SEO tips – Geo targeting

SEO tips – Geo targeting

Your website address is an indication of the geographic market place you target. A “.com” is generic and as such it is harder to position the website for a specific geography. A “.co.uk” is specific and Google will understand that the website is specifically targeted at the UK. In the same way a “.eu” would work for Europe.

The other consideration is where your website is hosted. If it is hosted in the USA, for example, Google will assume that is targeted at the US market.

Using Google webmaster tools you can specify the “geo target” but selecting an appropriate URL and hosting your website in the appropriate country helps.

Of course we take care all of this as part of the Winning Inch SEO service.

    Thanks,

    Website submission should be restricted to new websites. It is only effective the first time. Additional submissions are ignored by Google.

    Google instant means a useful instrument for the average user. From a seo perspective, I guess it means a new effort. I would bet that the major search engines will integrate a similar function
