What it's for

International SEO is a structure decision, not a translation job.

We pick the right domain structure, implement hreflang without conflicts, localize content by market (not just language) and manage cannibalization across countries.

/01
Architecture

ccTLD vs subfolder vs subdomain — by business reality.

We pick the structure that matches your brand, your engineering capacity and your market priorities. Migrations between structures are possible — we've done them without traffic loss.

/02
Hreflang

Hreflang implementation that actually works.

Sitemap-based, HTTP header or HTML tag — by site. Bidirectional, with x-default, self-referencing and validated. We audit GSC for hreflang errors and fix them at the source.

/03
Local relevance

Localization beyond translation.

Local entities, local examples, local pricing, local payment methods, local objection handling. Markets aren't languages — they're markets.

/04
Cross-market cannibalization

Markets that don't fight each other for the same query.

Spanish from Spain vs Mexico vs Argentina: same language, different intents and SERPs. We map and prevent cross-market cannibalization.

Frequently asked

What heads of international ask us

Don't see your question? Write to us directly.

ccTLD, subfolder or subdomain — which one?+

Depends on brand consistency, engineering capacity and market autonomy. ccTLD gives best local signal but fragments authority and engineering. Subfolder concentrates authority but limits market autonomy. Subdomain is rarely the right answer outside specific cases. We pick with you based on your reality.

Can you migrate from ccTLD to subfolder (or vice versa)?+

Yes. We've led both directions. Migration is sensitive but doable with a redirect playbook, parity tests and 24/7 monitoring. Realistic horizon: 6-12 weeks of preparation, gradual rollout, 4-8 weeks of monitoring after.

How do you handle Spanish for Spain vs LATAM vs Mexico?+

Same language, three markets, three intent maps and three SERPs. We treat each as its own market with its own content layer, hreflang variants (es-ES, es-MX, es-419) and entity localization.

Do you work with brands that need to launch a new market?+

Yes. Market entry strategy: TAM analysis, SERP audit, competitive map, localization plan, content roadmap and 12-month forecast. We can also operate the launch with your team.

How do you measure international SEO?+

By market. Each market has its own KPI tree (traffic, conversions, pipeline, share of search) and we report against it. A global average hides which markets are healthy.

Do you work with non-Romance languages?+

We operate in Spanish, English, Portuguese and French. For German, Italian, Dutch, Nordic or Asian languages we work with vetted local partners we've collaborated with before.

Let's design your international SEO.

Market audit, structure decision, hreflang plan and a phased rollout. From market 1 to market 20, with the right playbook.
