Firstly you do keyword research in English, Dutch,and French.
Finished the necessary keyword research in English, Dutch, and French, next step is to choose the domain structure. You can do this is two ways: 1) separate country-specific domains, 2) sub-domains.

If you are targeting people in the UK, the Netherlands and France, then first method is you to set up a website targeted at a specific country audience. This makes it easier to get ranking in search engine results in that country. However, if you are targeting all English, Dutch and French speakers in the world, then you can use sub-domains.

I agree with the post above. One of the struggles will be to represent all three languages in a single website. You an totally do it just make sure that you are not relying on google translate to make the changes for you. The text needs to be indexed by google so it must be set somewhere on your website.

The second thing I would suggest is to make sure that you are operating in the correct google. Google.com (though it would disagree) is mostly for English, particularly American English based websites. Google.au is what Australians use, so you can see there is a difference.

Do your competitive research based off this fact. Dont try and find your google.com competitors, try and find your countries google competitors. Run a link diagnoses using something like open site explorer and see what your competitors Are doing for their link building.

If you copy exactly what they are doing you should start to move up. To be able to break onto the front page and eventually beat your competition you have to get creative. Start out by doing what they do until you start seeing trends and you can then make your own moves to out rank them. Remember, you don't have to beat google, you just have to beat your competition.
