Multilingual keyword research and SEO
With regard to SEO (search-machine optimization), it’s not enough just to have good quality text (translated or otherwise), an attractive layout, fast response times and a user-friendly website. Keyword research is essential if you want to maximize the ease of finding a multilingual website. That’s why an experienced copywriter will ask for the relevant keywords before starting work on any text for a website or advertisement (AdWords).
For the sake of clarity; keywords are those words that users enter into a search engine when they’re looking for (the supplier of) a particular service or product. Other terms used are search words, search phrases or search terms (long-tail keywords).
Google then screens and indexes the pages according to the keywords and indexes them in line with the position in their rankings. Put simply, these are the words that appear in Google’s results when you launch a search using these keywords. The higher the website’s position in Google, the more people there are who visit it. If Google fails to find the keywords, the user won’t be able to find them either. Keyword research is also important when it comes to qualitatively effective translations and the transcreation of text for websites.
You could compile your own list of keywords and search terms, but it eats up time. Very often you’ll save time and, likewise, money when you outsource this task to a specialist.
