Hi,

Google’s Webmaster Geographic Targeting Tool states that my ecommerce.co.uk website is associated with the UK and that I can not change this because it is a co.uk domain, even though we ship our products worldwide

• Does this mean that I will never be able to geographically target my products outside of the UK as well as I can to people searching for my products from within the UK?

• How does this affect the extent to which I can market my products outside of the UK via organic listings?

• How does this affect the extent to which I can be found by people searching outside of the UK

• How do I change the Geographic Targeting settings for my co.uk site?

Thanks

You have a .uk so you're site is associated with the UK. But your site can still rank well for someone like me searching in the US. You can target your products to people outside of the UK and rank well in organic listings. I see .uk pages all the time when searching.

You will probably get a boost in ranking for people searching on Google UK and I might see more sites geographically targeted to me in the US, but pages from every country can be found in either the US or UK.
