8 Tips For German Search Engine Optimization
- Language Identification
Identify the language with the Meta tag "DE". If you have a local address, add it to the meta description. - Domain Extension
Use the domain extension of the targeted country. For Germany: .de, Switzerland: .ch, Austria: .at. - Content
Provide content using the native language. Hire native speakers for the German translation. - Local Address
Include addresses within the country. Have a local branch or representative. It's an advantage in many ways. - Incoming Links
Increase inbound links from the sites of the same country. Develop a smart link building strategy. - German ≠ German
Germany, Austria and Switzerland have different flavors of German. Know the local lingo. - Web Hosting
Host the site in the country, if possible. Search engines identify your site based on IP address. - Keyword Research
Get your keyword suggestions and counts from the right keyword tools. For example Keyword Discovery for Germany.
It is time to prepare your online business for the search engines "auf Deutsch" with the help of an expert.
