Many companies expand internationally by duplicating their U.S. website, translating the language, and keeping the same architecture, navigation, and content structure across markets.

Then performance drops. International versions may convert at half the rate of the original site or struggle to gain traction altogether.

The issue usually isn’t translation. It’s assuming users in different markets search, navigate, and evaluate information the same way.

Using insights from Google SERPs and LLMs, here’s how to localize website architecture and navigation for international SEO.

How to use Google to localize content

Google’s SERP interface is localized for individual markets. Each element — menu order, topic filters, questions, tags, AI structures — reflects learned user behavior.

For example, if you search for a topic or product in the UK and Italy, you’ll get different interfaces: The Italian site might show two shopping options, while the UK site puts images at position two. These aren’t arbitrary — they’re algorithmic predictions based on observed behavior in each specific region.

Google has already done the user research. You just have to extract the signals systematically. Every SERP element is optimized through behavioral data, for example:

• Menu order reflects click-through analysis across millions of users.
• Topic filters represent observed refinement patterns.
• People Also Ask (PAA) boxes aggregate real user confusion points.
• Image tags cluster search behavior patterns.
• AI Overviews encode entity relationship patterns that a model has learned.

Your customers search everywhere. Make sure your brand shows up.

9 signals to create a localization framework

Use these nine SERP interface elements to contain localization intelligence.

• Menu order/filters reveal primary and secondary search intent. They are localized and dynamic — their order changes due to seasonalities, changes of intent, content behaviors, and breaking news.
• Topic filters show hierarchical refinement patterns (2-3 levels deep). They are influenced by trends and seasonalities, and Google mixes classic search topics with shopping filters.

• People Also Ask (PAA): Three levels are enough for discovering patterns and recurring entities through clustering.

• People Also Search For (PASF) are similar to PAAs but are related searches showing journey connections. In this case, a three-level depth is sufficient to obtain meaningful data.

• Image search tags for entity search: Each tag is also an entity related to the searched entity, or an attribution of that entity. They place entity associations in a visual search context.

• AI Overview fan-outs are AI-predicted follow-up questions from Google.
• AI Mode fan-outs are conversational search path predictions, ideal for exploring entities and triplets.
• Google web guides are pillar pages that break down a topic into subtopics. It’s ideal for understanding how Google reasons around a subject.

• Multi-LLM comparative analyses examine how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity structure their answers. LLM answers help identify both the universal semantic core shared across regions and the region-specific entities that emerge when prompted with local context. This reveals which entities matter globally versus locally.

Table of nine localization framework signals

Scaling with international SEO

Here’s an example of a product breakdown between international sites:

• 148 products × 6 query variants = 888 queries
• Four markets = 3,552 combinations
• Nine signals = 31,968 data points

However, you don’t need all 31,968 data points. Patterns emerge across 15 to 20 products, roughly 10% to 15% of the catalog. Entity relationships repeat across product categories, so sampling 15 products across factions can reveal critical localization patterns.

How to transform data into taxonomy

Let’s say there’s a hypothetical website based on the Star Wars movies called “SWLegion.com,” which sells tabletop wargaming miniatures. It has several products across factions, eras, and types.

Below is SWLegion.com’s complete URL structure across four markets.

Extract entities across signals

Using the above product catalog as an example, use each product as a query seed.

Start manual, with 10-15 products to internalize patterns. Then automate with APIs/Python, and store in a CSV/JSON. Cross-reference entities to identify co-occurrence patterns.

Combine all nine signals into a unified dataset. Then, extract entities mentioned across signals.

Weighted co-occurrence analysis

Track which entities appear together across signals. This reveals which concepts users naturally connect in their thinking.

Each signal has a different reliability weight based on how directly it reflects user intent:

• LLM mentions: 3.0 (high confidence — models trained on usage patterns)
• Query fan-outs: 2.5 (AI predicts relationships from observed behavior)
• PAA: 2.0 (actual user questions connecting entities)
• PASF: 2.0 (sequential journey connections)
• Image tags: 1.5 (visual/entity search context)
• Topic filters: 1.0 (broad categorization)

For example, say there’s a significant variation in entity relationship complexity across markets, measured as total weighted co-occurrence scores (sum of all entity pair connections, weighted by signal reliability):

• U.S.: 2,639.5 total weight
• UK: 2,359.0 total weight
• Spain: 2,266.0 total weight
• Italy: 1,084.5 total weight

This means the U.S. and UK show 2x more entity relationship complexity than Italy, indicating more complex user journeys requiring deeper content architectures.

