Marketers in U.S. companies often underestimate the presence and buying power of Spanish speakers in local markets. <\/span>According to Google, over <\/span>30% of online media consumption<\/span><\/a> in the United States is conducted by searchers who use both Spanish and English interchangeably.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, how could shifting your marketing plan to include Spanish search habits impact your brand\u2019s success? Let’s take a closer look…\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supply and Demand<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The English-Spanish bilingual searchers tend to be a huge area of missed opportunity for US-based advertisers. If the primary language used in their households is Spanish, their browser settings are likely to be set to Spanish, yet only 2% of US based websites support Spanish.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As marketers, you should know all about supply and demand. So, if there\u2019s demand, why shouldn\u2019t you supply? And the demand is clear: the Spanish speaking population in the US is approaching 20% (1 in 5!).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t at all hypothetical. Here’s a look at how this is impacting the real world:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Google recently shared a case study of searches related to \u201ccar parts\u201d. The results show a cost-per-click of $.79 for searches in a Spanish browser.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is compared directly to a cost-per-click of $2.65 in an English-only browser. That\u2019s nearly 3.5x lower in cost! The study also concluded that providing search results in Spanish led to a 5.7% uplift in clicks!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Focusing on Multilingual SEO<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

So, what implications does this study have when it comes to your SEO efforts? You probably (hopefully) have an idea about your brand\u2019s SEO trends. But if you want to optimize your content for Spanish search, you need to have an idea of your Spanish keywords.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Establishing a multilingual site means you need to have a separate plan for your <\/span>multilingual SEO<\/span><\/a> strategy. By monitoring keywords in Spanish browsers, you can gain insights into the search habits and preferences of Spanish-speaking audiences. This helps in tailoring content to resonate with this demographic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Optimizing for keywords that are popular in Spanish browsers can also enhance the visibility of a website in search engine results pages (SERPs) for those specific terms. This leads to better SEO performance in a target market.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Select Website Translation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first thing to note when choosing a language service is that <\/span>Google Translate<\/span> is not translation. It’s like asking your site visitor to take a taxi when you can call them an Uber.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is in part due to the differences between <\/span>browser and server-based translation<\/span> and quality of translation. It is also because <\/span>Google’s quality guidelines<\/span><\/a> lead to a decrease in search engine rankings for websites that utilize automated content. This includes content that has been “translated by an automated tool without prior review or curation by a human before it is published,” as stated by Google. Ironically, this would include Google Translate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Investing in your website and SEO are important, and they\u2019re worthy of a translation solution that does them justice. The <\/span>best website translation solution<\/span><\/a> can ensure that your content resonates with Spanish-speaking audiences and builds trust. Find a solution that will set you up for SEO success among Spanish internet browsers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the end, marketers in the U.S. should be aware of the growing audience of Spanish-speaking and, in times where you seek to outperform budget with higher sales, here is your return on marketing strategy for 2024.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
