International B2B Marketing - Frequently Asked Questions

 It's all about professionally presenting your company on the biggest international business platforms such as Europages, WLW - Wer liefert was and Alibaba. Through these platforms, you reach millions of B2B buyers across Europe and the world. The service includes the preparation of your profile, content optimisation, product editing and translations. In addition, you receive comprehensive support from the GeoSplet team. You focus on the offer, we focus on getting it seen by as many potential customers as possible. This way you open the door to new markets without big spots or trade fairs.

Europages is Europe's leading B2B platform for companies to find new suppliers and business partners. Your company creates a multilingual business profile on the platform to showcase your offer. When foreign buyers are looking for products or services like yours, the platform automatically exposes you in their language - without intermediaries. You receive enquiries directly to your email or user account.

The service is suitable for all export-oriented companies - from small manufacturers, wholesalers and to large suppliers - who want to increase their visibility and sales in foreign markets. If you want to reach new B2B customers abroad and expand your business across borders, this platform is the right choice. Used by more than 2 million businesses across Europe, it's effective whatever your industry or company size.

The platform gives you visibility in more than 36 European markets at the same time - in 21 languages. This greatly increases your chances of being found by importers, distributors or B2B end customers. Many companies report that they have already received relevant enquiries and closed deals abroad in the first few months. It is one of the fastest ways to test or strengthen your export performance without high costs.

Yes. B2B platforms are also an ideal opportunity for micro and small businesses that do not have their own representative offices abroad but would still like to present themselves to international buyers. Packages are available to suit different scales, and you can build a professional presence without a large financial investment in marketing or trade fairs.

Alibaba.com is the largest global B2B platform with more than 26 million active buyers. Like Europages, a strategic partner, allows you to optionally publish your profile on Alibaba - but your offer is only visible to European buyers. This strengthens your presence in two strong channels within the EU - Europages as a central B2B search engine and Alibaba as an international marketplace. Management is done from one dashboard - simple, transparent and without any extra work.

 If you want to expand your sales abroad or attract new customers, the answer is almost always yes. The service is used by small producers, family businesses and medium-sized exporters alike. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an experienced exporter - the content is tailored to your objectives. All that matters is that you have a product or service that foreign markets might be interested in. Our role is to make sure those markets notice you. That's why this service is one of the most effective ways to increase your export presence.

With advertising like Google Ads, you pay per click and reach a wide audience. Europages, on the other hand, only shows you to people who are actively looking for your products or services. These are business customers who are ready to buy. Instead of paying per click, you pay a fixed subscription fee and are visible to the right audience all the time. That means more relevant enquiries - without wasting budget on untargeted clicks.

The biggest advantage is high visibility with business buyers - those who are looking for exactly what you offer at any given moment. In addition, your offer is translated into several languages and exposed to markets that are difficult for you to cover on your own. Having a presence on both platforms greatly increases your international exposure in the business world. All this without major marketing investments or a multilingual website. You receive enquiries directly, without intermediaries. The two platforms act as your permanent digital trade fair - no travel and no costs.

WLW (Wer liefert was) is the leading B2B platform for the German-speaking markets of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region). Currently, the platform is only available to companies with a registered business address in the DACH region. If your company is not registered in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, publication is unfortunately not possible. We recommend the Europages platform, which targets the entire European market, including the DACH region.

Yes. Europages offers free enrolment where you can create a basic profile and test the platform. You can add your own content, such as a company description, contact details and some products. However, it is important to note that the free version is limited in terms of visibility in foreign markets and does not include advanced features. To register, use this Link. 

No. Europages automatically translates your profile and products into 21 European languages - at no extra work and no extra cost. You produce the content in one language, the platform does the rest. Translations are included in all subscription packages.

Customers prefer to read offers in their own language, as this gives them more confidence. When your presentation is localised, the likelihood of a click and enquiry increases. Having a presence in multiple languages also means higher search engine rankings in each country - which increases visibility and sales potential.

These are exclusively business users - buyers, distributors, manufacturers, retailers. These are the people who are looking for new suppliers, placing orders or entering into long-term partnerships. Many have budgets and decision-making powers. When they send an enquiry, it is usually with serious intent, not just to gather information. There are thousands of such opportunities every month. With a good presentation and a quick response, you can get to a concrete deal quickly.

Yes. There are plenty of verified suppliers for almost every product on these platforms. You can search by industry, region, filter by country or by type of production. This is a great solution if you are looking for raw materials, packaging or other products for your own production. Send your enquiry directly and arrange a quotation. No trade fairs and no agents.

First, let's define your objectives and prepare basic information about your company. Then GeoSplet sets up your Europages profile and takes care of content, images, products and keywords. Once the profile is active, your offer is automatically transferred to the Alibaba platform. The whole process can be arranged within a few days. And you're in control - and supported throughout the entire collaboration.

You can add products manually or import them via an Excel template, PDF catalogue, website or online shop. The platform provides AI tools to automatically capture content from your site or brochures. You can publish up to 500 products, each with a description, images, keywords, technical data, video content and backlinks.

Not necessarily - most companies prefer to leave that part to us. GeoSplet helps you structure your content and products, then we upload them for you. Even when importing from PDFs, Excel or your website, we make sure everything is presented correctly. And you can edit changes and additions yourself later - the system is clear and easy to use.

All messages and enquiries are sent to your dashboard. There you can reply and filter your contacts. You also receive notifications by email so you don't miss anything.

Yes. The packages allow for priority exposure by region - e.g. Western Europe, Balkans, Scandinavia. Products in these regions get higher search engine rankings. This gets you more impressions and clicks right where you want them. Together, we choose the best combination for your export destination.

Of course. You always have access to your profile - for corrections, additions, new products. We'll help you with editing and content suggestions as needed. The system is simple and transparent.

Verified is a special trust mark given to companies with an active Europages paid plan. Such profiles have priority visibility - they rank higher in search results, receive more clicks and, as a result, more enquiries. Customers recognise Verified profiles as reliable and serious suppliers, which increases the likelihood of cooperation. In addition, you get additional promotion opportunities and enhanced profile features. You get Verified status automatically when you upgrade from the free to the paid version.
