Seo for international sites

[lauramrobinson32]

Hello,

I have a question for the group, our main US site-  http://www.datacard.com is utilized to move content to other regional sites like http://www.datacard.co.uk/ and http://www.datacard.fr/ and http://www.datacard.com.br/.  Anyhow, we essentially have some regional content on those sites, but for ease of maintaining and updating the content we have a company translate this for us and then undergo an in country review for local people in our company to review the content. That being said the meta descriptions, titles, code, everything gets translated to that language. I know there are issue for SEO for these purposes as we get much better rankings with http://www.datacard.com.  The regional sites are newer so this could be part of it.

We don't have an agency helping us with SEo and i get a lot of questions on what can be done internally for this for regional sites with our current structure.

Any tips you have? It would be greatly appreciated!

Laura

Hi there

I recommend you run through the following:
International SEO (Moz)
The International SEO Checklist (Moz)

I also recommend reading up on Google's International resources - ALL of this will help you get started from a Google standpoint.

Bing also has ways to geo-target your website and target languages.

All of the above will help you immensely, I recommend reading all of it!

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Patrick has answered your question.  Are you specifically asking how to verify the clickability of the translation of the title and meta descriptions and confirm they are also optimized for SEO?
