As the internet continues to connect Bharat with the world, businesses aiming for global reach can no longer afford to communicate in just one language. At H.I.G.H (Sugriva), we believe that multilingual websites are not just a luxury—they are a strategic necessity for international success and long-term SEO performance.
Why Go Multilingual?
Over 75% of global internet users prefer to shop or engage with content in their native language. A multilingual website enables your brand to:
- Build trust and connection with international users
- Expand reach in non-English-speaking regions
- Improve user engagement, conversion, and retention
- Show commitment to inclusivity and global culture
🔍 The SEO Advantage of Multilingual Websites
Google and other search engines index multilingual content separately for each language version of your website. This has massive SEO implications:
1. Improved International Visibility
When your content is properly localized and optimized in different languages, it can rank higher in local search engine results (e.g., Google India, Google Germany, Google France).
2. Hreflang Tags Help Search Engines Understand Language & Region
Implementing hreflang attributes tells Google which version of your site is for which language or country, avoiding duplicate content penalties and improving relevance in regional searches.
3. Reduced Bounce Rate & Higher Engagement
Users stay longer on a website that “speaks their language.” Search engines reward this behavior with better rankings and lower bounce rates.
4. Keyword Opportunities in Multiple Markets
Each language gives you new keyword landscapes to dominate, especially in less competitive local markets.
5. Stronger Brand Authority Globally
Consistent, high-quality multilingual content positions your brand as globally trusted and locally relevant—exactly what Google loves.
🌍 Real-World Impact: What We Do at H.I.G.H
At Hoysala International Growth Hub, our Store Hub and global offerings are gradually being localized into major languages like Kannada, Hindi, German, Spanish, French, and more.
We aim to:
- Enable vernacular-first Indian MSMEs to sell globally

Best Practices for Multilingual SEO
- Use subdirectories or subdomains (example.com/fr/ or fr.example.com)
- Add hreflang tags correctly for each language version
- Avoid auto-translation; prefer human or AI-assisted localization
- Localize not just text, but images, CTAs, and meta data
- Use geo-targeting in Google Search Console
The Future is Multilingual
As we move toward a truly global digital Bharat, building a multilingual website is no longer just a technical upgrade—it's a strategic investment in visibility, growth, and customer connection.
