How to do SEO Optimization a Website for English, Dutch, and French?

[Alec]

Assuming you've completed the necessary keyword research in English, Dutch, and French, your next step is to select the domain structure. You can do this is three ways: 1) separate country-specific domains, 2) sub-domains, or 3) folders.

If you are targeting people in the UK, the Netherlands and France, then I would recommend using the first method as it allows you to set up a site targeted at a specific country audience. This makes it easier to gain relevancy and ranking in search engine results in that country. However, if you're targeting all English, Dutch amd French speakers in the world, then you can use either sub-domains or folders.
