Show up where customersactually search.In every language they speak.

Most international SEO programs are an English playbook with a translation layer bolted on. Ours start from how people actually search in Tokyo, Seoul, São Paulo, Riyadh and Mumbai — and then build the technical, content, and authority architecture to win there.

Search engines are markets. Every market has its own rules.

Yahoo! Japan still owns nearly a third of Japanese search. Naver eats Korea. Baidu and Yandex run their own indexes with their own ranking signals. Even inside Google, what wins in the US loses in Germany, and what wins in Germany dies in India. We design SEO programs market-by-market — local search behavior, local engine, local intent, local content authority — and stitch them into one global organic engine that actually compounds.

"SEO is not a translation problem. It is a market-mechanics problem that happens to involve language."

Capabilities

What this engagement actually includes.

International SEO architecture

hreflang strategy that doesn't break in Search Console, geo-targeted subfolders or ccTLDs done right, canonical hygiene across markets, and an information architecture that lets each region rank without cannibalizing the next.

Local SEO for in-market discovery

Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, Yahoo Places in Japan, Naver Place in Korea, plus the local citations, review programs, and structured data that drive in-store and same-day demand.

Technical SEO & Core Web Vitals

Crawl, index, render, and performance audits run against real-device benchmarks. Schema layered for products, FAQs, articles, reviews and organizations. Site-speed work scoped against measurable revenue impact, not vanity Lighthouse scores.

E-E-A-T content programs

Topic clusters mapped to commercial intent. Writers and editors in-language with category credibility — not freelancers reverse-engineering keywords. Author bios, review bylines, and source trails that satisfy Google's quality raters and the Helpful Content System.

Digital PR & link authority

Earned coverage and link acquisition through legitimate journalism, data studies, and creator partnerships in each market. No PBNs, no link farms, no surprise penalties twelve months in.

Measurement & attribution

Server-side analytics, GA4 + GSC + log-file analysis stitched together, branded vs non-branded splits, organic incrementality testing. You see what SEO is actually contributing to revenue — not just sessions.

Case study · European brand expanding into JP / KR / BR

From an English-only blog to ranking #1 in three languages.

A European B2B SaaS company had a strong English organic presence but zero non-English traffic despite servicing Japan, Korea, and Brazil. We rebuilt their international architecture (subfolders + clean hreflang), produced category-credible content in three new languages with in-market editors, and ran a digital PR program targeting trade press in each region. Inside fourteen months they were the #1 organic result for their core category term in Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese — and non-English organic accounted for 38% of pipeline.

"Deebo treated Japanese SEO like Japanese SEO, not like English SEO with a Japanese coat of paint. That distinction is the entire reason it worked."

Why Deebo

Three reasons clients choose us for this.

01

We work the engines that actually matter locally.

Yahoo! Japan, Naver, Baidu and Yandex are not afterthoughts — they are the dominant index in their markets. We have native operators, not contractors, working each one.

02

Our content is written by category insiders.

Editors with real domain credibility in your category and in-language. The kind of authorship Google's Helpful Content System and human readers both reward.

03

We are honest about what SEO is — and what it isn't.

SEO is a 6-12 month compounding investment, not a quarterly performance lever. We tell you that on day one, scope to it, and report against it.

FAQ

Honest answers to honest questions.

How long until we see organic traffic move?

+
Technical fixes can lift indexing and CTR within 4-8 weeks. Meaningful ranking and traffic gains on commercial terms typically land between months 4 and 9, with the steepest curve in months 9-18 as content authority compounds. We give you a milestone-by-milestone forecast at the end of the audit phase.

Do you work on Yahoo! Japan, Naver, and Baidu — not just Google?

+
Yes. Yahoo! Japan still holds roughly 30% of Japanese search. Naver dominates Korea. Baidu owns mainland China. Each engine has its own indexing logic, schema support, and ranking signals — and a Tokyo or Seoul launch that ignores them is leaving most of the market on the table.

Can you work with our existing in-house content team?

+
Almost always preferred. We supply the technical foundation, market-by-market briefs, and editorial QA in-language. Your team owns voice, product knowledge, and the publishing rhythm. We integrate cleanly with WordPress, Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok, Webflow, Shopify, and headless setups.

How do you price an SEO engagement?

+
Audits are fixed-fee. Ongoing programs are scoped against the markets, content cadence, and engineering surface area — usually a base monthly retainer plus a content-production line. We share investment ranges in the first conversation and never charge for keyword-stuffed deliverables that don't move revenue.
