- 2. Why International SEO? • Search results differ in each country • Search engines algorithms are getting smarter. But often don’t know that your content should be targeted at a specific territory • You need to explicitly guide crawlers to your country/language specific content if you want it to be indexed in more than one region
- 3. Major Considerations • Localisation is essential - products/services in other languages or countries won’t be searched necessarily with the exact same “translated” phrases • Search volumes & traffic in other languages or countries will be different • Google isn’t king in some territories
