Kelly Quintana — Content Writer
Content localization is about building a clear image of where the client is to ensure they reach their target audience. I like to highlight what makes a particular region unique. The key to captivating regional markets is creating blog topics that are not only relevant but also tailored to the local audience’s lifestyle, interests, and concerns. For example, if I’m working with a client based in California, I will make sure to reference well-known tourist spots such as Disneyland and tie them to the services offered by the client. Maybe there’s a personal injury firm nearby that can help with any injury claims that occured on Disneyland grounds. Maybe a dental client is located near a surfing hotspot—I’d craft a blog on how to handle dental emergencies, like breaking a tooth while catching a wave.
Another key element in establishing content localization is external localization. External linking helps build not just SEO, but it helps the reader find resources in their area that further establish the client as an authority in the area. If a client is in Colorado, for example, a good focus area is the snowsports scene. I can link to local weather statistics, popular ski resorts, and, in some cases, relevant news articles to show the reader that the client is connected to the community. When it all comes together, content localization doesn’t just boost SEO; it helps the client build trust and engagement with their regional audience.

Understanding who the client is and where they come from is a key element to creating great content. Content localization allows our team of skilled writers to connect to the target audience by highlighting the unique aspects of a particular region, city, or state. We do this in our writing by linking region-specific information that the reader may be familiar with or by suggesting a blog topic that is relevant to the unique factors of a specific state. For example, we would not suggest a blog topic about driving in the wintertime for a personal injury lawyer in Texas. Instead, we may choose to write a blog about the most dangerous highways to avoid in Houston, Texas, and link to some state-specific statistics to highlight the content of the article.
Our writers work in tandem with our SEO team to ensure each piece of content is optimized for the regional market that will best serve their marketing needs. Contact us today to learn more about our content localization strategy and how we could help with your business’ digital marketing.

Content planning is essential when localizing content for different regional markets. Here’s why strategic planning is the backbone of our localization efforts:
1. Ensures Consistency Across Markets
Content planning helps maintain a consistent brand voice while adapting to local cultures. It ensures all localized content, regardless of the region it’s tailored for, aligns with the overarching brand message.
2. Enhances Resource Efficiency
In the content planning phase, we do research to understand what audiences are asking, how to solve pain points, and how we can tailor our content. This includes finding resource links for writers to stay updated on important details, such as changing laws and regulations.
3. Predicts and Manages Risks
Planning allows us to anticipate potential cultural sensitivities and legal issues that might arise with content in different regions. This proactive stance helps us manage risks before they become problematic, ensuring our content is both respectful and compliant with local regulations.
4. Aligns with Local Trends and Events
Content planning involves understanding and integrating local trends and events, significantly enhancing engagement. By aligning our content with what’s current and relevant locally, we capture the interest of regional audiences more effectively and foster stronger connections.
5. Writing With Local Keywords in Mind
When writing content, I try to optimize the content for regional search engines by incorporating locally relevant keywords. Generally, this requires research into what the local audience may be searching for based on the topic, including details about dangerous local highways or specific dental procedures trending in a certain area.
By conducting regional keyword research, Market My Market ensures our content not only attracts the right audience but also complies with local SEO practices.
