    Hi -
    I'm trying to SEO a .com travel relatated site to achieve good positions in Google.co.uk. They have good positions in Google.com - but most are lousy with Google.co.uk - E.g. One of their primary keyphrases is returning the relevant landing page at #18 from Google.com but at #237 from .co.uk and for another that includes the abbreviation 'UK' they are at #18 from Google.com and at #494 from Google.co.uk.

    The steps taken so far include:
    1. Geo target set to UK in webmaster tools
    2. Submitted main office address to Google Maps
    3. Reconsideration request submitted to Google with details of issue
    4. Site content reviewed and UK indicators clearly used throughout
    5. Backlinks established with UK in anchor text
    6. Site submitted to numerous UK directories
    7. Blog posts and press-releases published with clear UK references

    If anyone can suggest further actions that may contribute towards the achieving the desired result I'd love greatly appreciate your suggestions -

    Many Thanks
