International SEO Proposal

Hi,
I need to create an international seo proposal and wondered what are the best bits of international SEO I should include?
I have been reading up on loads of blogs wondered if anyone had some great ideas
Much appreciated.

Hey Karl!
As Patric said you can find most information over here in Moz. Now the main question here is, do you need to do local SEO? I mean, is your potential client a software or a brand with locals? This can drastically change things for you.
Here you can find an example of an SEO proposal that may help you get started faster.
If you answer the previous questions I can give you a better hand on this.

Thank you Patrick, I will take a look at those links.

Hi there
There are a couple great resources from Moz that can help you immensely with international SEO:
Remember that international SEO foundationally is the same as domestic SEO, there's onsite and offsite elements that you'll always have to focus on, but now you have to take into consideration culture, language, partnerships, local listings/citations, and more. You need to review the above resources, see what is applicable to your client's goals and needs in particular countries they are focused on, and prioritize what needs to be done in order to have success.
Let me know if this helps! Good luck!
Patrick

International corporate SEO - menu and preferences
Hi all, for internationalization we have used subfolders structure (e.g. domain.com/us/) and since we have approx 150 countries to cover, then country selector is quite a link-base, especially if pages itself can have even several hundreds of internal links as well. Currently, all links to other countries are set as rel="nofollow" and I'm planning to change them to "follow" to distribute a juice. Do you please have an experience with such internal links voluminous websites and this follow/nofollow settings? Also we are having and issue with other countries outperforming local search. So for example in US, searching for kind of "Brand America" keyword, our UK branch outperforms US. Hreflangs are set in the sitemaps and each branch (country) is set in search console correctly as well. Since there are some issues with sitemaps (e.g. not actual links, or links returning 404), I assume that google is not using these sitemaps therefore hreflang information is lost as well. Am I correct ? thank you in advance, Tom

International website sharing with .com/.au/.uk
I have a small business in the United States and would like to copy our main website for my international partners. My website is a .com. I think that their domains will end in their country codes: .au and .uk. We are open to using different domains. We plan to share blog articles and other content, but do not wish to be penalized for duplication. I have tried to read articles on this topic, but am unfamiliar with a lot of the terms. Is there any way to do this simply? Many thanks, Steph

IP Address Geolocation SEO - Multiple A records, implications?
Hi, We operate an ecom site, with a .com TLD. The IP address of the hosting is based in France and indeed we seem to see quite a lot of traffic from France. How relevant is the A record of the domain for SEO? Is it still an important signal to help Google geolocate? And, if that is the case, is there a case for having multiple A records for the domain? Like an IP Address in France, an IP address in Italy, etc... that way the domain would have multiple A records... Thank you

Huge spike in referral traffic from international domains
We have recently experienced a huge spike in referral traffic from .fr domains (we are in the UK). They all lead to our 404 page. Its been going on for the last 3 days, and its still happening with about 20 visitors browsing the site from these domains at any one time, staying approx 3-7 seconds and then bouncing. The top domain appears to be a parked page. We cant see any obvious links or ads coming from any of these .fr domains and they are quite irrelevant to our sites industry anyway, which leads me to believe these may not be real visitors. Any advice on what may be causing this? And how to stop it? Needless to say none of these referrals have converted.

SEO rates in Brazil
This question is for SEOs working in Brazil (please feel perfectly free to reply in Portuguese). I am an independent Local Search consultant living and working in France and would like to get an approximate idea of the range of SEO rates charged in Brazil by independent SEOs. As is the case in any country, I'm sure that rates vary significantly in Brazil. My goal is simply to get an idea of that range. Thanks very much. Ken Fagan (www.kenfagan.com)

Russian SEO Specialist Needed
Hi All, Looking for a bit of help here. We are quoting for a big SEO project on a Russian website and need high quality Russian link builders to work on building the links to the website. As well as this, we need to have a little look at the on-page content (but that will be more of just straight translation stuff, nothing big). If you're a Russian link builder and could help me here then get in touch. I only want ethical, white-hat and relevant links being built to the website so if that's not what you do, please don't waste my time 🙂 Also, this should really go without saying but I'll mention it anyway... you MUST speak Russian! Look forward to hearing from you. Matt matt@wowinternet.net
