SEO Tycoon

I want to know how to target visitors from particular region alone. This is not for any ad campaigns but for the site optimization and promotion.

For instance, if I want to target UK visitors alone and my site is offering services that will benefit to the region, How should I optimize and promote site to this region alone?

Optimize your site using Geographical keywords.

I will be writing a very detailed White Hat blog on this tonight, but for now you can check out my Black Hat guide to targeting the right audience. It might give you some ideas.

As I wrote this week earlier:
This would help:
- as north beach said, target geographical keywords
- Submit your site in local directories
- Put your address on the bottom of each page, it will help the SE's to know where your site is from and rank high for those locations.
- There might be a script trick but I don't know it. Chris or Steven will be able to answer that for you.

Other than use set geographical location in Google Webmaster Tool as well.

keywords are the main thing to focus on. Say for example you are a web designer wanting to promote your business locally, its best to start focusing on getting ranked highly for a keyword such as 'Website design in London' (obviously replace 'London' for your area

)

So just start putting those kewords into your content, and having backlinks containing the keywords coming back to you as well

Do some offline advertisng as well. That would help you target a local audience as well.

You may also optimize for the local Google search engine.

analyze some competitor/related sites from particular region and find some site to promote and link on that particular region.

**ajcones** · 07-22-2008, 04:02 AM

Try also to join some forums that is based on that region. Or get some backlinks from sites that is also based on that region

If you can get your hands on a database of cities, towns and states....the Black Hat possibilities are endless.

It's one of my favourite SEO shortcuts because the competition level for highly rewarding keywords and phrases is so low.

If you can set up a site that optimizes "Dating in ____" for every city in a country, with database generated content, you're rolling in it.

Meta Geocodes are something to consider. Now that there are smart phones everywhere with gps, geocodes are being used as a way for people to find restaurants, gas stations, shopping, etc simply by where they are currently located.

Get a domain which ends in the .uk, get links from sites with .uk domain, have the site hosted in that region and target the keywords which are searched for by that region for you site.

**carlyc** · 08-09-2008, 08:48 AM

Extracted some good site of that region to promote your site:

Articles
Directories
Forums
Classified
Business Listing
Press Releases
etc...

It will help to increase your ranking and visitors both for that Region...

A .co.uk domain will automatically have its Geographical Region set to the UK.
The TLD is of some minor importance.

Having the server located in the region makes a difference.

Set the Geographical region in Google Webmaster Tools if its not already set.

Putting the address and country and regional dialing code in the footer of the page also help to focus the page and target it to a particular region.

Hello fchristo,

You should submitt your site in local directories. Adding the country name and code in the page can also help you.

**anujlko** · 08-12-2008, 08:59 AM

you should put your link on websites which are having information related to your particular region.