Cross-market entity patterns

Not all entities matter equally across markets. Your content strategy depends on recognizing three distinct patterns:

• Universal entities (all four markets): These appear consistently across the U.S., UK, Spain, and Italy. Users everywhere expect this content.
• Market-specific: These entities show concentrated interest in just one market based on current signal validation. Cover these entities deeply in their market of reference but maintain lighter coverage in other markets. In future quarterly re-analysis, verify if interest for these entity types has increased in other targeted markets to determine whether to expand coverage depth accordingly.
• Regional (2-3 markets): These entities appear in most but not all markets, requiring selective deployment. Build content, deploy to 2-3 markets, and evaluate ROI before expanding.

Ontology pattern recognition

Beyond individual entities, track how different types of entities connect. This reveals what content formats work in each market.

Entities cluster into four categories: 

• Products (actual sellable items)
• Lore (Star Wars universe entities)
• Rules (game mechanics)
• Painting (techniques and processes)

Cross-ontology co-occurrence reveals which content types users expect:

• When products and lore entities appear together frequently across signals, users think in terms of narrative context for purchases:
  • Product × Lore = Battle scenario content (example: “AT-ST” + “Battle of Hoth” = Hoth battle guide)
• When products and painting entities co-occur, users research techniques for specific models:
  • Product × Painting = Unit-specific technique guides (example: “Clone Trooper” + “blue markings” = 501st painting tutorial)
• When painting and lore entities connect, users want thematic aesthetic guidance:
  • Painting × Lore = Themed painting content (example: “terrain” + “Scarif” = tropical planet terrain tutorial)
• When lore entities cluster together, users compare or navigate between story elements:
  • Lore × Lore = Era/faction comparisons (example: “Clone Wars” + “Galactic Civil War” = timeline guide)

Market-specific pattern differences

These ontology patterns vary dramatically by market, revealing which entities matter, how users think about connections, and how to optimize internal linking architecture. Here’s an example weighted co-occurrence analysis

USA: Product × Lore, weight 60.0 (highest of any market)

• What this means: American users discover products through lore narratives — build battle scenarios linking story to miniatures.
• Internal linking strategy: From the “AT-ST Walker” product page, prominently link to /lore/battle-of-hoth/ with anchor text emphasizing narrative context (“Deploy the AT-ST in the iconic Battle of Hoth”). From lore pages, link back to related products within battle scenario descriptions.

UK: Painting × Lore, weight 15.0 (unique to UK and U.S. only)

• What this means: British users want battle-themed painting guides — content like “Paint a Hoth snow base” works here but is less relevant elsewhere.
• Internal linking strategy: From /mini-painting-academy/snow-base-tutorial/, link to /lore/battle-of-hoth/ and to relevant product pages like “Snowtrooper Unit Expansion.” Create bidirectional links between painting techniques and the lore/battle contexts where those techniques apply.

Spain: Product × Lore, balanced at 27.0 each

• What this means: Spanish users balance story interest with product focus — equal emphasis needed.
• Internal linking strategy: Moderate internal linking between product and lore pages. From “Luke Skywalker Commander” product page, include links to both /lore/luke-skywalker/ and related products. Avoid over-emphasizing either connection type.

Italy: Product × Lore weight 10.5 (weakest)

• What this means: Italian users don’t connect lore to products — skip elaborate battle scenarios. Focus on product specs and painting basics.
• Internal linking strategy: Minimize product-to-lore internal links. From product pages, prioritize linking to /mini-painting-academy/ tutorials and related products by faction or unit type. Keep lore pages separate from product discovery paths.

How to validate your framework

Entities should appear in 3+ signals to be validated. One appearance could be an anomaly or noise.

False-positive check

Signals reveal what users reference, not always what they want. For example, a site appears across multiple markets in various signals, so it’s confirmed as a universal entity in LLM responses across all markets. But its presence in Image Search tags is minimal.

