Hello! Who are you, and what is your business about?

I’m William Mamane, the Chief Marketing Officer at Tomedes, a global leader in translation, localization, and AI-driven language solutions. Tomedes provides professional translation, interpreting, and localization services for businesses and individuals. 

At the same time, our AI translator, MachineTranslation.com, is designed to make AI translation accessible – especially for small businesses, helping them reach broader audiences without compromising quality.

Our mission is simple: to make cutting-edge AI accessible and bridge language barriers by combining it with human expertise, ensuring businesses, customers, and professionals can confidently communicate globally.

What’s the backstory of your business?

Tomedes was founded in 2007, well before the AI boom, to provide high-quality translation and localization services. As demand for faster and more cost-effective translations grew, we explored ways to integrate AI while maintaining human-level accuracy.

That’s how MachineTranslation.com was born. We realized that businesses needed an objective, AI translation tool to compare translations across multiple engines and refine them in real time. Instead of relying on just one translation source, users can now access and customize translations using AI-driven insights.

In addition to aggregating multiple AI and LLM translation sources, I am proud to introduce its AI Translation Agent, a breakthrough feature that allows users to interactively refine translations based on their preferences. This user-driven customization ensures that translations match the intended tone, terminology, and context, providing businesses with unparalleled accuracy.

Since launch, what has worked to attract more organic traffic?

SEO has played a critical role in our growth strategy. Some key approaches that worked for us include:

1. High-Quality, Evergreen Content

2. Link-Building & Digital PR

  • By getting featured on industry blogs, guest posting, and being cited in language-tech discussions, we secured backlinks from authoritative sources like G2 and TrustPilot.

  • MachineTranslation.com’s 100,000 free translation credits monthly (for registered users, and one-time for unregistered users) also act as an organic lead magnet.

Have you learned anything particularly helpful in your SEO Journey?

One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is that SEO is not just about rankings. It’s about trust. Users and search engines reward credibility, so focusing on experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) has been vital.

Additionally, the impact of AI on SEO is becoming clearer. From AI-driven content creation to automated multilingual SEO, leveraging AI effectively gives businesses an edge in the digital landscape.

What SEO tools do you use for your business? (Your SEO Tech Stack)

We use a mix of AI-powered tools and traditional SEO platforms:

  • Ahrefs – For keyword research, competitor analysis, and backlink audits.
  • Google Search Console – Provides search performance and traffic insights.
  • MachineTranslation.com – Used for multilingual keyword expansion and content localization.

Can you share your efforts related to Link-Building?

Our strategy focuses on a mix of digital PR, guest blogging, AI-driven content outreach, and social media amplification:

  • Industry Partnerships: We collaborate with localization blogs, AI communities, and SaaS companies to share insights and build relationships. A recent collaboration with AI Master on YouTube helped us reach a broader audience and showcase our AI-driven translation capabilities. Watch it here: AI Master x MachineTranslation.com.
