Google Webmaster and Multi Country

[blitzna10]

Lets say I have:

• www.domain.com/au
• www.domain.com/uk
• www.domain.com/nz

In Webmaster, should each of those be setup as a separate site, targeted to the relevant country?

Does the country targeting in Webmaster bear much weight?

Cheers

Hi there

Yes - you should do this! Set up separate profiles and country target those properly.

I would also suggest you take a look at your hreflang tags for Google and language tags for Bing.

This will definitely help crawls and tell search engines which regions your site variations should target.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
