Domain structure decisions, market prioritization, competitor analysis per locale, and a 12-month roadmap so your brand ranks where it matters.
Expanding into new markets without a clear SEO strategy means wasting budget on the wrong channels and the wrong keywords. Our international SEO strategy service starts with the fundamentals: which markets represent the greatest organic opportunity, which domain structure (ccTLDs, subdirectories, or subdomains) will serve your long-term goals, and which competitors are already winning the rankings you want.
A prioritized list of target markets ranked by organic search opportunity, competitive gap, and your existing domain authority in each region.
A clear recommendation between ccTLDs, subdirectories, and subdomains with the rationale explained in plain language for your technical and marketing teams.
A keyword-level gap analysis comparing your current rankings against your top three organic competitors in each target locale.
A month-by-month content calendar and link-building plan in each target language, tied to commercial search intent and conversion goals.

The right structure depends on budget, technical resources, and long-term goals. ccTLDs give the strongest geo-targeting signal but require separate link-building for each domain. Subdirectories are easier to manage and consolidate authority on one root domain. Subdomains offer a middle ground but have historically been treated as separate sites by Google. We provide a written recommendation specific to your situation during the strategy phase.
A full strategy covering three to five target markets typically takes two to three weeks. This includes market opportunity analysis, domain structure recommendation, per-market competitor audit, and the 12-month content and link plan. Rush turnarounds for one or two markets are available.
We offer both. The strategy deliverable is a standalone document your in-house team or another agency can implement. We also offer full implementation, including multilingual content production, technical SEO setup, and ongoing monthly reporting across all target markets.
