I have a .com site but I am only ranking good on google for Canada and not the USA.

We are located in Canada but sell our products world wide. We are ranking ok on google.ca but are not in the top 50 on google.com. Is it due to my ip address? Is there any tips that you can give me to help up my rating for google.com. Any info you can provide me with will be amazing.

Thanks,

What is the search term that you're trying to target and what is your domain?

Hi Andrew,

Here are my tips on ranking well for the US:

1. Host your server in the US
2. Sign up to Google Webaster Tools and set your location to United States
3. Get some inlinks from US sites

Also bare in mind the chances are your keywords are going to be a lot harder to rank for in the US due to increased competition.

I hope that helps,

K

DO NOT DO THIS! Andrew is trying to sell worldwide. By geo-targeting ONLY in the US, he will lose ALL google.ca rankings and any possibility to rank in any country outside the US. Locations in GWT should not be set to any country.

My suggestions to rank in the US are getting links from sites in the US or in the country you are trying to rank for. You don't necessarily need to move your site to a server here in the US. I have my server in the US and I rank in google.de, google.co.uk, google.au and many more.
