- 3 options for structuring international website content
- How to direct visitors to the right version for their language / country

By İlayda Çağlayan on 12/6/2023
I only found some tools useful. Information on Search console and analytics are not up-to-date.
By Jackie Grant on 10/24/2023
Simple to understand and very informative.

I like the teacher. She makes the course easy to follow and has really invested in it.If the sound had been good on all videos, and added manual subtitles, she would have received 4 stars.Had she listed "schema mark-up", Geotags and Google My Business, she would have received 4.5 stars.I will definitely buy another course. Thanks for a job well done
