Local and international SEO

Content localization

Also known as: localization

Adapting language, examples, units, and context to an audience in a particular market.

A practical example

An offer uses local currency and appropriate delivery terms.

What should I know?

Localization is more than a literal word-for-word translation.

Local and international SEO in practice

Provide real contact details, availability, and service terms for each location or market. Regional versions should match actual offerings. Copying content with another city or language does not meet the audience's needs.