• Interpretation: Users ask about the site as a reference point but aren’t searching for images of its products extensively.
• Strategy: Build a comparison article/FAQ, not extensive image galleries or deep informational content.
• Validation question: Does the signal show what users want or what they’re using for context?

Coverage gap analysis

For example, let’s say signal validation reveals dramatically different entity landscapes across markets — in other words, how many distinct, validated entities appeared in 3+ signals per market:

• U.S.: 31 entities
• UK: 28 entities
• Spain: 29 entities
• Italy: 16 entities

Italy has half the entity coverage of other markets, revealing a fundamental difference in how Italian users approach this product category — a strong strategic signal. 

If Italian users show concentrated interest in fewer entities, with heavier emphasis on foundational questions (for example, PAAs) rather than deep entity exploration, they’re asking, “what is this?” and “how does this work?”

There’s an information gain opportunity here: While competitors might translate all 31 US entities to Italian, creating shallow content Italian users don’t need, you can dominate the 16 entities that actually matter to this market with comprehensive, beginner-focused content.

Actions to take:

• Italy needs foundational 101-level content rather than deep entity exploration.
• FAQ-driven approach matches PAA dominance in Italian signals.
• Invest in clear product specifications, basic painting tutorials, and simple rule explanations.
• Build comprehensive coverage of the 16 validated entities before considering the other 15.
• Monitor quarterly. If Italy’s validated entity count grows, market maturity increases, and expand coverage accordingly.

You’re not trying to force-fit U.S. models onto Italian users, you’re serving the actual information needs for this market.

How to structure internal architecture

Maintain a consistent technical structure across all markets with canonical tags, hreflang, CMS architecture, and analytics.

For the complete structure of the SWLegion.com example, see its full architecture.

Ecommerce section:

• U.S. (root): /store/, /store/{category}/, /store/{filter}/
• UK: /en-gb/store/, /en-gb/store/{category}/, /en-gb/store/{filter}/
• Italy: /it-it/negozio/, /it-it/negozio/{categoria}/, /it-it/negozio/{filtro}/
• Spain: /es-es/tienda/, /es-es/tienda/{categoría}/, /es-es/tienda/{filtro}/

Content sections:

• U.S. (root): /lore/{entity}/, /star-wars-legion/rules/{topic}/, /mini-painting-academy/{guide}/, /about-us/
• UK: /en-gb/lore/{entity}/, /en-gb/star-wars-legion/rules/{topic}/, /en-gb/mini-painting-academy/{guide}/, /en-gb/about-us/
• Italy: /it-it/lore/{entità}/, /it-it/star-wars-legion/regole/{argomento}/, /it-it/accademia-pittura-miniature/{guida}/, /it-it/chi-siamo/
• Spain: /es-es/lore/{entidad}/, /es-es/star-wars-legion/reglas/{tema}/, /es-es/academia-pintura-miniaturas/{guía}/, /es-es/sobre-nosotros/

Slug localization:

• Store slugs fully localized (/store/ → /negozio/ → /tienda/).
• Content section slugs localized where natural (/rules/ → /regole/ → /reglas/, /mini-painting-academy/ → /accademia-pittura-miniature/).
• Entity slugs within content localized for official translations (Spain: /es-es/lore/conde-dooku/ vs English /count-dooku/).

What stays consistent

• Path structure: /lore/, /store/, /rules/ exist everywhere even if entity coverage or category emphasis differs.
• Product inventory: Physical products remain the same across markets (same 148 SKUs), though merchandising and filtering emphasis may vary.
• Core navigation sections: All markets have Store, Lore, Rules, Mini Painting Academy, About Us, but internal linking architecture and content depth within each section adapts to market signals.

Entity coverage

Create a master entity list flagged by market validation. This will become your strategic content roadmap, preventing duplication while ensuring comprehensive coverage where it matters.

Entities cluster into two strategic categories:

• Universal entities validated across all 4 markets: Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, painting, terrain, miniatures, core factions (Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, Separatist) — these form your foundation and users everywhere expect this content.
• Market-specific entities showing concentrated validation in one or two markets: 501st Legion (U.S./UK only), Shatterpoint comparison (Italy only), Wookiees (Spain only) — these are your localization differentiators.

Phase 1 build: Start with universal entities. Build 12-15 cornerstone pages, translate to all four markets for 48-60 total pages. These establish a baseline coverage across your entire international footprint.

