My first post in the English-speaking world 2025, let’s go!
With over a decade of experience in Chinese SEO, I have witnessed the evolution of search engine algorithms and accumulated valuable insights into how to rank Chinese websites higher in search results. Now, I have decided to pick up English after a 20-year hiatus, committing to daily study through an app, and embarking on my English SEO journey in 2025. This article marks my starting point in the English-speaking world.
From Chinese SEO to English SEO: A Long-Overdue Transition
After running the Chinese SEO race for over a decade, I’ve seen more and more businesses expand into overseas markets. I fully understand the importance of English SEO, as it enables businesses to reach a broader global audience.
English, which I had neglected for 20 years, felt like a dusty book—strange and unfamiliar when I opened it again. But I believe that with my understanding of SEO and daily persistence in learning through the app, I can overcome the language barrier.
In 2025, I have set a clear goal for myself: not only to master English but also to transform my Chinese SEO experience into an advantage for English SEO, enabling more international users to find valuable content through search.
Daily English Learning Check-Ins: The Gradual Accumulation of Language Skills
Choosing the right English learning app is the first step. Fu Wei recommended an app called Bai Zhan Ci, where dozens of students form teams to check in daily. Its check-in mechanism gives me the motivation to persist, as if I’ve made an unbreakable commitment to myself.
At first, even simple daily conversations posed challenges, and I frequently made mistakes in spelling words. However, I did not give up. I started with foundational SEO-related vocabulary, such as “keyword research,” “backlink,” and “ranking,” memorizing five words daily and gradually expanding my vocabulary.
The listening and reading exercises in the app were a huge help. I deliberately chose articles and audio content related to SEO, which allowed me to learn English while also staying updated on the latest trends in English SEO—a win-win situation.
After a period of daily check-ins, I went from stumbling at the beginning to being able to read simple English SEO articles. Though progress was slow, every small change filled me with confidence.
The 2025 English SEO Journey: A New Exploration Combining Experience and Learning
In Chinese SEO, understanding user search intent is key, and this principle applies equally to English SEO. I applied the methods used in Chinese SEO to analyze user needs in the English-speaking world, using tools to study English users’ search habits.
English SEO and Chinese SEO share commonalities but also have differences. For example, English keywords are expressed more flexibly, and users’ search habits also vary. During my English learning process, I pay special attention to common expressions related to SEO and incorporate them into my keyword strategies.
Drawing on the data analysis skills I’ve developed through Chinese SEO, I can more quickly understand user behavior data from English search engines. By analyzing this data, I can adjust content direction to better align with users’ search needs—a key advantage as I embark on my English SEO journey in 2025.
Essential Tools for English SEO: Reliable Partners on the Journey
The translation tool Deepl gives me more confidence when writing English content. It promptly points out grammatical errors and inappropriate expressions, preventing language issues from affecting content quality—a critical factor for improving Google search rankings.
Comprehensive SEO tools like SEMrush provide a thorough analysis of website performance, including ranking changes and backlink status. Through daily English learning, I have gradually learned to interpret the English reports generated by these tools, providing data support for optimization strategies.
2025 English SEO Outlook: Growing Through Challenges
The journey of English SEO is inevitably filled with challenges, including language barriers, different search habits, and constantly updated algorithms that I need to overcome. However, I believe that my daily English learning and years of SEO experience will help me adapt gradually.
I look forward to seeing the English content I optimize achieve good rankings in Google searches by 2025, and I also anticipate that this journey will enable me to achieve new breakthroughs in my SEO capabilities.
This first article in the English-speaking world is a testament to my journey. In the future, I will continue to persist in learning English SEO, grow through challenges, and connect more valuable content with global users through search.
