When setting up a website for multiple countries it can often lead to dilemmas as to how to approach the subject when incorporating Search Engine Optimization (SEO) into the mix. Multiple questions arise:

1. Where should I host my website?
2. Should I invest in a country specific domain name?
3. How can I build website visibility within each individual country?
4. How do I set my intended market specific to each country?
5. What differences make a difference when search engines determine which country my website is intended for?
6. How do I ensure localization?
