International SEO is the strategy of optimizing your website to rank in multiple countries and languages. It’s not just about translation, it’s about tailoring content, technical setups, and user experiences to resonate with diverse cultures. According to CSA research, 76% of consumers prefer content in their native language, ignoring International SEO means leaving money on the table.
Why it Matters?
More than 50% of the searches are not in English. Without International SEO, you might be missing out on a large amount of international traffic and revenue.
In Digital Raghu, we believe that international SEO is the key to unlocking global visibility and reaching to wide number of audiences. We work on optimizing your content for multiple countries, and languages. Our SEO experts have proven strategies for International SEO.
Our team works by finding out the targeted countries then we work on hreflang tags, URL structure optimization, and local keyword research.
For example: Outward Adventure Treks is a trekking and travel company targeting countries like U.S and Australia. We create localized page contents for them, implement hreflang tags, use subfolder structure such as /fr/, /de/ , /us/ , ensure that the pages are crawlable, indexed and fast loading.
Top Tools We Use for International SEO
- Google Search Console (Geo-targeting, hreflang testing)
- SEMrush & Ahrefs (for international keyword research)
- Screaming Frog (site structure & hreflang auditing)
- Google Analytics (traffic by region analysis)

For example:
Let me show you how we write content with all the tags we used in International SEO along with the head and the body tag:
International SEO head tags
<head>
<link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”en-us” href=”https://www.digitalraghu.com/us/” />
<link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”fr-fr” href=”https://www.digitalraghu.com/fr/” />
<link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”de-de” href=”https://www.digitalraghu.com/de/” />
<title>Grow Globally with Digital Raghu – SEO Experts</title>
</head>
We use this tag because it informs the google search engines about the different language and regions the page is targeting.
International SEO body tags
<body>
<h1>Outward Adventure Treks – Trekking in Nepal</h1>
<p>Serving trekkers from the US, France, and Germany with localized experiences.</p>
<h2>Popular Treks</h2>
<ul>
<li>Everest Base Camp – For US Visitors</li>
<li>Annapurna Circuit – Guides available in French</li>
<li>Langtang Valley – German-language support</li>
</ul>
</body>
This content mentions countries like US, France, Germany which helps in location relevance. International SEO body tags also helps in targeting specific regions which helps improves visibility and ranking.
