How do I use the geographic target tool to specify my site's target audience?

If your site targets users in a particular geographic location, you can use our geographic target tool to provide us with information that will help us determine how your site appears in our country-specific search results, and also improve our search results for geographic queries. This data supplements our existing information, and setting a geographic target won't impact your appearance in search results unless a user uses Advanced Search to limit the scope of the search to a certain country.

To set a geographic target:

• Sign into Google Webmaster Tools with your Google Account.

• Click the URL for the site you want.

• Click Tools, and then click Set geographic target.

• Select Associate a geographic location with this site.

• Select the geographic information that applies to your site's target audience, and click Save.
