summary
Claims that localize not just translate and use subfolders for international SEO are backed by concrete steps: set hreflang tags, duplicate and rename images, translate URLs and metadata, and run Screaming Frog and Google Search Console checks. The team of ~20 launches a Portuguese e‑commerce into Spain, tracks indexed pages and a clear rise in impressions, and watches behavior with Microsoft Clarity. Practical caveats include legal checks, local billing and hosting, and the higher cost and time of true localization versus machine translation.
