region actually search, taking into account cultural nuances and local terminology.

05

International link building

Establish your brand’s domain authority and credibility in every market you target. We focus on securing high-quality backlinks from relevant, trusted websites in your target regions.

The stronger your domain authority, the more visible and competitive your brand becomes internationally.

06
