Hi I have a problem. I am opening a global webstore that will be translated into many languages. I will be selling local products and will therefore have a different website for each country. Now some countries speak the same language and those countries will be on the same domain. For example USA, UK and Australia. I will put it in directories: domain.com/USA, domain.com/UK, domain.com/Australia. Now here is my problem. How can I tell Google and other SE that each directory is for a different country? I mean I don't mind if someone from UK comes to USA shop, but it doesn't make sense and I would much rather make UK version appear in SERP if he or she is from UK. I know I can set geotargeting in webmastertools for domains. Is there a similar solution for directories? Thank you for your help. BR, Matt
I just found out, that I can add one domain more than once through google webmaster tools. so I added one profile for domain.com/uk, another profile for domain.com/usa,... Then I was able to set geotargeting for each of this profiles. Can anyone confirm that this is ok? Will Google understand what I am trying to do there or is this just a "bug" and webmaster tools are not supposed to be used that way?
i don't have sufficient knowledge about this, but i will do homework for this, hope below site can help you, www.stateofsearch.com/geotargeting-–-tlds-sub-folders-sub-domains-guest-post/
