Google Translate and a language switcher aren't a strategy
Most international sites lose money in the gap between translation and localization: hreflang that never validates, machine-translated pages that rank for nothing, and five country versions competing against each other. Here's where a multilingual SEO expert actually moves the needle.
hreflang Implementation
Return-tag errors, missing x-default, wrong region codes, and conflicting canonicals that stop Google serving the right page to the right country.
International Site Structure
ccTLD vs subfolder vs subdomain, decided on your actual budget, authority, and market list, not on a blog post from 2019.
Multilingual Keyword Research
Native-language research per market. Germans don't search a translated English phrase, and Mexican Spanish isn't Spanish from Spain.
Content Localization
Currency, sizing, tone, legal copy, and search intent adapted per market, so pages convert instead of reading like a translation.
Geotargeting & Duplicate Content
Search Console targeting, IP redirects that block crawlers, and near-identical en-US / en-GB / en-AU pages cannibalizing each other.
Local Authority Building
In-market links, local citations, and native digital PR, because a .de page ranks on German signals, not on your English backlink profile.
End-to-End Multilingual SEO Services
Work with a multilingual SEO consultant who doesn't just hand you a translation invoice. I pick the markets, build the structure, brief the native writers, and own the rollout, or I plug into your existing team where you need the lift.
I find out which of your markets are quietly broken.
A full audit of every language version: hreflang validation, indexation per locale, geotargeting, duplicate content across regions, and how each market performs against its local competitors. You leave with a prioritized roadmap, not a 200-page PDF nobody opens.
Enter the markets worth entering, in that order.
Demand sizing, competition, and margin per country before you spend a cent on translation. Then native-language keyword research per market, because a translated keyword list is not a keyword list.
The right page, served to the right country, every time.
Domain strategy decided on evidence, then hreflang built and validated at scale: return tags, x-default, canonical alignment, XML sitemap annotations, and geotargeting that doesn't fight your canonicals.
Localization that converts, not translation that reads like translation.
Native writer briefs built from local search intent, transcreated titles and metadata, localized currency, sizing, and legal copy, plus localized schema. Machine translation gets you indexed. Localization gets you paid.
Authority earned in the language you're trying to rank in.
Your English backlink profile does very little for your .de pages. I run outreach and digital PR in-market, in the local language, to publications your buyers actually read. No PBNs, no link farms.

Read full case study →Languages and regions I've shipped
Every market has its own search engine share, query behaviour, and content expectations. These are the regions I work in most, always with native writers on the content side.
Western Europe
German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch. High competition, strict compliance copy, and buyers who spot a translation instantly.
Nordics
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish. Low search volume, high intent, and English cannibalization that eats local pages.
LATAM & Iberia
Mexican, Argentine and Castilian Spanish plus Brazilian Portuguese. Regional variants that must not share one page.
MENA & RTL
Arabic and Hebrew, where right-to-left layout, dialect choice, and font rendering break templates built for English.
APAC
Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. Different engines, different SERP layouts, and character-level keyword research.
Bilingual North America
Canadian French and US Spanish. The cheapest international win most brands already have and never build for.
My Multilingual SEO Process
Four steps. Predictable cadence. You always know which market ships this month, what's next, and how it ladders up to revenue.
Audit & Market Discovery
I audit every language version you already run: hreflang validity, index coverage per locale, geotargeting, and duplicate content between regions. Then I size the markets you haven't entered yet by demand, competition, and margin. You walk out of week one knowing which markets are leaking money and which are worth opening next.
Structure & Roadmap
The domain decision gets made on evidence: ccTLD, subfolder, or subdomain. Then a rollout order by market value, native keyword research for the first launch languages, a localization brief for writers, and a 12-month plan tied to revenue targets. A clear sequence, not a 200-tactic dump nobody can act on.
Rollout & Localization
Market by market, not all at once. hreflang gets deployed and validated, native writers localize the priority pages, schema and internal links get built per locale, and in-market outreach starts. Each week, a short update on what shipped and what's next. No fluff, no reports designed to justify a retainer.
Per-Market Tracking & Expansion
Every market gets its own scorecard: organic sessions, revenue, conversion rate, index coverage, and AI-search citations by language. Monthly we review which markets are compounding, invest more there, and stop funding the ones that aren't. The strategy stays alive, not stuck in a PDF from quarter one.
Client's Feedback
Real feedback from the founders, marketing leads, and international managers I've worked with. These are the results they saw and what working together actually looks like.
We launched in Germany and France expecting a slow ramp. Both markets passed our UK revenue inside two quarters.
He navigates Google's updates without drama. Our organic grew, our site got faster, and the reporting was honest the whole way through. Highly recommended.
Our hreflang had been broken for two years and three agencies never caught it. Abdullah found it in the first week.

He pushed back on two markets we wanted to open and was right about both. That advice alone paid for the engagement.

Three months in and our Spanish pages rank in Mexico and Spain separately, instead of fighting each other like before.
The localization briefs meant our native writers finally knew what to write. Output quality jumped immediately.
We had twelve language versions and no idea which ones made money. Now every market has its own scorecard.
Our Japanese and Korean pages were invisible for years. Native keyword research changed that within a quarter.
Working with Abdullah transformed how we think about international SEO. Results came faster than expected and the process was transparent throughout.
