Frequently asked questions
Can you work with a business in Milan, Italy from India?
Yes. Work is delivered remotely with calls scheduled for Italy working hours, shared dashboards and written monthly reports. Many SEO and AI search tasks need no physical presence.
Do you understand the Italy market?
Each market engagement starts with research into local search behaviour, languages and competitors. For native-language content, I work with native reviewers so copy sounds local rather than translated.
Do I need local search engines?
Only in specific markets: Baidu for China, Naver for South Korea, Yandex for Russian-speaking markets. Elsewhere Google dominates.
What is hreflang?
An annotation that tells search engines which language and country each page targets, so the right version shows to the right user.
Is machine translation enough?
Rarely for important pages. It is a useful first draft, but native review is needed for accuracy, tone and local search terms.
Can you work across time zones?
Yes. I work remotely from India with overlap for European, Middle Eastern and Asian working hours and scheduled calls for the Americas.
Should I use a separate domain for each country?
It depends on budget, brand and team. Subfolders are usually the efficient default; ccTLDs suit businesses with strong local operations.
