ON GOALS & RESOURCES
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
One of the most
common challenges is
not having resources

DO
ASSESS THE WEB STRUCTURE
TO USE FOR EACH MARKET
BASED ON GEOLOCATION
NEEDS, COMPETITION &
SCALABILITY
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
Avoid using scripts or
cookies to show 

international versions
w/ the same URLs
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
Only one of the country/language 

versions will be indexable
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
Don’t use
parameters for
your international
Web structure,
specially for
countries, as you
won’t be able to
geolocate them
through the
Google Search
Console

CCTLDS
SUB-DIRECTORIES W/ GTLDS
SUB-DOMAINS W/ GTLDS
If you’re country targeting, select between 

ccTLDs, Subdirectories & Subdomains
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
* Need less technical resources
* Need less efforts to grow popularity

* More chances to get all versions penalized if something goes bad
* Need more efforts to geolocate
* Need more technical resources
* Need more efforts to grow popularity
* Better than sub-directories to organize larger & more complex sites

* Need more efforts to geolocate
*Ideal alternative to geolocate if competition is not too high
*Need more technical resources
*Need more efforts to grow popularity with a new domain
CCTLDS
SUB-DIRECTORIES W/ GTLDS
SUB-DOMAINS W/ GTLDS
Each have pros & cons to country target

If you’re language targeting, select between using
subdirectories or subdomains
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
* Need less technical resources
*Need less efforts to grow popularity
*Generates a deeper url structure
*More chances to get all versions penalized if something goes bad
* Need more technical resources
* Need more efforts to grow popularity
* Generates shorter URL structure which can be better for larger sites
SUB-DIRECTORIES W/ GTLDS
SUB-DOMAINS W/ GTLDS
Which also have pros & cons to language target
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
Be mindful that you can't use subdirectories or
subdomains under ccTLDs to geolocate other countries

BRAND.COM/LOCATION-PRODUCT/LOCATION-USER-LANGUAGE-USER/
BRAND.COM/LOCATION-USER-LANGUAGE-USER/LOCATION-PRODUCT/
BRAND.COM/LOCATION-PRODUCT/LOCATION-USER/LANGUAGE-USER/
... and that if you use
sub-directories to
geolocate, the
location of the user
should be the first
one to facilitate a
scalable geolocation
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONHTTPS://SUPPORT.GOOGLE.COM/WEBMASTERS/ANSWER/182192?HL=EN&REF_TOPIC=2370587
Take also into
consideration
that Google
doesn’t support
“regions” that
are not countries
to geotarget
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
People across Europe won’t all search in just a single
language that can serve to rank for them all
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
Even if the content is different, like in the case of
Politico, it would be difficult to geolocate each
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON

outranking the
.eu one in
Europe and
the .eu domain
also ranks in
the USA

#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON

#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONGOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE, SEMRUSH, SISTRIX, AHREFS
Check if you’re
suffering from

problems already
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONSEOMINION
Use VPNs or the free seominion extension 

to search from any location and language
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONHTTPS://SUPPORT.GOOGLE.COM/WEBMASTERS/ANSWER/182192?HL=EN&REF_TOPIC=2370587
Verify which domain
extensions are
treated as generic
by Google to
geolocate if needed
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONGOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE
Register & geolocate in search console each 

sub-directory/domain to country target
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONLINK REDIRECT TRACE

on the IP
location
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONHTTPS://SUPPORT.GOOGLE.COM/WEBMASTERS/ANSWER/182192?HL=EN&REF_TOPIC=2370587
Redirects can give
a bad user
experience and
end-up damaging
your web versions
crawlability
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
It can also end up showing the wrong titles or 

meta descriptions in search results pages
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCON
It's
recommended
to suggest the
relevant
international 

Web version
instead
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONHTTP://BIT.LY/BINGLANG
Indicate each page international targeting 

with their meta & html lang tag
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONHTTPS://SUPPORT.GOOGLE.COM/WEBMASTERS/ANSWER/189077?HL=EN

Every page should include its language & country
targeting, and point to its other versions
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONHTTPS://SUPPORT.GOOGLE.COM/WEBMASTERS/ANSWER/189077?HL=EN
You can also optionally use the x-default value for
unmatched international versions
#INTERNATIONALSEO BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #PUBCONHTTPS://SUPPORT.GOOGLE.COM/WEBMASTERS/ANSWER/189077?HL=EN
Use ISO 639-1
values for

for countries in