Phase 2 build: Add market-specific entities. Create 25-35 localized pages to be deployed selectively only to validated markets. A 501st Legion deep-dive may go live in the U.S. and UK but not in Italy or Spain.

Total strategic content: 73-95 pages across four markets. This is a better, more refined strategy than covering 148 product entities × four markets, adding lore/rules/painting content for all entities across all markets, which would create dozens of wasted pages. 

How to implement an AI roadmap

Building out your international SEO can present some challenges. Here are some roadblocks and strategies to do it right. 

Implementation challenges

Let’s look at some hurdles to implementing AI to search.

CMS limitations

Most CMS platforms aren’t designed for entity-level localization. What’s needed is conditional page creation based on market validation.

For example: Add a “Target Markets” custom field to your CMS with checkboxes for different markets — U.S., UK, Italy, Spain, in our example. 

Content team scaling

Creating dozens of localized pages requires subject matter expertise, native language writers, and cross-market coordination. 

Start with one market — the second-largest, not the largest, to learn with a lower risk. Build 5-10 entity pages, validate traffic and conversions, and then scale to other markets only when ROI is proven.

Maintenance 

Markets evolve, new products launch, entities gain or lose relevance, and signals need periodic re-analysis. 

Re-run an abbreviated nine-signal analysis on the top 20 entities on a quarterly basis. Look for significant shifts: If entities drop from 3+ signals to one signal, consider deprecating content.

Continuous intelligence systems

Here are some tools to help monitor AI systems:

• Wikipedia edit monitoring: Create watchlists for 10-15 key entities per market, and set email alerts for significant edits. Major additions or edit wars signal rising interest — if that happens, review entity page content and update accordingly.
• Reddit velocity tracking: Track comment velocity on entity mentions. Entities mentioned in 5+ threads in one week (an unusual spike) should be investigated. 
• TikTok and Instagram trends analysis: Monitor trending hashtags and viral content patterns related to your product categories. Rising hashtag usage or viral content patterns can indicate emerging entity interest before they appear in traditional search signals.
• Google Trends “rising” analysis: Monitor “rising” queries monthly (not absolute volume). Queries with +100% week-over-week growth signal emerging interest. 

Building a roadmap

Now that you know what roadblocks lie ahead, here’s how to implement the plan.

Month 1: Foundation

• Choose one market for learning and prototyping. Select 10-15 products to sample and conduct a systematic nine-signal analysis.
• Create an entity list with co-occurrence weights and 3-5 validated market-specific entities.

Months 2-3: Content creation

• Build universal pillar pages and translate to all markets, and build market-specific entity hubs, starting with one initially. Implement internal linking based on co-occurrence weights.

Months 4-6: Validation and expansion

• Monitor entity coverage rates, LLM topic visibility, and market-specific traffic growth.

Months 7-12: Full multi-market rollout

• Expand to all markets. Run continuous intelligence systems, including: Wikipedia watchlists, Reddit monitoring, TikTok/Instagram trends, and schedule quarterly signal re-analysis.

How to measure success

After implementing changes and incorporating AI into your international search strategy, here’s how to determine what’s working and where to improve.

Entity coverage rate

This metric tells you if you’re covering entities that actually matter to users in each specific market, not just translating pages indiscriminately.

• Formula: (Entity pages built / Total validated entities from signal analysis) × 100
• Example: Your signal analysis validated 28 entities in the UK (entities appearing in 3+ signals). You built dedicated pages for 22 of these entities. Your entity coverage rate is: 22/28, or 79%.
• Target: 70%+ coverage for each priority market.

Consider the strategic difference. For example, let’s say your UK site covers 79%, or 22 of 28 validated entities, focusing resources on entities users actually search for, ask questions about, and engage with across multiple signals. 

While a competitor translates 148 product entities, achieving “100% coverage” on paper, but wastes resources covering entities UK users show minimal interest in.

Your 21% gap (6 uncovered entities) isn’t a failure, but a strategic prioritization. 

These lower-priority entities can be added if quarterly re-analysis shows their signal validation strengthening — moving from 2 signals to 3+ or appearing in additional signal types.

