For best outreach results, you need an audience – social media = likes/shares/retweets, but rarely links
![Page 25: 4 sem camp-content_marketing](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5450196faf7959b77a8b925d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
@KevGibbo
How can you apply this across Europe?

A one-fits all approach just doesn’t work – you need local expertise
![Page 29: 4 sem camp-content_marketing](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5450196faf7959b77a8b925d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
But without centralisation it looks like this!

Centralised Strategy + Local Knowledge = Best International SEO Success

Don’t wait – Algorithm changes often happen in English first, so use this to your advantage to be ahead of the game

It’s all relative - many languages/countries have very limited geographic reach

Low domain authority in smaller markets isn’t unusual, tailor content specifically to get more attention
![Page 35: 4 sem camp-content_marketing](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5450196faf7959b77a8b925d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Outreach is much easier once you’ve built up personal relationships
![Page 37: 4 sem camp-content_marketing](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5450196faf7959b77a8b925d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Timing is important – it all needs to line-up to avoid cross-over

@KevGibbo
• Hobby bloggers or webmasters of non-commercial websites can be sceptical of outreach requests
• Good opportunities when targeting other German speaking countries such as Austria and Switzerland
• Target just a few websites and personally address them, explaining the benefit to their site to share your link
• Content/emails must be written by a native speaker• German people are quite straight forward – just tell them
what you want!

• Yandex has market share – and traditional tactics can still work here, but build carefully, focusing on natural quality links if you can.
• We’ve found Russian web users are often a young audience, take this into account when creating content for them.
• Use native speakers for content and best outreach success.

• Scandinavia has different characteristics, however one theme runs through all of them; there is very limited resource and audience compared with other markets.
• While most users are fluent in English, the personal angle & native language approach still works better
• Put more focus on the leading authority publications• Lots of consumer protection laws around sending
unsolicited emails, personal relationships work better

• When approaching French speaking webmasters, only speak in French. Make sure your grammar is correct.
• Co-branded content partnerships work much better than link exchanges for content – make it win, win!

@KevGibbo
• Italian market is very small, which means you can need to measure quality relative to the individual market
• Even Italian national media websites often have very average domain authority scores.
