Neil Patel has published an article featuring useful international PPC strategies and tips.

He says, “Successful international PPC campaigns tailor keywords, audience targeting, ad copy, visuals, and landing pages to the specific market.

Here’s why:

  • Search behavior varies by region: People in different countries use different search terms and structures. A keyword that converts well in English may have a completely different intent when translated.
  • Competition levels fluctuate: Cost-per-click (CPC) rates fluctuate by region. A $5 CPC in the U.S. could cost $1 USD in India or $10 USD in Switzerland. Understanding these differences helps with budget allocation.
  • Popular ad platforms differ: Google dominates in many regions, but markets like China and Russia use Baidu and Yandex instead. Running ads on the right platform is critical.”
