In November, the Google Webmaster Central Help Groups Team introduced its Dublin expansion office. It was fabulous news and it still is. Out of that office are working 12 bloggers blogging in 12 different languages. Well, it was 12. Now it’s 15.

The Dublin office of Google Webmaster Central is growing by adding three new languages to its blogging team:

• Hebrew
• Turkish
• Hungarian

This is great news because it means that Google is very interested in expanding its local and regional search options. It means that local search will include country-specific SEO initiatives at Google and that’s good all the way around. It also means that we can expect other search engines to follow, expanding the opportunities for local SEO in the regions the Google Webmaster Central Team serves.

Are you excited? I am.
