Description
Search engine optimisation needn’t be a mystery to exporters – the main methodologies that drive rankings, traffic and enquiries are well established but there are some nuances to consider.
This is especially the case with Google updating its algorithm more frequently. With over 8.5 billion searches per day on Google alone, reliance on search is still increasing across all sectors.
Globally, a third of customers discover new brands and suppliers using search engines, demonstrating the importance of making sure your brand is at the top of the list when customers are browsing on search engines. Search Engine Optimisation is more powerful than Social Media, TV, and print advertising, for yielding the visibility businesses need to grow their brand, so maximising the SEO potential of your website should be at the top of your to-do list.
In this session, Martin will outline the most cost-effective SEO methods, outline the key pitfalls to avoid and bring the audience up to speed on what we know (and don’t know) about how Google is currently evaluating sites – all with a focus on international expansion and export growth.”
