In today's globalized market, reaching customers across borders isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. But simply translating your content isn’t enough. To succeed internationally, you need to speak your customer’s language and understand how they search online. That’s where keywords in multilingual content marketing come into play.
When users search online, they use keywords that reflect their language, culture, and behavior. If your content isn’t optimized for those keywords, you’re invisible to a huge segment of your potential audience.
Let’s say you have a high-performing blog post in English optimized for “eco-friendly cleaning products.” When translating that content for Brazil, translating the phrase literally to “produtos de limpeza ecológicos” may not be enough. Brazilian users might actually search for “produtos de limpeza sustentáveis” more often. This difference can make or break your SEO strategy.
Effective multilingual SEO starts with localized keyword research, not just direct translation. Here’s why:
Search intent varies: A user in Mexico may search “comprar zapatillas baratas,” while someone in Spain might use “zapatillas deportivas económicas.”
Cultural relevance matters: Certain phrases resonate more depending on the country’s cultural context.
Competitor strategies differ: Local competitors may be ranking for different terms altogether.
That’s why brands need to adapt their keyword strategies for each market, not just translate them.
Work with native-speaking SEO specialists: They understand the language and the local trends.
Use local SEO tools: Platforms like SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Ubersuggest allow keyword research in different languages and countries.
Don’t skip long-tail keywords: Phrases like “melhor tradutor juramentado em São Paulo” can drive highly qualified traffic.
Balance readability and optimization: Overusing keywords in translated content can sound unnatural and damage trust.
Literal translations often miss nuances and context. For example:
English: “Download our free whitepaper”
Literal Portuguese: “Baixe nosso whitepaper gratuito”
Better localized version: “Faça o download gratuito do nosso material exclusivo”
One sounds robotic. The other sounds natural and persuasive.
