You can only select 1.

Which one do you plan on or think you might get the most traffic from?

Here some info from Google:

I believe you can set up GWMT accounts for sub folders and set the target location for each.

Probably more important is that you get the website associated with both locations via content and regional backlinks.

I dont think there is option to add more than one geographic country but i would say that you should not think that it can help you to get traffic from those targeted countries. The only way to get traffic from those country is to optimize your website locally.

You can do one thing... Although it might sound a little bit crazy but you can switch the geo targets after 6 months and see which one works better! Keep the one which you think is working better..

Sort of like doing A/B Testing Good Luck!

Thanks for suggestion. But this technique should work?
