Strategy for visibility in a german speaking country

[petrakraft]

The following scenario:
We have a domain with .info (good Domain Authority) which ranks well in google.at, google.com but not in googe.de.
We want to rank well in google.de, too
(same language in .at = Austria + .de = Germany though).

The paths of the websites are: www.example.info/de/keyword.html  --> so we do use the path for Germany already to target that country.

What strategy you suggest?

I suppose your site's primary target was Austria and that Google understood it. Now for making it rank in Germany you will need to build some backlink on .de websites, and also have german targeted content (specific topics, outlinking to .de sites).

I would suggest to try this strategy on a few pages (try different strategies on the differents keywords) and see what works (if it works!). I'm not really experienced in this so I hope you will get other answers.

Often I see .de domains which rank in Switzerland & Austria as well. So I think the is no need to set up a .de domain. Just try to get German Links to www.example.info/de/....
