Google says Geolocation Redirects Are Okay - is this really ok ?

[NortonSupportSEO]

Our aim is to send a user from https://abc.com/en/us to** https://abc..com/en/uk/ **if they came to our US English site from the UK

So we came across this document - https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2014/05/creating-right-homepage-for-your.html

We are planning to follow this in our international website based on the article by google :

automatically serve the appropriate HTML content to your users depending on their location and language settings. You will either do that by using server-side 302 redirects or by dynamically serving the right HTML content.

Will there be any ranking issues/ penalty issue because of following this or because of 302 redirects ?

I don't think so, that it will create a problem.

Yes it will cause a problem if you just do it in such a basic way. Google crawl from numerous data-centres, based in different countries. As such, Googlebot will crawl from different places and will keep thinking different areas of your site are going up and down all the time. The remedy of course, is to exempt Googlebot (user-agent) from your redirects
