Frequently asked questions about international SEO
What does international SEO cost?
You will find the starting price in the pricing section on this page and on the pricing page. Every engagement starts with a free initial call, and you can work with us in English.
What is hreflang and why does it matter?
Hreflang is an HTML attribute that tells Google which language and country version of a page is meant for which users. Without correct hreflang tags you risk duplicate content, the wrong language versions in search results and lost ranking potential.
ccTLD, subdomain or subfolder: which is better?
Each structure has pros and cons. ccTLDs (.ch, .de, .at) send strong geo signals but need their own domain authority. Subfolders (/de/, /fr/) pool link equity. Subdomains are a middle ground. We recommend a structure based on your budget, your goals and the strength of your existing domain. If several brands are to be brought together under one roof, we first clarify the brand architecture.
What are the challenges of SEO in Switzerland with four languages?
Switzerland is a unique market: 4 national languages (DE, FR, IT, RM), regional search habits, Swiss German vs. standard German, and close ties to Germany, France and Italy. Without a clean language architecture and hreflang tags, Swiss content often gets mixed up with that of neighboring countries.
How long until I am visible internationally?
The technical implementation (hreflang, site structure) takes 4–8 weeks. First rankings in new markets typically show after 3–6 months, depending on competition and your existing domain authority. Content localization is an ongoing process.
Is it enough to simply translate content?
No. Plain translation is not enough. Every market has its own search habits, keywords and cultural nuances. In German, “Handy” means mobile phone; in English, “handy” means practical. We localize content: market-specific keyword research, cultural adaptation and local search intent.
