Does any one specify me the ways to Geo target my web site which is hosted in USA and need to target customers more from USA?. The main reason I forced to ask this is the same web site giving better results for my searching queries in other locations i mean out side USA. but for the same keywords I am bit back in USA. How to improve this?
Apart from hosting your site in the USA, which you already do. Set GEO targeting to the USA in webmaster tools. Add your US contact details (Contact address and phone number) to your site (maybe in small text at the bottom of the home page somewhere as well as your contact page). Make sure your spell checker is set to US English and double check the spelling. EG: airplane not aeroplane, aluminum not aluminium, mom not mum, color not colour etc etc. Cheers James
Here are few Tips to GEO Target: Host Website on a US Web Server. Set your GEO Target to USA in Webmaster Tools. Put your USA Contact Address on Each Page of Website, If Possible. Create a Local Business Listing for your site. Get Some Quality Back links from USA Hosted Websites. Promote your Website on Social Media's like Face book and Twitter.
If you are using google webamaster tool then its quite easy to geo target your country. Option 1: Just open your google webmaster tool, go to Site configuration -> Setting, here you will get geo target option to set the country you want to rank in. Option 2: Use meta tags on your home page between <head></head> tags. <head> <meta name="geo.country" content="Name of the country" /> <meta name="geo.region" content="US" /> </head>
hey! Follow some basic steps to get Geo based SERP: Your website content must be US based Put your address at the bottom of website Get back links from only US hosted website Analyze you competitors which is ranked on top in your location and work on their backlinks You should work on US server only, for this in Mozila Firefox == open google.com == in the address bar put code &gl=us then you see only sites which is hosted on US server. Thanks.....
These tags are "describe the position of the resource described on the page", they are not means the site/page is just for that position
Thanks for the information. I do apply the changes to my site, Can any one specify me where i will get a list of good directories(PR high) or the social media, bookmarking sites in USA?
