Multilingual marketing

Campaigns built around how each market searches

Paid search, paid social and SEO in more than 15 languages, planned from in-language research and written by native speakers. Every market is reported separately, so you can see which ones earn their budget.

  • Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta and LinkedIn
  • In-language keyword and competitor research
  • Native-speaker ad copy and landing pages
  • Cost per lead and ROAS reported by market

Why translated campaigns underperform

A translated campaign carries English assumptions into a market that does not share them. The search terms are different, the competitive set is different, and what counts as a persuasive advert is different. Keyword volume rarely maps across; in several markets the highest-intent term has no direct English equivalent at all.

We start with research in the language, then build the account structure around what people actually type. Where a market has thin demand, we say so rather than spend twelve months proving it.

What we deliver

In-language keyword research

Search terms, volumes, intent and competitor positioning researched natively, then mapped to the pages that can convert them.

Paid search by market

Separate campaign structures per language and country, with local negatives, bidding and budget control rather than one pooled account.

Paid social

Meta and LinkedIn creative and copy adapted per market, tested against local audiences rather than reused from the UK.

International SEO

Hreflang, site structure, in-language content and local link acquisition so the right page ranks in the right country.

Localised landing pages

Pages written for the market, with the proof points, payment terms and contact expectations local buyers look for.

Reporting per market

Conversions, lead quality, cost per acquisition and revenue split by country so budget decisions are straightforward.

How we run international accounts

  1. 1

    Research before spend

    Demand, competition and terminology in each target market, with an honest view on which ones are worth funding first.

  2. 2

    Build separately, manage centrally

    Each market gets its own structure and copy; one team holds strategy, budget and reporting across all of them.

  3. 3

    Test small, scale what works

    Contained budgets prove demand before a market gets a full content and site investment.

  4. 4

    Review monthly against commercial targets

    Lead quality and revenue per market drive the next month's allocation, not impression share.

Outcomes we work towards

  • Lower wasted spend from properly localised negatives and targeting
  • Adverts that read as local, improving click-through and lead quality
  • Organic visibility in markets where paid alone is too expensive
  • Budget concentrated in the markets that convert
  • One reporting view across every language
  • A defensible case for or against entering a market

Frequently asked questions

Do you run the campaigns in the local language or in English?

In the local language. Adverts, keywords, negatives and landing pages are handled by native speakers, because a mistranslated negative keyword list wastes budget quietly for months.

Which platforms do you buy on outside the UK?

Google Ads and Microsoft Ads in most markets, plus Meta and LinkedIn for paid social. Where a market uses something else meaningfully, we will tell you before we recommend a budget.

How is budget split between markets?

By evidence. We report cost per lead or ROAS per market, and move spend towards the ones converting rather than holding an even split for the sake of it.

Can you audit campaigns another agency set up?

Yes. International accounts often carry duplicated keywords, wrong location targeting and translated ad copy that never performed. An audit usually finds savings before it finds growth.
