I'm using Google.com.

 

Strangely, we don't seem to be featuring there on .co.uk - I don't know why... the site is hosted in a data server in London. Any ideas???!

and many more................

 

Well I have also some sites which are listed on top of the google on very competitive keywords

 

Was the site previously hosted in the USA? It can take a LONG time to update

Also, there's an option in Google webmaster tools to geographically target the site.

 

Hi Matt... no, they have always been UK based. (Well, if there was ever time when it wasn't, we are going back 8 or 9 years.) I think it used to be #1 on google.co.uk also.

 

I'm not seeing it at all on the top 10 in the UK, even doing a .com serach from a UK location doesn't bring it up for me.

If you're targeting a UK audience then you need to look at some localisation factors.

 

Thanks, Matt... would you mind expanding on that?

 

Are you sisgned up to Google Webmaster tools? There's a geo-location option on there, that should be your first port of call.

 

You should be using "uk hotels" not only "hotels"
