Getting found by buyers in new markets

Whether you export from the UK or bring products into it, buyers in your target market search online before they contact anyone. If your website only speaks to your home market, you are invisible to them.

01

Research how buyers search in each market

The words buyers use differ by country and language, and they are not always direct translations. Run keyword research for each market to find the terms people actually type.

02

Create market-specific pages

A page for each target country — in the local language where it matters, with local contact details, delivery terms and certifications — builds far more trust than a translated home page.

03

Get listed where buyers look

Trade directories, B2B marketplaces and industry associations are often where buyers start. Complete your profiles with clear product information and link back to your market pages.

04

Use LinkedIn to reach decision-makers

For B2B trade, LinkedIn lets you reach buyers by country, industry and job title. Combine regular company-page content with targeted ads.

05

Measure enquiries by market

Track where every enquiry comes from. Put more budget behind the markets and channels that bring real conversations, and pause the ones that do not.

The takeaway

Start with one priority market, do it properly, then repeat the playbook for the next one.
