US or UK spelling to rank higher?
5
I live in the UK and about 50% of my traffic comes from the uk. I found a high ranking keyword, however, the word has american spelling. The English equivalent doesn't rank as high.
Should I go for the UK spelling which goes with my site or the US spelling which ranks higher?
Thanks!

I would use both Hollie.
I'm in the UK as well and I always use both spellings throughout my articles.
The search engines know there will be different spellings of words and take all variations into consideration for ranking purposes so use both and its a win win for you.

I would use both in the same article... but I also wonder coz anyway you have to choose the page language if that would affect or not the ranking...
Thanks, I think I'll do that.
I imagine the page language does affect the ranking because most of my audience is from the UK.
I believe between the lines, google figure out your writing is UK-EN and gives more importance...
SEO wise, google chooses automatically 1 language for each post and page in your website!
When auditting the website, I have for example .. 200 words ranking in google - US and i have very much less for UK like 15, the same happens to Australia.
For sure it is not TOPIC-related but the language I believe!
