How Can I Let Google Know That My Website is UK Based?

Written by Will on January 28th, 2009

If you’ve got a website that is indexed in the US, but isn’t showing up in your home country of England, you’ve got a problem.  Well, assuming all of your traffic and target is in the UK.  Lucky for you, this is easy to fix.

Simply log in (or join) Google’s Webmaster Tools and update your settings to UK.  This will help you let Google know where your target audience is, and they’ll adjust their indexing accordingly.

You may also want to put your UK address on your website, and you could also work on getting some links from local UK-based websites that complement yours.

Lastly, for best results you should have a UK-based hosting company.
