SEO translation agency for content that ranks abroad
Keyword research in the target language, localised metadata and translated content written to rank, not just to read well.
An SEO translation agency translates web content around the keywords people actually search in the target language, rather than literal equivalents of your English terms. The work combines native translation with local keyword research and metadata optimisation. Orion Translations provides SEO translation in more than 25 languages from Barcelona, since 2009.
Translated content is invisible until it matches local search
A perfectly translated page can rank for nothing. Search volume lives in the phrases local users actually type, and those rarely match the literal translation of your English keywords: the intent, the wording and even the questions differ market by market.
Orion Translations starts every SEO translation project with keyword research in the target language, performed by a native linguist who reads local search results the way your customers do. Only then is the content translated, written around the terms with real volume and intent, with titles, meta descriptions and headings localised to match.
What is the difference between translation and SEO translation?
| Standard translation | SEO translation | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | The source text | Keyword research in the target market |
| Keywords | Translated literally, if at all | Localised from real local search data |
| Metadata | Often left untouched | Titles, descriptions and slugs written per market |
| Structure | Mirrors the original | Headings adapted to local search questions |
| Measure of success | Reads naturally | Ranks, gets cited by AI engines, converts |
How much does SEO translation cost?
SEO translation is priced per word plus a one-off keyword research component per market, which is then reused across all pages in that language. Expect a premium over standard translation rates, repaid by traffic literal translation cannot reach.

How long does an SEO translation project take?
Keyword research per market takes 2-3 business days; translation then proceeds at normal professional pace, typically one to two weeks for a corporate site section per language, with markets running in parallel. Re-optimisation of already translated pages is faster, since only keywords, metadata and headings change.

Frequently Asked Questions
- SEO translation is the translation of web content optimised for what people actually search in the target language. Instead of translating your keywords literally, an SEO translator researches the terms local users type into Google and writes the translated page around them, including titles, meta descriptions and headings. The result ranks; a literal translation often does not.
- Because search behaviour does not translate. The literal Spanish equivalent of an English keyword frequently has a fraction of the search volume of the phrase Spaniards really use, and sometimes a different intent entirely. Keyword localisation starts from local search data, not from the English seed list, which is why Orion Translations researches every market before translating a single page.
- Keyword research in the target language, translation of body content written around those keywords, localised page titles and meta descriptions, translated URL slug recommendations, heading structure adapted to local search questions, and internal linking guidance. Technical items such as hreflang implementation are delivered as specifications your developers can apply directly.
- SEO translation is priced per word plus a research component per market, since keyword research is done once per language and reused across pages. It costs more per word than standard translation and pays for itself in organic traffic the standard translation would never capture. Orion Translations quotes a fixed price per language within one business day.
- Yes. Auditing and re-optimising existing translations is one of the most common projects we handle: the content is linguistically fine but invisible in local search because it targets translated keywords no one uses. We re-research the market, adjust keywords, titles and headings, and leave the rest of the copy intact where it works.
- Yes. Answer engines and AI Overviews increasingly mediate search, and they favour content with direct answers, structured data and clear entity naming in the target language. Orion Translations writes localised content with answer-first structure and schema so it can be cited by AI engines, not just ranked by classic search.
