2. Connect with the locals

• Start with new markets that are easier to expand into.

​Why: Your assets and processes will adapt more easily if you already have a lot in common with that market based on language, location or other key factors.

• Take cultural differences into account and localize your keywords, ads and landing pages.

​Why: Translating to a new language isn’t enough. Different cultures have different preferences. Use colors, technology preferences and selling propositions like a local would.

Get started: Use the Consumer Barometer tool to understand Internet usage in other cultures.

3. Set up your account for optimization across markets

• Start expansion with what’s already working in existing markets.

​Why: You can establish a stable baseline from which to evaluate performance.

• Customize goals for new markets.

​Why: User value, competition and costs of goods sold can all vary across locales, and those differences should be taken into account when identifying performance targets.

• Pick whatever account structure works for you, and commit to it across your campaigns. 

​Why: A consistent structure gives you a strong foundation for control and specialization. It also allows for clearer reporting, budgeting and account management.

• Establish consistent naming conventions in one language across campaigns.

​Why: Uniform naming allows for easier reporting and optimization.
