Getting new clients in another country is not an easy job. You are trying to enter the UK and U.S. where you'll find a lot of competition and already established companies. If you interested in crossing this boundary, you should do research on web services in other countries to really know your market, then work hard to get clients and give them a solid result. When it comes time to move into other counties, it will be more wise to already have a defined brand.

Well, I guess you need to first understand the habits of the people over UK and USA try reaching them out through LinkedIn or their emails. Also getting a native people involved over this would be a big plus.

Hi there, firstly we need to look into your target crowd in both UK & USA so that you better publicize your business. Secondly, we need to define your USPs (if any) and inform how you can better answer your prospective clients' problems. Some research is required to find out more about your competition in those areas. Highlight strong case studies that you've done for current clients and showcase how you can help your prospects with their needs. Since this is offshore marketing, is your web journey UX pleasant? How would a prospective client be able to find you easily and is your lead generation funnel robust enough to ensure that all enquiries are easily answered despite the time difference?

I would step back and great a business and marketing plan. Than figure out what country is the best to enter and get the most out of your marketing efforts and higher ROI. The UK and USA may be bad countries for you to enter in theirs too much competition and barriers to entry. Maybe Brazil or Australia might be better because they have less competitors and better concentration of your target market. Step back and evaluate your business and possible countries to enter.

Learn as much as you can about the target country: the culture, attitudes, spending habits, etc. Visit the country if possible, or at least consult with several people who live there. If you ignore this facet of marketing then your business will suffer.
