The first thing you’ll want to take care of is the “Keywords” component.

It’s one thing to use a tool that fetches you keywords that people search for on the general google.com, and a whole different animal when you use a tool that seeks keywords only from your home country. Or from the country where you want to open up shop, or ship out products to.

You shouldn’t compete with everybody! On google.com you do, but on local targeted search engines, you have much less competition.

That doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park.

This is a powerful asset for you if:

a) you want to expand your business / marketing to other countries.

  1. This. This is awesome.

    I actually had no idea that your tool can be used for other countries. It was lame that this was not available, as I really needed this.

    Good job on doing this!

  2. Not bad!

    I’ll have to see this for myself. I have a fitness blog that I wanted to use for selling products to a few countries. This will come in handy

  3. This tool keeps getting better and better. i see that you’re pushing the 2015 version a lot.

    thx for the email. Sometimes they seem spammy, but sometimes I happy that I can learn of all the great new stuff you’re creating for us

  5. Most SEO tools will NOT show you the difference between what people search for in the United Kingdom versus what people search for in the United States. The same is true for something like Argentina vs. Spain.
