      Hi everyone, I am working on a new project for a telecommunications company with its target audience in various countries around Europe and USA. They only have 1 website in English and don’t have content specific to different countries.

      Ineed to choose keywords for this project but I am finding it quite challenging as usually my keywords are localised. In this case I cannot restrict keywords to any particular country. At the same time I know that it would be extremely tough to rank for generic keywords. What do you suggest?

        Look at the competing firms in your industry in those geo regions and try to get a keyword inventory based on what they are doing. Hopefully you will see some overlap of these keywords (long-tails in this case would be best) for different firms and try to generate compelling content. This is at least a start.

        I hope this is what you are asking.

        • I am based in the UK. I want to appeal to a UK and US market. One of my keywords is 'generalised' which gets way more traffic in my keyword phrase when spelt with a z and not an s. What do I do?
