International SEO services for businesses selling across borders
My international SEO services help the right version of your site show up in the right country. Buyers in the US, UK and Australia search differently, spell differently and trust different signals. I set up your site so Google knows which page to show where — then I help each market rank.

01 / the problem
One site, many markets, the wrong page ranking
Going international usually starts simply. You add a few pages, maybe a currency switcher, and hope Google sorts it out. It often doesn’t. Common results:
- Your US page ranks in the UK, with US prices and US spelling.
- Two near-identical country pages compete with each other, so neither ranks well.
- Translated pages exist, but nobody checked what people search for in that language.
- Local buyers see no local proof, so they don’t trust you enough to get in touch.
Each of these is fixable. Good international SEO services start with a clear structure and a plan for each market.
02 / what’s included
What my international SEO services include
All of this sits on top of my core SEO services, so each market gets the same reporting and care.
-
Research
Market and keyword research
I research how buyers in each target country search for what you sell. Spelling, terms and intent often differ. “Attorney” and “solicitor” are not the same search.
-
Hreflang
Site structure and hreflang
I choose the right setup for your markets and configure hreflang — a tag that tells Google which language and country each page is for, so it shows the right one.
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-gb" …> -
On-page
Localized on-page SEO
I adapt titles, headings, content, currency, units and proof for each market. Localized means rewritten for that audience, not just translated.
-
Technical
Technical checks for every version
I make sure each country version is crawlable, indexed and fast. That builds on my technical SEO work.
-
Links
Market-specific authority
Links from sites in each country help Google trust you there. I plan link building by market.
03 / structure
Choosing a structure for your international site
There are three common ways to organize country or language versions. Each works. The right one depends on your budget, team and markets. Pick a market in the switcher above and the examples follow.
For most clients of my international SEO services, subfolders are the simplest to manage. I’ll recommend a structure after reviewing your current site and goals. If it means moving pages, I handle the website migration with full redirects.
04 / languages
Multilingual SEO that goes beyond translation
Multilingual SEO means optimizing your site in more than one language. It is more than translation. People searching in another language use different words, and sometimes look for different things.
I build and optimize multilingual websites in WordPress, with every language version set up properly — see WordPress development.

What I do for each language
- Research keywords in that language, not translated ones.
- Write or review titles, headings and meta descriptions natively.
- Set hreflang so each language version is shown to the right audience.
- Check layout, fonts and forms work properly in that language.
05 / who does the work
Why hire an international SEO consultant
International SEO has many moving parts: structure, tags, content and links across several markets. Small mistakes repeat in every version. One person seeing the whole picture catches them.
I deliver international SEO services remotely to clients worldwide, mainly in the US, UK and Australia.
Consultant or international SEO agency?
An international SEO agency may make sense if you need dozens of languages at once and a large team. For most businesses entering two to five markets, one consultant is faster and clearer.
- You speak directly to the person doing the work.
- I fix technical issues myself, because I also build WordPress sites.
- One plan covers every market, so nothing contradicts.
- You get a single report showing each market side by side.

“I won’t translate a page and call it localized. Each market gets its own research, its own words and its own proof, or I tell you it isn’t ready.”
What do international SEO services include?
My international SEO services include market and keyword research for each country, choosing a site structure, hreflang setup, localized on-page SEO, technical checks for every version and market-specific link building. You also get monthly reporting that shows each market side by side. The goal is simple: the right page appears for the right buyer in each country, and those visitors turn into inquiries.
What is the difference between international SEO and multilingual SEO?
International SEO targets different countries, which may share a language, like the US, UK and Australia. Multilingual SEO targets different languages, like English and German. Many sites need both. Each needs its own keyword research, content and hreflang setup. I handle both together so your structure stays clean and each version reaches the right audience.
Should I hire an international SEO consultant or an international SEO agency?
An international SEO agency can suit very large projects with many languages at once. For most businesses entering a few new markets, an international SEO consultant is faster and clearer. You work directly with me, I fix technical issues myself, and one plan covers every market. That avoids handovers and conflicting advice between separate teams.
Do I need a separate website for each country?
Not usually, and international SEO services don’t require it. Subfolders on one domain, like yourbrand.com/uk/, are often the simplest option because every market shares the same domain authority. Country domains can send a stronger local signal but need more work to build up. I’ll recommend the right structure for your budget and markets after the free audit.
How long does international SEO take to show results?
With international SEO services, timing depends on your current site, the markets you target and the competition in each. New country versions often take 3–6 months to settle in search results. Markets where you already have some visibility usually move faster. I’ll set realistic expectations for each market in your audit and track progress monthly.
