Winter has arrived. by Ursula Via Flickr: Winter came to Sweden with lots of snow and -15 degrees. The deer are looking for food among the houses and the magpies as we have quite a few here trying to steal food from smaller birds and deer that we post. Life is not easy for them when the winter is cold and snowy.

Harnessing SEO for Multilingual Markets: Strategies and Tools - Technology Org

Have you ever thought about how to connect with more people from different places? The solution is multilingual SEO – and it’s easier than you think.

By optimizing your website for specific languages and locations, you’ll open up a world of possibilities to engage with customers everywhere.

Using multilingual SEO strategies, you can discover delightful opportunities to share your message with all sorts of interesting people. Whether they speak English or other languages, tailoring your online presence just a bit opens doors for connecting globally.

Want to get started with multilingual SEO? This guide is for you! We’ll cover killer multilingual strategies to adopt to reach an international audience.

Understanding Multilingual SEO

Have you ever noticed some websites appearing at the top of search results no matter what language you use? That’s no accident – it’s the power of multilingual SEO at work!

By optimizing your content for different languages and cultures, you open yourself up to a whole world of a new global audience. Speaking to people in their “mother tongue” literally puts you steps ahead of monolingual competitors.

Why limit your audience when, with some strategic translation, your message can reach Spanish, French, Mandarin speakers, and more? Multilingual SEO removes barriers so you can share your offerings with a truly worldwide audience.

Crafting a Multilingual SEO Strategy

Now that you understand multilingual SEO, it’s time to get into action. Here are some strategies you can use to implement a winning multilingual SEO strategy.

1. Perform Keyword Research and Personalization

To really connect with multilingual audiences, businesses need to perform customized keyword research for each global location. It’s about more than translation; it’s understanding what people search for and cultural styles.

For example, a store selling hiking gear may find “hiking boots” works well in English, but Spanish speakers prefer “botas de senderismo.”

Once you find the right keyword terms and phrases, make content just for that crowd. Give them website text, blog posts, product info, and tags in their native language.

2. Implement hreflang Tags

Hreflang tags are your passport to multilingual search success!

By using these handy HTML attributes, you can specify the language and location for each page on your site. When set up right, search engines will show each user the perfect version based on where they are and what they speak.

For example, if someone in France searches for “best trekking shoes,” hreflang tags can ensure they see your beautiful French content.

A searcher in Spain? No problem – the tags will send them straight to your fantastic Spanish pages instead! On top of that, structure your site for multilingual SEO success. Dedicate individual subfolders or subdomains to each language to really optimize everything. 

3. Build Localized Backlinks and Partnerships

Backlinks are still one of the best ways to climb the rankings in SEO, and that definitely applies when targeting multiple languages, too.

The key is putting in the work to make useful connections all over the place in each area you want to reach. Guest posting, teaming up with community leaders, and getting involved in industry happenings are great places to start spreading the word.

Think about it – sites with backlinks in more than one language tend to pop up higher in search results more often. And that leads to more free traffic and exposure.

4. Monitor Performance 

SEO is a constantly evolving journey, so it’s crucial to keep an eye on key metrics across languages and locations on a regular basis. By reviewing data on keyword placements, site visits, and user involvement, companies can uncover opportunities to get even better.

Research shows that websites that make analyzing their SEO results a habit are 2.5x more likely to rise up the search results and see more natural traffic than those that don’t, showing how facts-focused fine-tuning pays off. Staying aware helps you stay ahead!

5. Use the Right Multilingual Tools

Expanding your website’s reach through multilingual optimization is key to success in today’s global marketplace. The right tools can supercharge your search performance and connect your brand with valuable new audiences worldwide.

Powerful tools like Rank Tracker, Ahrefs, and Google Keyword Planner deliver the insights you need to discover trending search terms in any language or locale. With comprehensive keyword data, you can craft localized content that will resonate with international readers.

A comprehensive rank tracker, like the one from Octoboard can help you rank competitors’ website positions, automate SEO reporting, and build portals for your clients.

Wrapping Up

Expanding your digital footprint across languages requires a savvy strategy for SEO that considers each audience’s distinct language and culture.

Companies can authentically reach diverse groups and push progress through keyword research, optimizing sites for locals, cultivating localized backlinks, and using multilingual tools.

With the perfect plans and resources, businesses can uncover untapped prospects and relate to people planet-wide. Global opportunities are within reach when you meet markets where they are – get out there and connect with the world!

