        No problem at all John. Drop me your URL, search phrases and Google search engines to track to info@inetseo.co.uk

        Please also include any of your competitors and we can see where they rank in comparison πŸ™‚

              A few other things you might want to consider:

              1. Do you have the country TLDs registered (.au, .co.in, etc.)? Do you have websites at those domains or at least 301ing to your .com?
              2. Do you have geographically targeted content? I'm not talking keywords, I'm talking relevant content and topics for the geographies in which your targeting.
              3. Have you tried PR outreach in those geographic areas?
              4. Do you localize your content (translate to appropriate languages)?

              These are four things that have worked wonders for our international clients. Feel free to shoot me back a response or message if you want more ideas or any clarifications. Best of luck!

                1. None.

                2. Since it is a web application, there isn't much text content on the webpage. It is a single page application. General instructions on using the web application are in English though.

                There is no such targeted content/topic.

                3. I don't understand what that means. Can you kindly elaborate?

                4. I just realized that in the index.html of the site, there is a lang='en' attribute attached to the html tag. I promptly removed the same and submitted the site in GWT. Thanks for pointing this. πŸ™‚

                  1. This has been helpful to us in the past. Give it a try if you don't mind spending the money on the TLDs. Just 301 redirect them to the .com.

                  2. Even though it is a web app, do you do any sort of blogging or content marketing? What's the URL of the app?

                  3. What I mean by this is, have you tried building relationships with press/bloggers/content creators located in the countries/geographies that you are targeting?

                  4. Glad to help! πŸ™‚

                    1. I will definitely try it out.

                    2. Kindly check your inbox πŸ™‚ Not yet.

                    3. I will try and get some backlinks using this when i have some spare time.

                      OK, so the results are in πŸ™‚

                      • Google AU - Position 5
                      • Google IN - Position 8
                      • Google UK - Position 7
                      • Google US - Position 5

                      A lot of the time, search results are messed up when trying to search from your own machine as there can be cache, location, IP and all other kinds of issues.

                      I hope this has helped.

                        Andy, I really appreciate the time and effort you have put in. πŸ™‚

                        Last time i checked today, Google IN positioned it on the 4th page. I have tried to nullify the caching/ IP/ location effect on search results.

                        Maybe it was because of the localization of language that Derek pointed out. Thanks once again Derek πŸ™‚

                        Time to push the rankings further up!

                        John

                          You're welcome John. Glad I could help.

                          If you want to keep an eye on these, I don't mind setting you a login up and you can track the phrases from my system? Let me know if you do and I will drop this over on e-mail to you.
