The Business of Marketing
In the global language services industry, COVID-19 hit hard. We saw interpreting companies quickly switching gears to provide virtual remote interpreting. We saw just about every annual conference hop on the online conferencing bandwagan. And when it came to content marketing, many language services providers (LSPs) quickly pulled the plug. Truth is, we panicked. We felt the desire to instantly pause, take a deep breath, regroup, and figure out how to survive a very devestaging blow. But many companies are now realizing that marketing is maybe not as expendable as they thought, and if they’re not too careful, their competitors will take them by surprise.

SEO Keywords
SEO — Search Engine Optimization — can be defined as a set of strategies and actions that are taken to improve a website’s rank on any number of search engines. The main goal of SEO is to increase both the quantity and quality of traffic to a website. Typically, there are two types of SEO — organic and paid.
Internal Links – a MUST for SEO
Google. Bing. Baidu.Yandex. Ask.com. DuckDuckGo. Every search engine is busily ranking your online content but they all require links to navigate your site. Your content’s internal links connect your content to your own site’s previously published content with similar themes. Internal links also help search engines better understand your website’s content in general and its overall structure. Simply put, learning why, when, where, and how to add internal links will help you market for success by strengthening your site’s SEO, getting your site in front of your target audience.
