Depending on the level of awareness present, you may need to start with blog articles and evergreen content that addresses the questions your target audience is searching for.

What performs well in one country doesn’t always do well in another, so adapting content to meet the needs of different markets is key to ensure your pages match the right search intent. It’s important to make sure that you have a good understanding of the kind of content which is already ranking well for your target keywords in different markets. Optimisation in the target language is then crucial to give search engines the best chance of correctly matching your content to the most appropriate keywords, which you should target based on localised search volumes and search intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"informational-content-strategy\">Informational content strategy\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As with your commercial keywords, search volumes and intent can differ wildly between markets. Whilst many of your customers’ questions and concerns may be similar regardless of which country they are in, the ways in which they search for information can significantly affect the performance of your longer-tail content. We strongly recommend doing informational keyword research using your translated commercial keywords as a base, which will allow you to get a comprehensive overview of the kind of content that your target audience is looking for, and how they are looking for it. You can then craft keyword-targeted content to meet this demand, and scale up your brand awareness in new markets to become a go-to source of information in your industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"measuring-international-seo-performance\">\u003Cstrong>Measuring international SEO performance\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Once you’ve gone to all the trouble of researching, implementing, and launching your international SEO strategy, the last piece of the puzzle is to ensure you have a robust tracking setup in place.
