Even though we have done SEO internationally in almost a decade there has always been a special place in our hearts for Sweden. This is where we started and this is where we have the majority of our clients today (it hasn’t always been like that). Sweden differs from other markets when it comes to SEO and this is something you need to know.
First of all, Sweden is a small market, much smaller than the competitiveness of the search results would imply. A study we did a few years ago would show that the US has only about 7 times higher budgets/resources for SEO, if you look at link graphs and content published. Seven times higher might sound a lot but you have to remember that less than 10 million people live in Sweden, it should be about 30 times higher. In a lot of ways this means that the you can’t just adapt themethods from English-speaking markets and expect a positive ROI.
Methods differ for other reasons too. The Swedish language is a small one, barely spoken outside Sweden and a few select areas in Finland. This means that when Google talks about quality of content, they really don’t know at all as much about the Swedish language sites as they would with a bigger language. This also means that a lot of older methods work just fine, those that Google in English speaking countries have put an effective end to. You’ll have to be aware of this even though we might not recommend them, they still add to the competitveness of the Swedish search results.
