International SEO: foundations before targeting multiple countries

International SEO starts with architecture, market selection and language quality before producing dozens of pages.

This guide reflects Raven Digitals’ current working approach. It is educational, not legal, tax or financial advice.

2. URL architecture

The useful question is not whether this item exists, but whether it is coherent with the market, the user journey and the rest of the system. Raven treats it as part of a connected digital experience rather than an isolated checkbox.

3. Hreflang

The useful question is not whether this item exists, but whether it is coherent with the market, the user journey and the rest of the system. Raven treats it as part of a connected digital experience rather than an isolated checkbox.

4. Local keyword research

The useful question is not whether this item exists, but whether it is coherent with the market, the user journey and the rest of the system. Raven treats it as part of a connected digital experience rather than an isolated checkbox.

5. Build authority progressively

The useful question is not whether this item exists, but whether it is coherent with the market, the user journey and the rest of the system. Raven treats it as part of a connected digital experience rather than an isolated checkbox.
