INSIGHT

Non‑English SEO Is Easier

  • Ranking in non-English markets is often easier because competition is less savvy and there are more gaps.
  • In e-commerce you must target top‑3 results or traffic is negligible due to ads and shopping features.
ADVICE

Translate Only High‑Impact Pages

  • Treat multilingual SEO like regular SEO but focus on high‑ROI pages and translations selectively.
  • Use the Pareto principle: translate and optimize the pages that will drive 80% of results.
ADVICE

Use Hreflang When Pages Are Translated

  • Use hreflang when you have the same page in multiple languages to tell Google which URL is the translation.
  • Hreflang isn't mandatory for single‑language sites and many sites rank fine without it.
