Hey, I have a question and i cant find the answer by myself. Let's say I have a site with romanian as primary and only language. The domain is .com and it is hosted on a US server. For some of my keywords I have good serp's on google.com however for the same keywords i can't seem to find my site anywhere on google.ro My question is: does the location of the server where the site is hosted can cause serp problems on google.ro ? Thanks!
Yes it has a slight effect but your domain extension plays the biggest part. If you had a .ro domain you would rank alot better on Google Romania search.
The hosting server matters a lot in the serps, google will give more importance to a domain.ro in google.ro search! but then perhaps if you get some .ro backlinks on your category, your Serp's can improve a lot
Yes, move it to Romania, i know that is better to have the host ip in Romania for Regional Google. Bafta
If you can, move it to a .ro domain (301 from .com) and switch to a local server. Having a local server will also make it a better experience for your visitors because of faster response time.
