Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Guys,

It's been a while, and the .com site is now showing directly underneath .com.au site in the USA. Is there a way for the .com.au site to be removed, or to not be indexed?

Thanks

Hello,

I am looking for someone to help with PPC marketing, mainly Facebook ads, and Google shopping.

If you are an expert in this field,would love to hear from you

Yep, the content is the same. Thanks Matt

Thanks Kate,

Will adding HREFLANG hurt? I have noticed that the .com is indexed in the US now (before the hreflang) and is moving closer to the .com.au.

Cheers

Ok great, thanks for that. Have just added those and tested, so now we play the waiting game

Thanks Guys

Would we also need to do this with the blogs?

Hi there,

We have 2 sites, one for Australia, and one for the USA.

We have set the geo targeting to each country, removed all references to Australia on the .com site (except for the image link linking back to our .com.au store), added a US address, changed spelling to US spelling, submitted sitemaps to Webmaster Tools.

Google has only just started indexing the .com US site, however, the .com.au Australia site shows up in a US search when you Google: http://www.google.com/ncr

We also have 2 blogs if that changes or helps anything at all.

Thanks
