Presentation Outline:
Part 1: SEO Basics to Business Owners
Part 2: The Most Common Translation Mistakes that Affect SEO
Business owners and Translators in Japan, is your website attracting the right customers? Are you getting the sales volume you expect online? Unfortunately, in Japan, many websites are built on outdated technology, and even with upgrades, the sites still suffer from poor search engine optimization (SEO) practices. As a result, they do not attract customers, and frustration grows that “all this web stuff” does not work. Most businesses do not realize they are losing millions of yen or dollars every year.
Successful web marketing depends upon a proper SEO strategy. In their talk, Jeff Crawford & Shin Ohno of Zo Digital Japan will break down complex SEO topics into simple steps. Moreover, they will help you get your website optimized around what customers are looking for and rank you ahead of your competitors. They will also share the Top-10 SEO mistakes businesses in Japan make in 2019. Finally, they will discuss in detail about “the SEO Trap” that businesses make when translating their website, and what we can do to avoid it.
If you want more customers for your translation business, you won’t want to miss this event.
