How to SEO a website for country based Google Search Engine

11 years ago

Local directory submission can do the trick here. List the business at google places. Find out local directories based on UK and submit the business at those directories. Post at craigslist, backpage. Build some backlinks at co.uk sites. I think those will be very useful to rank your site within Google UK.

Thanks

Webmastereye,

Dalegolden has some good suggestions. Definitely do the Google places if you have a local presence for a business. Also, building links from .uk sites is also a plus and will help the site appear relevant for that region.

One of the most powerful things you can do is buy a .co.uk domain name. Updates to Google’s algorithm like the Vencie update work harder to deliver relevant local results to searchers so this is important.

Also, there are some details of your post that aren’t really clear. You mention building backlinks for some keywords. Do you mean make links with those words as anchor text? If so, that would help but you should also be optimizing pages for those words. You should optimize one page for each keyword and its variants.

Here is some good info on on-site best practices,

I have analyzed your keywords. It shows moderate competition in UK. Build backlinks from UK sites with low OBL. Also submit your site to google places and get some good review from your customers. I hope this help.

Yes, you can optimize your keyword for Google.co.uk for this you need to build links using those sites which are on co.uk extension and those sites which are in the same niche in UK.. UK Directories, Classified, Forums would also help a lot.

Kindly tell me what will be the strategy in order to accomplish it.

Thanks a lot

1. Hope you have a .co.uk domain
2. On Google webmaster tools, set target location = UK
3. Try to get backlinks from other .co.uk domains - But this is not essential

Usual other practices of SEO (On-page, Off-page) should be followed to get success..

If you are talking about keyword to target - please do a keyword research, using Google external tool - That will help you to get nice keywords that has more searches in UK.

If you are talking about keywords that to link in backlinks - Don't forget anchor over-optimization may put you in trouble, so vary keywords/text that you link...

Thanks

Local directory submission can help. Also build backlinks at co.uk sites. This will help I think.

If your website is a .co.uk website then you do not need put to add "UK" with every keyword. If not I will suggest you to register a co.uk website and run UK business there. You can have country specific websites if your audience are in different countries.

I got great success with Net Lawman. Net Lawman sells legal agreements at different countries. Similar looking websites but with country specific touches.