Social Housing

This is how it works in the political system. Whenever money has been spent on things like social housing and Indigenous affairs in the past it follows this route. Bean counters and social conservatives fight against the allocation of funding in the first place. Eventually, when it does get over the line it is trimmed to the bone, which means it is accompanied by self-sabotaging elements. For example social housing estates in the past were built on cheap land on the fringes of cities in new suburbs not served with the necessary infrastructure like adequate public transport. In addition, these projects were not backed up by the support required to service them. The outcomes were poorly maintained eyesores and nests for social disadvantage to flourish in. The message to the broader community is you don’t want to live anywhere close to social housing because it lowers the value of your property and exposes your family to crime and social problems. “Political will and investment, or lack thereof, has been a big one, Dr Fotheringham says. He says the main reason Australia has a shortage of social and affordable housing is chronic underinvestment by governments of all levels and political persuasion over decades. Social and affordable housing is also not a very good "vote winner", says Hal Pawson, professor of housing research and policy at UNSW Sydney. “ - (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-28/where-is-the-social-and-affordable-housing/103380050)

Australia & Social Housing

Australia has a rich history of not properly funding programmes. The litany of failures in welfare spending on Aboriginal Affairs is legion. Housing programmes have been generally badly built in the first place and once again not backed up by any support to maintain them. Scumbags, white scumbags have a rich history of gaining these tenders and serving up second rate product at exorbitant rates. Then, down the track everyone can blame the Indigenous residents for not looking after them and this reinforces the already ingrained racist beliefs within the wider community. Housing built without any consultation with those who would be living in them. This is still being done for the disability community. There is this attitude of ‘beggars can’t be choosers and we know best.’

Photo by World Sikh Organization of Canada on Pexels.com Poorly Funded Programmes For Those In Need Half arsed should be the motto for government initiatives in this country. First there is the responsibility handball between federal and state governments to contend with. This strips any energy of a united front from the project to begin with. Everything is a shit fight over money. Then, once the arduous planning stage concludes it loses coherence the further down the realisation pathway it travels. Shortcuts and cost savings are enacted constantly. Shoddy workmanship and second rate materials are no strangers to these programmes. Most seriously, however, is the complete lack of supporting infrastructure for these projects. No one has sat down and thought through how these things will operate once set up. Or if they have they haven’t been listened to. Half arsed housing could be the name for the government entity responsible for such programmes. Things falling off the structures are not fixed for months and sometimes years. The message is that second rate citizens live here and they don’t deserve such service. In the past, state housing commission estates have been poorly serviced and maintained. The conservative wider community blames the residents and putting the boot into the poor continues. Downward envy could be an Olympic sport in Australia.

Photo by Mike Bird on Pexels.com Half Arsed Help The moral of the story is that these folk don’t deserve any special help. The neoliberal ‘user pays’ ethos has permeated our political classes and into the community more broadly. Generations of short changing Indigenous Australians via institutional racism is neither here nor there, according to this belief. Conservatives ardently believe that each individual is responsible for pulling himself or herself up by their bootstraps. Thus, the divide between rich and poor has grown in giant leaps and bounds over the last 30 years. Home ownership has driven a frontend loader between the haves and have nots. Recently, the CEO of the ANZ bank said that only the wealthy can afford to buy a home in Australia in the 21C. We have John Howard and the removal of the capital gains tax and negative gearing to thank for this state of affairs. “An acronym for 'not in my backyard', a NIMBY is someone who opposes developments in their local area. When it comes to social housing, it's often because they're worried that could impact the value of their own home. Professor Pawson says social housing, particularly public housing, has a lot of stigma attached to it. He says the way social housing had been handled in the past had "tainted the brand", and newer developments didn't have to look or be managed in the same fashion. "Most people in the industry would now agree it was a big mistake to build very large public housing estates especially on the edges of cities where there wasn't good access to jobs and services.” - (Evan Young, ABC News, 28 Jan 2024) Social housing has barely been built by state governments over the last 20 years. The mistakes of the past and the neoliberal mantra ‘let market forces take care of it’ have meant they turned away from their responsibilities. Now, we have a severe housing crisis with unaffordable rents in most capital cities due to a shortage of stock. Governments are having to spend around $1.4 billion per year on emergency housing for those in need. This has been exacerbated by things like short term holiday rentals proving more popular with landlords. The mismanagement of social housing historically by governments has played a fundamental role in where we find ourselves today. We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past with any new projects. These programmes demand ongoing funding levels to properly maintain them. We do not want to create future ghettoes and concentrations of disadvantage. This could be an opportunity for Australian governments to do a proper job, perhaps, for the first time, when it comes to social housing.

Photo by The Lazy Artist Gallery on Pexels.com Imagine if you had a well-built social housing estate and rather than just plonking new residents within it you had some useful stuff onsite. How about a centre with non-profit financial advice for residents to consult. How about a psychologist providing help for those struggling mentally with life’s challenges. There could be a suite of valuable services that those in need will use. Rather than leaving those doing it tough to sink or swim why not get in early and be proactive. It will save money in the long run by avoiding much of the law and order costs usually following these neglected places. Think about it!
