  • Hey there,

    There are a few methods to help (not guarantee) rankings in a particular country.

    • One is to have your site hosted in the country (very minimal help but helps all the same)
    • You can use Google Webmaster tools to Geo Target the site to the country
    • Probably one of the best ways to help boost your rankings in a particular country is to get inbound links from sites that are hosted there
    Hope that helps!
  • Analysis site backlinks, site hosting country and keywords. Try to include CA/Canada in prime keywords.
    Develop backlinks from canadian sites.
    Try to get listed in local listing in Canada and optimize it.

    All the best!
  • Setting the target country in GWT is a surprisingly easy way to sort it!
  • get links from canadian websites - or do some social bookmarking using a canadian based ip address

    • Jay, forgive me, I didn't get any kind of message that I had received a PM from you. AND, as I am late to discover, I can't PM anyone till I have 15 posts.

      Guess I better get on that, huh? LOL.

      Anyway, forgive me also for posting OT to this thread, but I really have no other way to contact you apparently.

      You asked me for a pdf a few days ago. Here's the link:

      *edit* OMG, I can't even post a link until I have 15 posts... for Pete's sake! I don't know what to do know. Guess I'll go post 4 more times, then I can Pm you.

      I get why these rules are in place, but still.. HOW ANNOYING!

  • Why not just run adwords there? You can geotarget adwords down to any area you want.
  • I agree, why not use PPC?
