How Do I Rank In The Search Engine For A Particular Country?

Alan Cheng · 11-28-2008, 01:10 AM

I've been thinking about this after being asked by a client and I don't have the foggiest idea.

Let's say I have a website that I only want to show up in Germany's search engines, can I do that? I have thought about moving the website to one of the country's local web hosting company. Would this help?

Thanks.

This will definitely help.
Also using country based domain name (.ru, .cn, .ca...) will help as well.

You can try creating articles that are always search on that particular country.

Some steps you need to do..

advertise locally
post in local blogs
submit in local directories
join and discuss with local forums

Yes,that would most definately help,also try buying a .de domain extension.
If you allready have a domain that not de then you can make a .de file on your directory

say path: Public_html/your website/De(Your .de file)

this helps regional spider to catch it well.

You can also try to limit Google's Indexing of your site by asking Google to target your website Particularly to a specific country
This can be done easily via Google Webmaster Tools
you need to have a Google Account though,to sign up for Webmaster's
however you can create a specific webmasters a/c as well.

Hop this helps.

host in that country, this is something you have to check carefully. I know many Australian hosting companies use US servers.

having a country based url (.com.au) for australia is the other step.

Links from sites hosted in that country may help, no evidence to back that up as yet.

HI, Some really great advice,

I guess the easy way for me would be to take on a jv partner from another country, have the jv hosted on their server, and there you go.

Ranking in the country of your choice.

it actually very easy, go to the websmaster tool with your client google account . then choose the domain you want to configure for and click on settings, then choose the drop menu on the geographic location. once you choose your options click on save and that's it. it doesn't have to be a local domain as far as I know, since a dot .com domain can come from anywhere else around the world that includes america so in theory, this is how you can rank a site in a local domain;

i actually had a video how my blog sometimes ago but since google changes its webmaster tool configuration, the instruction does change however you may still have a look at How Do You Rank Your Site in Google Local Domain?

hopes that help

Google seem to be taking more notice of websites that use Geo Meta tags these days.

Geo Meta tags allows a webmaster to define the location that the website is targeting. From my testing, it seems to work well for local business search.

Geo Meta tag example.

<META NAME="geo.position" CONTENT="-34.55;138.36">
<META NAME="geo.placename" CONTENT="Adelaide, South Australia">
<META NAME="geo.region" CONTENT="AU-SA">

Get links from websites that have the TLD of the country you are trying to rank in.
