The importance of search engine optimization to increase visibility is a pretty well-known fact these days. Most business start-ups are fully aware of the importance of an online presence and that improving website ranking through SEO increases traffic and hopefully increases sales. As an entrepreneur, you are probably aware also of the importance your content writer makes in not just writing high-quality, original texts, but in writing texts that contain relevant keywords that your potential customers and clients use for an internet search. It is all very well having great content but if it is not found by your target audience, it is not doing its job. For this reason, content writers should have current knowledge of SEO and search engine algorithms. But preferred search engines vary country to country, as do their algorithms. Any professional translating your website content should have up-to-date knowledge of the target audience’s preferred search engine. In China, for example, Baidu is a lead search engine and in Russia, Yandex is a lead search engine. Any professional involved in your website translation should have knowledge of other search engines. Moreover, some search engines filter words that you may consider neutral.

Furthermore, you can’t just assume that a keyword in English will be a keyword when translated into another language. Again, any professional involved in the translation of your website content should be knowledgeable about keywords used in the target language and target country for the relevant internet search, otherwise your content may not be visible.
