Need help with search results for US site for a compnay that has many international sites
-
I am tasked with optimizing a US site for a company that has many international sites. Currently, if you search for just the main company name and don't include "USA" in your search, it won't even give you the US site on the SERP. It displays the Italian, French, etc etc sites - even though I'm searching on Google in the US with a preferred language of Engilsh. Unfortunately I don't have any control over the other sites, only the US one. Is there anything I can add to the US site (aside from setting the country code in GSC) so that when someone searches from within the USA, they get the US site and not all of the other ones?
thanks!

Hi brian,
Have you seen this Moz's checklist? Or the Google internationalisation FAQ?.
Best Luck!

Hi Brian,
How new is the US site? You mentioned "Italian and French" sites. Are those geo-targeted sites that are operated separately from the US site or are they translated content? If you can provide more information including the URLs of the US site you expect to show, the branded term, and more about the company setup, I can help give you some things to do.
I know this is frustrating but it is fixable.