Tools for tracking entity coverage:

• Screaming Frog: Crawl your site and count entity pages by market subfolder.
• Google Sheets: Cross-reference validated entity lists against live URL inventory.

LLM topic visibility

Track whether your site appears in LLM responses for key topics, not individual citation counts. The goal is to measure topical authority, not vanity metrics.

For ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity/Claude: Use WAIKay.io to systematically track your visibility across multiple LLMs. The platform allows you to:

• Set up monitoring for specific queries across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI platforms
• Track whether your domain appears in responses (mentions, summaries, citations)
• Monitor visibility changes over time with historical tracking
• Generate reports showing presence/absence per topic, per LLM

For AI Overviews/AI Mode: Use Semrush One to monitor Google’s AI-powered SERP features. Alternative tools, such as Ahrefs, Advanced Web Rankings, and SISTRIX (AI Overview presence reporting), offer similar capabilities.

Target benchmarks:

• Universal topics: Visibility in 2+ LLMs across all markets.
• Market-specific topics: Visibility in 2+ LLMs for a specific market’s language queries.

This validates if your content quality and entity coverage are sufficient for LLMs to consider you an authoritative source worth including in their responses. Lack of visibility signals content gaps or insufficient topical depth.

Incorporate AI and LLMs into your international SEO today

Most international sites treat taxonomy as infrastructure: build once, maintain minimally, and refresh every 2-3 years during a website redesign. 

Our SWLegion.com example started with an identical architecture across four markets. Implementing this strategy, we showed how to localize architecture and navigation and optimize for each market.

This strategy builds something fundamentally different — architecture that breathes with market behavior, responding to signals rather than assumptions. You’re cultivating taxonomy rather than just maintaining a website.

Your new taxonomy will reflect current user behavior and also anticipate and adapt to behavioral shifts before competitors notice that the market has changed.

Over the past few decades, digital marketing has settled into a stable system. While it spans SEO, content marketing, social media, and digital advertising, many programs have relied on a predictable core that didn’t always use every available channel.

This gave digital marketers a sense of predictability and comfort. For years, teams stuck with what worked and refined execution through the same familiar framework. AI search has disrupted that comfort and exposed our inconsistencies. To succeed with AI SEO, we need a much more comprehensive approach.

AI SEO rewards strategic marketing 

Over the past 15 to 20 years, digital marketing settled into a predictable rhythm, with each channel playing a defined role. 

Content marketing, social media, SEO, paid advertising, and email followed similar strategies with little variation. Little happened outside this structure, and many of us grew “lazy.” 

The structure worked, so we let other strategies fall away.

The problem? It created a false sense of security. We should have been doing more all along, and those broader strategies are now driving real visibility in AI search.

AI has disrupted digital marketing in ways that weren’t obvious at first. It’s changed user search behavior and how brands are evaluated. 

Traditional search relied on algorithms and a primary source. AI pulls from multiple inputs across many sources.

Those sources should already exist. They’re your marketing — the way you present your brand across platforms like social media, third-party directories, press releases, brand mentions, and more. In short, anything outside your website.

In this system, your website and the strategic marketing that supports it are just one part of the whole. It’s now one of many sources AI uses to understand your brand and offer. AI search reflects the strength of marketing across all these sources.

Visibility Is not limited to your website

One of the biggest disruptions AI has caused is that the website is no longer central to your marketing strategy or visibility. It’s now part of a much larger ecosystem. You still need a strong website, as always, but you must account for how much broader the landscape has become with AI search.

While driving traffic to your website still matters, it’s no longer the only focus. The goal used to be maximizing website visibility — achieve that, and results would follow. That still works to a degree, but treating it as the only path to visibility is outdated.

AI pulls information from a wide range of sources — articles, brand mentions across platforms, third-party profiles, published content — and all of it shapes how it understands who you are and what you do. 

Your website is just one part of this broader scope. If you focus only on your website, you limit AI’s ability to find you.

This is where most marketing programs fall short, especially those built before AI. To modernize, your brand must be visible across a much wider scope. 

AI SEO requires an intentional presence

AI favors brands that show up online with intent. They’ve built a cohesive ecosystem across the wider internet. 

A segmented marketing approach may have worked in the past, but it no longer has the same impact. We got away with it because when each channel performed well, it still felt effective and met our goals.

