International SEO
Go global, think local. Let us help you master international SEO to maximise your business’ impact.
Helping Australian businesses position their company in front of international audiences is one of your specialties. Our strategic approach is guided by our most senior members of our SEO team.
Why?
Conducting a high-quality international SEO campaign is not an overnight endeavour – it requires a complex, technical strategy with a delicate balance.
But we can assure you when executed well, the results pay off. Our advanced approach is designed to create long-term growth, moving beyond ‘quick wins’ to establish a substantial global footprint.
We work diligently to ensure you increase your global visibility, without sacrificing your existing local presence.
Outpace global competition
International SEO requires precision and expertise. We can tailor our approach to your business’s global expansion needs, no matter where you call home – or are based out of. This means every strategy is perfectly aligned with market-specific requirements.
Market analysis
At the core of any international SEO campaign is research. We dive deep into your industry, assessing international competitors and identifying important keyword opportunities - along with their local search volumes. This foundational analysis is critical for understanding each region's competitive landscape.
Local search insights
Understanding local search engines and user behaviour is vital. We adapt strategies to align with regional preferences—whether that means optimising for a dominant local search engine or thoughtfully adjusting keywords to match local search patterns.
Content localisation
Our strategy for localising content involves detailed planning to resonate with regional tastes and preferences. Decisions on whether to use a country-specific domain, subdomain, or subdirectory are informed by comprehensive research - as well as the structural considerations of your current website.
Technical setup
We implement best-practice technical SEO strategies for international markets, such as employing precise hreflang tags, optimised sitemaps, and canonical tags. These elements are crucial for conveying the right signals to search engines, ultimately boosting your international rankings.
Link building
We formulate a region-specific link-building strategy, leveraging local opportunities to enhance your website's authority and relevance in your selected targeted markets.

What our happy SEO clients have to say
SoundBay Pty Ltd has utilised the services of nimbl since 2015 and their advice has helped us achieve a threefold increase in our online revenue across our two websites storedj.com.au and mannys.com.au. Since they delivered on the work they did for us in July 2018, we have seen a 180% increase in Organic Search traffic to mannys.com.au. nimbl were able to provide us with a fee for service payment model rather than put us on a retainer, and they provided clear instructions for our internal web developer to implement the recommended changes.
JEREMY
SoundBay Pty Ltd
A high quality, professional digital marketing agency who provides us with both SEO and SEM support. They constantly look at ways to improve our organic and paid campaigns, and their monthly reports are detailed, yet can easily be interpreted by the non-savvy members within our business. Great value for money.

MELISSA
Allam Property Group
When we first contacted nimbl, we had a Google penalty which we weren’t even aware of! With nimbl’s help we were able to remove our penalty and restore what rankings we previously had, and gain new ones in the process.
We used to average 3-4 leads a month, now we’re at 35-40 – which is a considerable improvement and exceeded our business targets!

You might be wondering
What is international SEO?
International SEO is all about optimising your website so search engines like Google can understand which countries and languages your business targets. It’s the best way of showcasing your products or services to a global audience.
Will I need to change my content to rank internationally?
Adapting your content to local markets, search behaviours, and trends is typically necessary. You might not need a complete overhaul for English-dominant regions, but for targeting non-English speaking markets, we recommend professional human translation over automatic tools to ensure precision and cultural accuracy.
How quickly will I see results overseas?
International SEO undeniably takes time, often starting from scratch as we set up country-specific or regional sub-domains, which Google typically views as ‘new’ sites. The speed of results also hinges on how much you’re ready to invest in content and web development. With full commitment, though, the long-term gains can be truly impressive.
What's a HREFLANG tag?
A hreflang tag is crucial for any international SEO strategy. It informs Google about the language and geographical focus of your content, ensuring the correct version of your page is shown in relevant regional search engines. This is especially important when you have multiple versions of the same page in different languages.
