Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Devanur, appreciate the response.

Yeah I have read that before, and took everything into account when setting up the site. My only issue now is really pushing the SEO ongoing. Would you say pushing the link building on the main domain (English site and English SEO) would in turn rank the sub domain as well?

Many thanks

Hi everyone,

I currently run a website called Barquitos www.barquitos.com

The site is an extension of a shop that is based here in Spain. Though because the town is particularly touristy we built the website to offer English and Spanish as language options on the site. English on Barquitos.com and Spanish through a sub domain es.barquitos.com.

In an ideal world I want to rank the English version for English phrases on Google.co.uk, and the Spanish sub domain on es.barquitos.com. However, my Spanish is only at a reasonable standard, probably not good enough to look at writing quality content in Spanish.

Is building up the Page Authority and Domain authority for the English main domain enough to rank the Spanish sub domain or do we need a focussed approach for both languages?

Any tips or advice for helping to rank sub domains in foreign languages would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone
