As you have specifically asked me how I got imto multilingual SEO, I'll answer that - but I'll also consider how to do that today because it won't be the same answer!

I became interested in languages at around age 3 because my father was working for an Italian company and Italian boss. I took every opportunity to learn everything I could about languages and it would have been the most natural thing for me to study a languages degree - but I was advised to study something more useful and applied to the Universities for law. It was only at the last minute I switched back to languages because I decided to follow what I was interested in regardless of the advice. Best thing I ever did and I ended up studying French. German and Russian.

After university I became a journalist, then moved into international advertising before becoming director of a European public relations network. Then I moved into corporate marketing and launched a multilingual website (1996) before looking for someone to promote it - couldn't find anyone so a web design friemd launched Web Certain which I later bought into - the rest is history.

To get into multilingual SEO today (with an agency like ours), you should have a good level of education, good English, ideally another language, an aptitude for things internet, an ability to work as part of a team and a positive attitude.

I hope that helps?
