International Digital Marketing
• Global SEO involves targeting customers internationally
via the many global search engines.
• Create Copy in Multiple Languages
• Consideration of Regional Dialects & Colloquialisms
• Where a lot of companies fall short is not developing a
strong localisation strategy in their global SEO
practices.
• The differences between countries are far greater than
only the language, Baidu in China for eg
SEO Localisation
• Localisation isn’t simply translation.
• Your offers have to compel both search
engines and human beings.
• Search managers must develop cohesive
strategies that:
1. Localise Sites and
2. Localise SEO campaigns
.. In order to meet market expectations and
local search algorithms more effectively.
Translation Is Important!
A Leading Automobile Company

 Translation: “Every car has a high quality corpse” in Belgium
A Fizzy Beverage Brand
 Original: “Turn it loose“
 Translation: “Suffer from diarrhea” in Spanish

Martijn Bertisen,
Industry Head,
Google UK's Retail
Vertical

• Top Apparel Retailers in the UK
receive just shy of 70% of their
traffic from Abroad
• Overseas UK online sales contribute
approx 13% of total online sales
• Highly recommends translation of
website content into local language
to increase conversions
Keyword Selection
• Keyword selection is the secret to success. It
may sound easy to localise by simply translating
what has worked in one language.
• However, translation is not localisation. That
approach eliminates the apparent and subtle
differences between international markets.
• Nuances among global, regional, and even local
languages may differ.
• Content is still king and the lifeblood of any International Digital
Marketing Google SEO campaign.
• Digital content should be localised to provide seam-less transition
from search to landing page to site architecture.
• Paid or organic, search engine results page (SERP) localisation —
including keywords, ad copy, title, and meta description — should be
consistent with other digital assets.
• Site searches should be localised as well. In addition, don’t forget to
update each localised sitemap appropriately.
