Ask HN: Multi-Language Site and SEO

2 points by parisianka 5y ago

Hello, can you tell me please, does adding more languages to the website affect my Seo in the USA search results (English)? What to choose: sub-directories or sub-domains, ex. fr.example.com VS example.com/fr ? Thank you.

It should not affect rankings. Technically, traffic should improve by having multiple locales. With our sites at (https://pinkpigeon.co.uk https://pinkpigeon.co.uk), we use sub-directories, such as example.com/fr. This guy has some good info (but is a bit spammy with the hard sell): https://neilpatel.com/blog/international-seo/ https://neilpatel.com/blog/international-seo/ And here is some more info I have found useful in the past: https://translatepress.com/seo-multiple-languages/ https://translatepress.com/seo-multiple-languages/
