Search Marketing - International / Multilingual (SEO) June 23, 2010

Over 70% of internet users do not have English as a first language and they collectively represent over 900 million users who have hugely different search behaviours to us.
If your business is currently global or is thinking of going global, this course will show the opportunities that lie in global search marketing and how best to approach each market that is covered. Multilingual SEO offers the chance to gain competitive advantage and to gain the all important upper hand.
In many industries e.g Travel, international internet users now spend more online than in the UK and these numbers are growing at a much quicker rate than here.
Multilingual SEO is about understanding that the majority of your potential clients just don’t know about you or if they do are easily put-off by English only websites that aren’t optimised for international users and in terms of usability and conversion are way below the standard that they would expect.
