And of course you read this sorry I had to put a catchy title because IF YOU DONT READ THIS, you will miss out! Believe me!
Let me start with a story of my experience and then we will get into what you can do about it. We only have a few clients that are located IN CANADA, sell only in the Canadian market and we do SEO for them.
As you know we have a very powerful blog network that we utilize to create one way back links to our clients. We use the blog network to review the website which in return create back links.
Now my first ranking results that we did for a Canadian client earlier this year, I thought it was a coincidence. We did one month of SEO for two keywords, and ..
Two weeks later, we ranked those two keywords on the first page, top 5 in Google.ca
Two months later, the keywords I didnt even try to rank ranked in top 5 in Google.ca
Four months later, two dozen keywords we didnt even try to rank ranked in top 5. The two we did rank are in top 2 in Google.ca
I thought this was just luck, and this would not be a typical result.
Then we had the second client that we started the SEO for in 2 weeks I was able to rank them for a keyword that has 40 MILLION competitors, and would take me 7-12 months to rank in Google.com. It was ranked in 2 weeks in top 3 on Google.ca!
I was like this cant be real, this is impossible. This keyword got 135,000 SEARCHES PER MONTH! and I got it to top 3 in 2 weeks?
Now keep in mind we keep improving our SEO exposure every month. So the third client that came in recently, we ranked him for 2 keywords that has a competition of 60 MILLION, in 5 days! Trust me it is a COMPETITIVE KEYWORD.
WHY DO THIS HAPPEN?
I started thinking about why does this happen? and it started to make a lot of sense. US is the most competitive SEO industry in the world. All the other countries? Not even close. Doing SEO in other countries is like doing SEO in US back in the year 1997.
To avoid people spamming, Google made it that you cant rank in all countries. Google webmasters tools allows you to only define ONE COUNTRY per WEBSITE.
Most people target US and all their SEO efforts are concentrated in the US. If you are able to cater to Canada instead of US, you just got yourself a one way ticket to FAST SEO RANKING.
WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY HERE?
Again imagine you are in the year 1997! and you just started a website with the knowledge that you have and with a software such as Shopping Cart Elite. The opportunity here is if you target ranking your website in Google.ca or any other country for that matter. You actually have a GOOD, SOLID chance to truly dominate your niche. You even have a chance with enough marketing budget to become the next leader in your industry. We are talking about tens of thousands of dollars in FREE ORGANIC TRAFFIC DAILY!
JUMP ON IT?
1. Not making Money in US? - GO CANADA. Literally, switch all your efforts to sell in Canada as your primary CORE GOAL and US will become secondary. Even without our SEO you will have an easier time. With our SEO, you will rank in a weeks. Make deals with Canadian suppliers and offer incentives to Canadian customers, such as free shipping in Canada.
2. ARE YOU IN CANADA? - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? I wont say anymore START YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS NOW .. and HAVE US DO YOUR SEO!
3. ARE YOU SUCCESSFULLY DOING BUSINESS IN US and NOT CANADA? I am not sure if you can start a sub domain and tell Google that will be for Canadian domain (I havent tried it) if not you can always get a new domain and start targeting your ranking in Google.ca
