Just wondering how do I rank better in another country? My site is getting Spanish traffic and I think there is an opportunity to cash in with this type of traffic. Would a translation plugin do the trick?
In what language is actually your site? And if you want to target any specific country then just do it through your google webmasters tool account.
You can target any country with your specific server or hosting, your domain extension and webmaster tool.
Avoid using automated translation service as they may be spammy. Instead use real translators. Another way is to create a website in Spanish language. This might take time but will work well for your targeted audience.
Have you ever read automatically translated content? If yes, were you satisfied? I don't think so, as it usually is poorly written and looks strange. If you are serious about your website and have great content in one language why would you spoil it using auto-translation? Just spend some budget on human translation (find freelancers on upwork etc.). Trust me it'll benefit much more.
Let's suppose you want to rank in Nigeria. You will make backlink on these websites that are getting major traffic from Nigeria and their keywords are ranking in Nigeria
Pay for Spanish language articles, choose any Spanish domain extension for better performance in a particular target country.
