    We are currently dominant on Google.nl (The Netherlands) for our chosen keywords.

    We would like to spend time optimizing for Google.be (neighbouring Belgium)

    Anyone any tips on the best way to go about this considering our site is a .nl site and hosted in The Netherlands.

    Many Thanks
    Linda

    If you target in Netherlands, try the following things.

    1) Host your site in netherland server.
    2) If possible take a country level domain (.nl) for your site.
    3) submitt your site in netherland classified sites and local sites.
    4) build some good backlinks from sites, which hosted in netherland and from .nl domains.
    5) Submit your site in google local map.

    Hope it will help you. :)

    hey Linda, im from the Netherlands aswell.

    Try to get in contact with related site owners/business who have a .be domain, ask them if they would like to trade links or if they are interested in selling one to you.

    if you need some more help send me a PM (in dutch :))
