      Hellooooo the Moz community ! (#superexcited, # firstpost)

      Here's my problem.

      I'm working for a client specialised in Corporate Relocation to London for French families.

      (I'm reworking the entire site from the ground up, so I can manoeuvre pretty easily)

      The thing is, these families will either be :

      • Searching on Google FR but mostly in English (French as well)
      • Searching on Google UK but mostly in French ! (and of course, English as well)

      To be honest, I'm really not sure what strategy I should go with.

      Should I just target each local market in its native language and google will pick up the right language if people are searching in the "opposite" language ?

      I'd love some tips to help get me started.

      Sadly, I don't have a lot of data yet. (Client didn't even have tracking up on their site before I came in). So far here's what I got (on very small number of visitors):

      Location: 50+% from UK / 20+% from France.
      Language : 60+% En / 35+% Fr

      Thank you.

      Tristan

          • 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?
