The information you give us will help us determine how your site appears<br \/>\n  in our country-specific search results, and also improves our search results for geographic<br \/>\n  queries.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  We currently only allow you to associate your site with a single country and location. If your<br \/>\n  site is relevant to an even more specific area, such as a particular state or region, you can tell<br \/>\n  us that. Or let us know if your site isn&#8217;t relevant to any particular geographic location at all.<br \/>\n  If no information is entered in Webmaster Tools, we&#8217;ll continue to make geographic associations<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/server-location-cross-linking-and-web-2-0-technology-thoughts\/\">largely based on the top-level domain (for example, .co.uk or .ca) and the IP of the webserver<\/a><br \/>\n  from which the context was served.\n<\/p>\n<p>For example, if we wanted to associate www.google.com with Hungary:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"geotargeting setting in webmaster tools\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-57991ff91cf6.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>But you don&#8217;t want www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools&#8221; associated with any country&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"geotargeting setting in webmaster tools\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-86a928ee94d0.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>\n  This feature is restricted for sites with a country code top level domain, as we&#8217;ll always<br \/>\n  associate that site with the country domain. (For example, google.ru will always be the version<br \/>\n  of Google associated with Russia.)\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"geotargeting setting in webmaster tools\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-77c9a25f4862.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>\n  Note that in the same way that Google may show your business address if you register your<br \/>\n  brick-and-mortar business with the<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/local\/add\/\" class=\"external-link\">Google Local Business Center<\/a>,<br \/>\n  we may show the information that you give us publicly.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  This feature was largely initiated by your feedback, so thanks for the great suggestion. Google is<br \/>\n  always committed towards helping more sites and users get better and more relevant results. This<br \/>\n  is a new step as we continue to think about how to improve searches around the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  We encourage you to tell us what you think in the Webmaster Tools section of our<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/community\" class=\"external-link\">discussion group<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"byline-author\">\n  Written by Amanda Camp, Webmaster Tools and Trystan Upstill, International Search Quality Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we published this blog post.
