This is our 2nd episode about SEO Strategy and joining me is friend of the program, SEO Strategist and Advisor of Searchmetrics, Jordan Koene. Yesterday, we we’re talking about if companies should prioritize SEO in their marketing mix and we said, basically the answer is it depends. Early stage companies, it really depends what your business model is, B2B SaaS companies that have long sales cycles need lots of content. Think about SEO from day one, ecommerce companies that are impulse purchases, maybe you can rely on your performance marketing to figure out your product market fit. When you start getting in growth stage companies, the answer is yes. You probably should start thinking about how to lower your cost per acquisition and you should be relying on content marketing and SEO. Today, we're going to talk a little bit about whether enterprise brands need to prioritize SEO. Show Notes

Today we're rebroadcasting the second part of our conversation with Zeph Snapp, when Zeph discussed the strategies for expansion into Latin America -- one of the most rapidly growing markets in the world. Learn about the differences between the countries that make up Latin America and how to maximize your SEO potential. How do you turn lack of consumer and technical sophistication into opportunities? Why is Latin America leap frogging over desktop computers, laptops, and tablets, and going straight to cell phones, and how should SEOs respond? What is the language strategy for reaching the Spanish-speaking market in the US? In what situations should you decide to not localize at the specific-country level? How can you ensure your audience feels like their content is authentic and written for them, and what are the cost-benefit considerations?

Today we're rebroadcasting our previous conversation with Zeph Snapp when we reviewed the important content localization strategies for going global. An expert in “transcreation” and the intersection of language, culture and emotion, Zach goes in-depth on all the considerations for determining your international content strategy. Why do marketing and sales materials benefit from transcreation? How does a style guide help for defining brand voice, tone, and the key phrases to use and to avoid? What are the best strategies for translation when you're targeting a worldwide audience and country agnostic? What steps do you take when you're creating unique content for a specific market and you must address the underlying purpose of the original piece of content?