AI doesn’t allow this anymore. It favors brands with many connected signals, because it links them across the internet. It evaluates how your brand appears across these sources and looks for consistent messaging and expertise. 

When these signals align, your AI visibility strengthens. When they’re scattered or your broader presence is weak, your AI visibility is weak.

This is why it’s important to develop a marketing strategy that accounts for this. A brand with a coordinated presence across the internet — across its website and other marketing channels — is what’s required today. 

Lazy marketing strategies are exposed

This is the real issue with “lazy marketing.” We define it as sticking to the old approach — treating each channel separately and relying on the same tactics that have always worked. That approach may have delivered results before, but those days are gone.

At the time, this approach still delivered results. A strong SEO foundation consistently drove leads, and paid advertising offered similar predictability. These tactics worked so well that there was little need to go beyond them.

We need to go beyond it to keep up. Your brand needs to show up across multiple sources — that’s how AI finds you. If your competitors are already building their presence, you need to do the same or get left behind. They’ll take more space in AI-generated answers than you.

This means that if you have gaps in your marketing, you can’t hide them anymore. AI exposes these inconsistencies and forces you into the broader digital space.

Transition into the era of AI search 

Now is the time to move beyond the old model and adopt a new understanding of what works in digital marketing. The old approach no longer works on its own — it must be part of a broader system.

These are the strategies we should have been using all along: press releases, directory listings, and marketing beyond your own website.

AI search rewards an all-encompassing marketing strategy because that’s what works. Core channels like social media, SEO, content marketing, and paid advertising still matter, but they’re not enough on their own. 

AI hasn’t changed the rules. It has enforced them.

This is what has always worked in marketing. The difference now is that you can’t get away with doing less.

Anyway, Nintendo describes it as a "cinematic take" with fully voiced dialogue, a sweeping orchestral soundtrack, all-new cutscenes, and redesigned characters with a more animal-like aesthetic. It will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 25, 2026. Among the game's additions is a prologue depicting a past mission involving James McCloud, Fox's father, that […]

The search index is evolving from ranking pages to supporting AI-generated answers. In a technical blog post “on the evolving technical characteristics of the index,” published today, Microsoft Bing explained why AI search needs a different indexing system than traditional web search.

Traditional search vs. grounding systems. Microsoft said traditional search can rely on users to self-correct, while AI systems need stronger evidence because they generate committed answers.

• Traditional search is built around documents. Users get ranked links, scan the results, and decide what to trust.
• Grounding systems are built around supportable facts with clear sourcing. The AI uses that information to generate a combined answer, where mistakes can compound across sources and reasoning steps.

They shared this table:

What’s different. Traditional ranking is optimized for relevance. Grounding must also assess whether information is accurate, up to date, clearly sourced, and sufficient to support an answer. That means AI indexes need to account for whether:

• A page’s meaning survives chunking and transformation.
• The source is clearly identified.
• The information is fresh enough to use.
• Important facts are actually retrievable and groundable.
• Grounding systems need to detect disagreements between sources before generating an answer.

Stale content. Stale content creates a different risk in AI answers, Microsoft said. In traditional search, it may hurt ranking quality. In grounding systems, it can directly generate a wrong answer.

Contradictions. A search engine can rank one source above another and let users decide. Grounding systems must recognize conflicting evidence before turning it into a single answer, according to Microsoft.

Retrieval is more complex. Search is usually a single interaction: query in, ranked results out. Microsoft said grounded AI systems may retrieve information repeatedly, refine based on earlier results, combine evidence, and reassess confidence before answering.

How indexing quality is measured. Search quality has traditionally focused on ranking performance and user behavior. Grounding systems also need to measure factual fidelity, source quality, freshness, evidence strength, and conflict detection. The industry is still learning how to rigorously measure grounding quality, Microsoft said.

Grounding doesn’t replace search. Grounding builds on existing search infrastructure while adding systems focused on evidence quality, attribution, and deciding when an AI system should avoid answering, Microsoft said.

Why we care. For decades, search indexes helped determine which pages users should visit. Today, AI grounding determines which information supports an AI-generated answer. Microsoft described grounding as a new layer on top of traditional search, built for AI systems that need higher confidence in the information they use. That shift could push brands and publishers to focus more on creating information AI systems can confidently use.
