SEO agency in Portugal for businesses
Why SEO in Portugal is different
Different results.
Google.pt shows different results and competitors from Google.co.uk. Ranking in the UK tells you nothing about Portugal.
Two languages.
Many customers search in Portuguese, even if they speak good English.
Google Maps decides local enquiries.
For clinics, restaurants and property, your Google Business Profile and reviews often matter more than your website.
Local signals count.
A .pt domain, Portuguese directories and links from Portuguese sites tell Google you belong here.
AI answers come first.
Google AI Overviews sit above the results and name a few businesses. We help you be one of them. View our AI search optimisation services.
Already running a business in Portugal?
We get you found by both audiences in the UK and Portugal. Google Maps, a steady flow of reviews, and a site whose English and Portuguese pages each rank for their own searches.
Typical clients: B2B, holiday lets, clinics and dentists, restaurants, estate agents, lawyers, accountants and relocation firms.
Selling into Portugal from the UK? Portuguese SEO without a rebuild
You rank at home. On Google.pt, you don't exist. Portuguese SEO isn't a translation job. Portuguese buyers type different words, and Google.pt rewards local signals your UK site doesn't have. We research what your buyers search for and write Portuguese pages that rank for it. Then we build the local signals that show Google you serve Portugal. Your UK site stays as it is. We add a Portuguese section, or build a separate .pt site, whichever your scorecard says will rank faster.

Questions we get asked
Do I need a .pt domain to rank in Portugal?+
It helps, but it isn't essential. A .com or .co.uk site can still rank with a Portuguese section, local links and a Google Business Profile.
Can you rank my English website in Portugal?+
Yes, for English searches made in Portugal. To reach Portuguese speakers you'll also need Portuguese pages.
Do I need Portuguese pages?+
If Portuguese speakers buy what you sell, yes. They search in Portuguese, and Google shows them Portuguese pages.
How is SEO different from Google Ads?+
Ads stop when you stop paying. SEO builds rankings that keep bringing enquiries in.
How do you measure results?+
We track your rankings on Google.pt and in the UK, and the enquiries that come from search. You get a one-page update every month.
