International SEO

International SEO is one of the SEO Agency Services AndMine provide as an end-to-end digital agency.

What is International SEO?

International SEO is the process of optimising your website to improve its visibility in search engines in global locations. Unlike a ‘real life’ site, like a shop, which caters only to the audience in its immediate vicinity, a digital site, like an e-store, can be accessed by anyone, anywhere, so long as they are online.

In order to tap into the vast digital audience that exists beyond the geographical limitations of your ‘real life’ business, you need to establish a specific global SEO strategy that identifies the desired audiences and targets them effectively through search.

A strong global SEO strategy will consider foreign market and competitor analysis, culturally relevant and linguistically correct content and technical adaptations such as URL alterations.

When executed properly, international search engine optimisation will help you drive the right traffic to the right content and translate to increased global sales.

International SEO AndMine

We provide global SEO services and work with clients to launch international SEO campaigns that reach new global audiences and induce growth. We start by understanding your business goals, your current rankings in foreign markets and analysing the market to identify relevant opportunities.

We look for:

• Keyword capitalisation opportunities
• Untapped content topic areas
• Global audiences demanding your product
• Global areas with an untapped market opportunity

Once the opportunities have been identified, we design a bespoke global SEO strategy for your brand. For new locations, and particularly those where a different language is spoken, it is likely that an entirely new content strategy will be needed. 

To design the new content strategy, we take the following into account:

• Competitor activity
• Local language(s)
• Geo-specific language nuances
• Cultural nuances
• Seasonality (ie. holidays, seasons, important dates etc.)
• Search engine popularity

By avoiding any lapses in communication between your brand and your audience, you are less likely to lose traffic in confusion and more likely to convert. This can be affected by something as small as spelling it ‘optimization’ (U.S. English spelling) when targeting a New York audience to something a big as changing your website’s colours to suit subconscious, national preferences.

In addition to the geo-specific content strategy, we grow SEO efforts both creatively and technically through the following white hat SEO techniques:

• Local link building
• Social media presence
• Website coding including URL adaptations
• Website specifics including currency, time zone & contact

Global Success through International SEO

With the international search engine optimisation strategy in place, we intelligently analyse how your Google rankings are improving, what the quality of the new traffic is and whether conversion rates are optimal.

We understand that a global SEO campaign needs to garner global awareness and global sales and we work dedicatedly to generate a healthy ROI for your company.

If we encounter through our SEO reporting that business abroad is not increasing with the new global SEO strategy, we look closely to see where the issue lies. This could result in a shift in target markets, a content angle overhaul or even going back to the drawing board to identify new ways of pitching to new audiences. Either way, we always have honest conversations with our clients so we can overcome issues quickly and find solutions that work and drive global success.
