i booked a domain for my local market in my country for a hosting company, the domain is Primary.co.xx and will be marketed as Primary Hosting Solutions or Primary Solutions. i know seo and this can be ranked first page for local market keywords, but the volume is not high, only about 6,000 searches max for any kind of keyword phrase that includes the word hosting, and only 1k for 'website hosting' keyword alone. so per my estimations i could be getting max of 1k - 1.5k visits a month from first possition on Google (not first page - first possition). so question is, do you think it's worth it.
When I started my SEO efforts I optimized local (Czech) websites. It was pretty easy to get first position in Google and second big local search engine but it is small market. The earnings was above average in my country but it was limited. So I decided to go to the international market. I was much more harder but if you can work a few months will small profit to earn really good money you should go this way.
Yes it worth it. But why don't you expand it to international market? It will earn you more money coz the market size is bigger than your local market.
Give some extra features so that you will get more advertising. May be set a live chat. I have seen that most of the companies won't have one. IT may keep your position up against your competetors.
