Italian SEO: Analysis, Strategy & Implementation

Be the answer when Italians search for what you sell.

Hi, I’m Lorenzo Mazza. I’ve been doing SEO since 2008, for Italian, European and American companies. Italian search has its own words, its own intent and its own competitors, and a translated website rarely ranks. I help you read that demand, fix what holds your site back and write content that Italians, and search engines, recognize as their own.

Audit my Italian visibility

Let me ask you a few things

Take a second with these questions about your site in Italy:

  • When Italians search for what you sell, who do they find: you, or your competitors?
  • Is your Italian site written for Italians, or translated from another language?
  • Do your Italian visits turn into leads and sales, or do they just pass by?

Here’s how we’ll grow your Italian search

  1. Audit what you already have

    • SEO Services & Audit
    • International SEO

    I start from your site and your data: technical health, indexing, speed, structured data, internal links, and how your language versions talk to each other. For international sites I check hreflang, domains and folders, and what happens to Italian users when they land. If you already get Italian traffic, Search Console and analytics show where you stand today.

  2. Map how Italians search

    • Italian Keyword Research & Search Intent
    • Semantic SEO

    Then I map your industry’s keyword universe in Italian: the words people use, what they want when they use them, and the topics your brand should own. I work with entities and topical authority, not single keywords: a map of territories to occupy, so search engines and AI assistants understand what you’re an expert in.

  3. Write in Italian, for Italians

    • SEO Copywriting (IT/EN/ES)
    • Translation & Transcreation
    • Italian Voice Over
    • Document Translation

    Writing for Italians isn’t translating for Italians. I write SEO copy in Italian, English and Spanish, and when you already have content, I adapt it with transcreation: same message, Italian voice. With my network I also provide Italian voice over for videos and certified document translation, for example for genealogy and Italian citizenship.

  4. Turn visits into leads

    • B2B SEO & Lead Generation

    Traffic only matters if it brings business. For B2B companies I build pages around the questions buyers ask before they contact a supplier: specifications, comparisons, use cases, prices. Then we measure which pages bring real contacts, and grow those.

  5. Win locally

    • Local SEO & Google Business Profile

    If you have an office, a store or a showroom in Italy, local search is where many customers will find you first. I set up and optimize your Google Business Profile, local pages and reviews, so you show up on Maps and in local results for the cities that matter to you.

SEO with a team behind it

I lead the strategy, the analysis and the content. When the project needs more hands, I work with colleagues I trust:

For focused projects the team stays small and costs stay light. For bigger ones, we work at agency level. Either way, you talk to one person: me.

  • Developers for technical fixes, migrations and performance.
  • Native writers and translators for large content projects and certified translations.
  • Digital PR specialists to earn links and mentions from Italian sites.

FAQ

How long does SEO take to show results in Italy?

It depends on your site and your market. Technical fixes can show effects within weeks; content and authority usually take a few months to build.

Can you work on a site that isn’t on WordPress?

Yes. I’ve worked on many platforms, from WordPress to large ecommerce systems. When changes need a developer, I write clear tickets or bring in my network.

Do you only write in Italian?

I write SEO copy in Italian, English and Spanish, and I adapt existing content to the Italian market with transcreation.

Do you also do link building?

Yes, through my Digital PR & Link Building service: links from Italian sites that are relevant to your sector, never spam.

How do you report on results?

With Search Console, analytics and rank tracking, in a monthly report that shows what changed, why, and what comes next.
