How to get EU visitors to .co.uk and US visitors to .com

[Crumpled_Dog]

Hi all

Re: www.explanar.com and www.explanar.co.uk

We have developed a website for the US and UK, with a shop on each. Each site has a network of countries they can export to.

US sells and ships to US, South America, Caribbean and so on

UK sells and ships to UK, Europe, and Africa, etc

Currently, visitors from Germany (.de) searching for phrases "Explanar", or "golf swing trainer" get the .com (US) site. They cannot buy from this site, so we have added a message to tell them to go to the UK site (.co.uk, but what I really want is for the European visitors to find the UK site only.

.com is the original URL, but with new content
.co.uk has just been set up

In the long run, we will set up .de URLs with German language, and other countries will follow, but not all.

Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks
Scott

Hi @Scott,

You need to set geographic location under Google Webmaster tool:
.com to USA
.co.uk to UK

It can only work or set your website for specific country based users.

[firstconversion]

have a german language page on the .co.uk?

You could also use IP redirection

Hi, thanks for this. I think it's a bit more complicated than that... unless I'm missing something.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the idea. Something like that might be worth trying.
