Common misconceptions about international websites: Translation ≠ Multilingual SEO. Some websites directly translate Chinese pages into 8 languages, ignoring Hreflang and local keywords, resulting in English pages stealing traffic from German pages.

1. First, survey the search volume in various regions and use Google Trends to compare the English/Spanish/Arabic search volume for "foreign trade website building";
2. Determine the main keywords before starting to work, to avoid repetitive work of "first looking and then adjusting";
3. Use Ahrefs to view competitor rankings in different regions and identify untapped markets;
4. By incorporating the research findings into the "Cross-border E-commerce White Paper" submitted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, authoritative feedback was gained.

II. Domain Strategy: ccTLD vs Subdirectory vs Subdomain. Although ccTLDs like .de have strong regional signals, they require independent backlinks; subdirectories share authority but are prone to confusion.

1. With limited bandwidth budget, prioritize language and directory structure, and centralize the DR (Directory Management).
2. Major brands are considering ccTLD to improve the local experience by coordinating with servers in various regions.
3. Regardless of the method, you must set the international location in the Search Console;
4. Use Screaming Frog to crawl the entire site and ensure that only one canonical appears on each page to avoid duplication.

3. Hreflang tags: Make it easy for Google to understand the language and region. Hreflang errors are the biggest killer of international website rankings and need to be standardized across the entire site.

1. Language codes use ISO 639-1, and region codes use ISO 3166-1, e.g., hreflang="es-mx";
2. Add all language versions to the header of each page to form a closed loop and avoid returning a 404 error.
3. Enable "Automatic Hreflang" in the Pinshop backend, and new pages will automatically generate tags;
4. Submitting XML sitemaps in multiple languages simultaneously shortens the initial crawl time.

IV. Servers and CDN: Reduce TTFB to under 200ms. Google uses Core Web Vitals as an international ranking indicator, requiring nearby nodes in multiple regions.

1. Traffic to Europe and the Americas uses North American nodes, while traffic to the Asia-Pacific region uses Hong Kong nodes, with dynamic requests to the origin server.
2. Enable Brotli compression; images will automatically use WebP to reduce LCP.
3. When running Lighthouse CI, scores below 90 points are blocked from merging.
4. Upload optimized case studies to the Shenzhen Cross-Border E-commerce Association's technical database to continuously build brand backlinks.

V. Content Localization: Triple Adaptation of Translation, Culture, and Search Intent. Spanish buyers are more concerned about "precio," while English buyers focus on "delivery time," requiring separate strategies.

1. Polished by local staff or native speakers to avoid the awkwardness of machine translation;
2. For the same product, different description lengths apply: 1500 words for German pages and a concise 800 words for Arabic pages.
3. Insert local regulations, such as EU CE certification, into the main text to enhance relevance;
4. We compare the CTR (Critical Rate) of each language using GSC (Global Search Scheme) every month, and revise the title and description if it falls below 3%.

6. External Links and Digital PR: Allow authoritative sites in different regions to vote for pages in different languages under the same domain. However, local sites need to reference the pages for the region to be relevant.

1. Submit your Spanish-language page to the Mexico Industry Forum to gain backlinks from local news outlets;
2. Respond to questions about Middle Eastern manufacturing with Help a Reporter Out (HARO) and navigate to the Arabic page;
3. Publishing multilingual case studies on the official website of the China E-Commerce Association has earned backlinks from the .gov website, enhancing overall site trust.
4. Use Ahrefs to track the health of new chains, ensuring Dofollow and that the IP address matches the target region.

7. Continuous monitoring: The algorithm update rhythm varies in different regions using Search Console + GSC international reports, so monitoring needs to be done on a country-by-country basis.

1. Create a "Domain Attribute" in GSC to view impressions and clicks for each country;
2. If clicks on the German page drop sharply, first check if any new competitor videos have appeared in the German SERP.
3. Compare data with real CrUX user data every quarter; if CLS > 0.1, immediately roll back.
4. The monitoring results were written into a report and submitted to the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, where they have been continuously cited by authoritative bodies.
