US or UK spelling to rank higher?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

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!
