Why is different the difficulty of a keyword in Google Spain and Google mexico?

In your opinion, Which are the main reasons of this difference?

Thanks Mat!
I agree in most of your arguments.
That's true there are a lot of differences between the dialectics used in Mexico and Spain.

Hard to say without knowing the keywords and probably also better knowing the two markets. However I can hazard at a few of the factors that might be at play.
Difference in competition
The most obvious possibility is that there is a real difference in business competition. The markets are different, so there will be differences in the supply/demand of various products and services as well as geographic terms. Let me pull a example from my big bag of national stereotypes: I would imagine that the competition for terms around tequila would be higher in Mexico than Spain.
Difference in dialect
Despite the common language the phrases used can differ. I've been doing a tiny bit of work for the Brazilian market and we've noticed a number of differences in the terms used by Brazilian Portuguese speakers and Europeans from Portgugal. My impression is that Spanish can vary even more greatly.
Sample Size
A less obvious factor is sample size. All of these tools rely on samples of data. The more niche your query the less accurate they become. Spain has a population of around 47million, mexico 112 million. That could affect the accuracy of data if the terms you are using are quite specific.

Competitor Ranks Top Keywords Without Backlinks
One of my competitors is ranking very well for many different competitive keywords (1k+ searches per month). I'm trying to figure out how in the world he is ranking so well. I've signed up for MozPro and looked at his back-links. He has 1 branded site-wide back-link from a decent blog. He also has 1 contextual back-link from a decent blog. Other than these 2 back-links, the rest are garbage links unlikely to even count for anything (he has maybe 12 of these low quality back-links). My website on the other hand has more than 15 back-links from different (high quality) websites and does not rank anywhere near this competitor. This leads me to believe that either MozPro back-link reporting is inadequate or there is foul-play on the part of my competitor. As far as on-page SEO is considered, his website is far inferior. Therefore, I highly doubt this would play a role. What are some reasonable approaches I can take to better understand the cause of this discrepancy. Clearly the back-link reporting has not revealed any answers.

Image attatched... How is it possible to rank on Google Norway for spot nr.1 (page in English language) and spot nr.2 (page in Norwegian language) , when all you competitors have higher PA, DA and a lot more backlinks and better on-page optimization according to MOZ? Is there something I´m misunderstanding?

How to break into a serp dominated by large companies? (but low keyword difficulty)
I'm currently doing some keyword research, and on favourable keywords such as: "weekend breaks in lake district" (320 searches per month with 39% keyword difficulty), I see that all of the first page SERPS are from larger companies (last minute, centerparcs etc) How likely will it be that I can get on that first page, assuming I am focusing my page on that particular keyword. Sparse info I know, but I didn't want to spend hours going down a dead end street. Is it simply that these larger companies are in the top 10 because there are no specific pages targeting that keyword, or do I have little chance?

Keywords local and national
Hello everyone. I asked a similar question but still find myself a bit confused. I am a magician who is trying to improve my web presence. I found a list of keywords which I will list below. The results read from left to right the search results in the United States, and in Ohio ( where I am from). I found these results using google planner. Magician 14800 390 Magicians 5400 170 Corporate Magician 170 10 Comedy Magician 140 10 Here is my question. Lets use the word Magician as an example. I see that there are 390 results in Ohio for the search term Magician. Would I want to key the phrase "magician" or "Ohio Magician". How does google work with this? If I key just the word "magician" and someone in Ohio google searches for Ohio Magicians or something similar, will it detect their location and put me on there radar? When I key in " Ohio Magician" in the planner the results that come back are 0 or less than 10. I'm curious if google works on location and if I'm wasting my time keying in all of these cities that are showing no results. I began targeting "Cleveland Magician" "Columbus Magician" etc. Should I just stick with the main term Magician?
