Capital focus

SEO in Seoul

Seoul is the capital and the centre of Korean business, finance, technology, entertainment and government, with about half the population living in the wider metro area. Searches are local by district such as Gangnam, Hongdae or Yeouido, and local portals and map apps matter as much as Google. Competition is intense in beauty, medical, education and e-commerce.

Korean. A strong local search portal serves many searches next to Google, so Korean sites should be set up for both.
