ccTLD vs subdirectory for international SEO (EU buyer guide)

Agencia SEO con precios públicos y ejecución medible

Architecture choices lock quarters. This EN guide compares ccTLD vs subdirectory for EU brands — then points to the Spanish deep-dive and public plan bands.

  • ccTLD: strong country signal, split authority
  • Subdirectory: one authority, cleaner ops
  • Hreflang implications
  • Map to Dominio / Élite

Quick decision rule

One brand, shared stack, limited local legal needs → subdirectory + hreflang usually wins. Separate legal entities / heavy local trust → consider ccTLD. Deep-dive: arquitectura SEO internacional.

Shopify Markets note

Markets can look like «free locales» and still ship duplicate/canonical debt. Read Shopify Markets SEO mistakes · Hreflang QA checklist for marketers.

Public plans on /pricing and /planes. Pick Dominio or Élite, or request a diagnosis.

FAQ

Is this the same as the Spanish architecture hub?

Sister page in EN for international buyers; Spanish hub stays the deep operational guide.

What about gTLD + hreflang only?

Often fine with clean subfolders. We decide in kickoff from stack + markets.

Plan?

Architecture work sits inside Dominio/Élite retainers.

Does translation strategy change with architecture?

Yes — see translate-vs-localise-seo; thin mirrors fail on both ccTLD and subfolders.

Multi-location brands?

Local pages plus locales: seo-multi-location-eu.

What does international SEO usually cost?

Typically Dominio (from €799/mo launch) or Élite. See /pricing and /planes. Decision guide: Dominio vs Élite.

How do we start?

1) SEO diagnosis (hreflang/architecture). 2) Agree markets. 3) Checkout Dominio/Élite on /planes. Remote kickoff with EU timezone overlap.

Is there a minimum term?

Yes — 3 months. Multi-market work needs an execution cycle; we do not sell one-month miracles.
