In case you missed it, here is a curated recap of the weekly #SEOchat on Twitter. SEO-arcade has you covered. Although these tweets are dense with information, they arrive and go so quickly that you may miss them. I’ve tried to put all of those comments and queries here. This week’s focus is on international SEO.
Montse Cano is an international digital strategy for marketing and product growth, as well as a food and chocolate enthusiast.

How would you define international SEO?

A1. It’s about optimising a fresh page that connects with potential visitors in other countries to gain more #seo traffic from your usual search engine traffic. #seochat

Do you use any checklists when optimising internationally?

A3. While I do have a list of aspects I look into, every situation is different, as they are target markets, verticals, cultures. So, I don´t go crazy with them. What about you? #SEOChat

How can local SEO be useful in a international strategy?

Local signals are key to have the right visibility in any market. Local SEO can help depending on the product niche, company, etc. For example, it might not be suitable for big pharma companies #SEOChat
