As search marketing rapidly evolves, organisations are increasingly aware that opportunities exist not only within their normal domestic markets, but also globally. Equally, many existing global businesses are aware that they need to increase their performance across local search engines and networks in order to reach a wider audience. 

However, running successful SEO and PPC campaigns internationally, requires a unique understanding of: the culture and language of global audiences, the diversity of search behaviour across regions, and the technical challenges in order to perform across the key search engines.

This International search engine marketing course aims to teach delegates the core issues at stake when running multilingual and international SEM campaigns. It will help delegates plan their global search marketing strategy and well as highlighting implementation issues when running campaigns or managing teams.
