Hello warriors,

I have an ecommerce in spanish and I want to open market to UK or DU, I have the keywords that I'll work to work, but I have a question about SEO.

I'm using a multistore with prestashop sharing the stock, one domain is in spanish and the other one in english, its like 2 ecommerces paralel but just sharing the stock.

I have todo anything special like advise to Google by any way from webmaster tools or something?

Can someone give me some tip about what is the best way to rank and won´t be penalize by Google?

Cheers!

    I'm not sure why you're expecting to be penalized for running a completely normal website.

    So you've got co.uk and .es domains already? That's a good start because Google automatically targets those to the correct countries. See that the language codes on your site are also right, and check that the Webmaster Tools reports all of these correctly.

    Ranking? Well, that's much harder. It's impossible to say anything about that without at least knowing your niche/industry and some basics about your products.

    What's your excuse?

      Hello Nettiapina!

      Thanks for your fast answer.

      You cleaned me some questions. I just bought the domains .com, not .es and .co.uk. It will work on others countries?

      I read and I have to configure the rel="alternate" and hreflang="x" as well.

      My niche/industry is piercings, jewellery..

      Thanks again

        It should. That extension is generic according to Google. But you should see that the settings are correct in Webmaster Tools and maybe even explicitly set the targeting from there.
