Is your B2B export website promotion ineffective? You might be overlooking this point!

Many B2B export website owners feel that their SEM (Search Engine Marketing) efforts are ineffective. They've clearly done a great job with keyword targeting, ad content, and landing pages, but still get very few lead generation and customer conversions. Does this describe you?

If you happen to be in the situation I just described, then I suggest you check whether your advertising campaigns have been localized to the target language! Language localization directly impacts keyword research, advertising effectiveness, and landing page creation.

The Impact of Language Localization on Keyword Research

Some people have asked me if it's possible to filter English keywords using Chinese keywords?      

The answer is no! Although translation software is becoming increasingly intelligent, its accuracy still has some degree of deviation. Inaccurate machine translation can cause your ad targeting to completely miss your target audience, resulting in minimal effectiveness.

Every country has its own unique way of speaking, just as English has American and British versions. Although the language used is the same, there are still subtle differences, just like in China, where each region has its own unique dialect. The same is true abroad, where local language habits prevail.

For example, there isn't a direct word for "sheep" in English; instead, there are more specific terms like "goat" and "lamb." If you don't pay attention to localized expressions and select keywords accordingly, it can lead to conflicting messages and ineffective promotion.

Language localization determines account structure and ad quality

Once the target countries for the advertising campaign are determined, we need to plan localized keywords for those countries. If the advertising copy we provide doesn't match the target market's language and expression habits, the audience won't accurately understand our intended message, and the expected advertising results won't be achieved.

The correct approach is to translate keywords and ad copy into accurate expressions in the target market's language before launching the campaign. Failing to consider English localization in the early stages of account structure planning will directly limit the scalability of later deployments and may even necessitate a complete overhaul of the account.

The impact of English localization on landing pages

In Google Ads (SEM) strategy, there are two key points: "precise traffic" and "landing page." It's not enough to just think about traffic; you need to think about transformation. To convert traffic into conversion, you must create a landing page that aligns with the cultural and aesthetic expectations of foreigners—you can't just tell your own story!

In the next article, we'll discuss in detail how to create a landing page that users can understand, find interesting, and achieve high conversion rates. If you want to learn more about B2B export website promotion, follow Xiaomeng to stay on track with your learning journey.

How to localize product expression in the target market

Many people ask, "If I've never been abroad, does that mean I can't express myself in a localized way?"

No! You can still do localized expression well even if you've never been abroad. You can:

l Learn from overseas competitors by visiting their official websites and studying the keywords and phrases they use in their advertising.

l We invite past clients to provide feedback on our advertising copy. This feedback helps us identify typos and consider various aspects such as the accuracy of word choice and cultural sensitivity.

l By cleverly utilizing Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, Ahres, and other keyword filtering tools, you can effectively improve keyword accuracy.

Mastering language localization is a crucial factor in improving ad quality. According to Google's official definition of ad quality, ad value is determined by whether an ad appears and where it appears, which is also vital to the conversion rate of our ads.
