International SEO Services for Global Sites
Our international SEO services are for businesses that sell, or plan to sell, in more than one country or language. Ranking abroad takes more than translated pages: each market has its own search terms, competitors and sometimes its own search engine. We work as an international SEO agency on the structure, signals and content that help search engines show the right version of your site to the right people.

Key takeaways
- Every language or regional version must reference the others, or search engines may ignore the hreflang annotations.
- Translation is done by qualified translators you approve or by your own staff, guided by keyword research per market.
- We avoid forced redirects by IP address and offer a clear language or country switcher instead.
Choosing Markets and a Site Structure
We start with the markets you serve today and the ones you are considering, using search demand, competitors and your sales data to rank them. Then we decide how the site should be organized. Country-code domains, such as .de or .fr, send the clearest country signal but split your authority and cost more to run. Subdirectories like example.com/de/ keep everything on one domain and are simplest to manage. Subdomains sit in between.
The choice depends on your brand, legal setup, budget and how different each market's offer is. We lay out the trade-offs and agree the structure with you before any build work starts.
Hreflang and Technical Signals
Hreflang annotations tell search engines which language and regional versions of a page exist, so a searcher in Mexico sees the Mexican Spanish page rather than the one for Spain. They sit alongside the rest of your technical SEO.
Hreflang Mapping
We map every page to its equivalents in other languages and regions, using valid language codes and optional country codes.
Return Links
Each version must reference the others. Missing return tags are a common reason hreflang gets ignored, so we check them on every crawl.
X-Default
We set a fallback page, often a language or country selector, for visitors whose settings do not match any version.
Redirect Rules
We avoid forcing visitors to a version by IP address alone, which can hide other versions from crawlers, and offer a clear switcher instead.
Sitemaps and Search Console
On large sites hreflang can live in XML sitemaps, and we monitor each market's section separately in Search Console.
Localized Content and Translation
Translated pages often target the wrong terms, because people in different countries search differently even in the same language. We research keywords in each market and brief content around how local buyers actually search, including units, currencies, spelling and local competitors.
Translation itself is done by qualified translators you approve, or by your own staff if you prefer. We do not present ourselves as native speakers of every market's language. We supply keyword research, briefs and on-page SEO for each language, then check the finished pages for titles, headings, internal links and metadata before they go live. For English-language markets, our SEO content writing service can write the pages directly.
Search Engines Beyond Google
Google is the main search engine in most Western markets, but not everywhere. Baidu matters in China, Naver in South Korea, Yandex in Russia and Seznam in the Czech Republic. Bing reads the content-language Meta tag as a signal, while Google relies on the visible text of the page. If a priority market leans on another engine, we adjust the technical setup and content plan for it and tell you plainly where our coverage stops.
Paid search often runs alongside organic work when entering a new country, because it shows which terms convert while content builds. See our Google Ads management service if you want both.
How an International SEO Consultant Measures Each Market
We report by market rather than sitewide: impressions, clicks and positions per country from Search Console, organic sessions and conversions per site section from your analytics, and hreflang errors found in our crawls. That way a strong home market cannot hide a weak new one.
We do not promise rankings or traffic in any country. New markets often start with little local authority and depend on competition, content quality and links. We commit to the agreed work and to honest reporting.
Working With an International SEO Company: Access and Cost
You give us access to Search Console, analytics and your CMS or a staging site. You keep ownership of every domain, account and piece of content. Translation costs sit outside our fee, whether you use translators you approve or your own people.
Plans start at $1,000 a month, run month to month and end on 7 days' written notice. One-off work, such as an hreflang setup or a market structure plan, gets a fixed quote in writing. For how international work connects to the rest of search, see our SEO services, and for multi-region sites at scale, our enterprise SEO service. Brands that sell only in the US can see our national SEO service.

International SEO Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Ask us anything else on the free audit call.
Subfolders are simplest and keep authority on one domain. Country domains send the strongest local signal but take more work to build up. We recommend one after looking at your markets, brand and resources.
Usually not. Search terms differ between countries even in the same language, and a direct translation can miss them. Each market needs its own keyword research and on-page work.
Qualified translators you approve, or your own people. We provide the keyword research and briefs, and check the finished pages for SEO before launch.
It tells search engines which version of a page suits which language or region. It does not lift rankings by itself; it helps the right version appear for the right searcher.
We advise against automatic redirects based only on IP address. A banner or selector that suggests the local version while letting people choose works better for visitors and search engines.
