  9. Get Conversion Rate Numbers Across Geographies. If they differ, you may not be speaking everyone’s language.

  10. Usability Testing in Target Countries May Be Worthwhile Steve Krug’s “Rocket Surgery Made Easy” is a top notch book on how to conduct usability testing without spending a fortune.

  11. Content + Participation = Branding Viral content targeted at each country; interviews, PR, media, guest posts on popular sites in those geos; in-person speaking at events/seminars will all help
