The Importance Of Setting Up Locally: Search Engine Rankings In Singapore

By Anne Rowan


Search engine rankings in local search engines could be simplier and easier to accomplish than in Google.com or Yahoo.com but you have to make sure that the major search engines perceive your site and your content as applicable for the local Singapore audience or whichever local market space that you are needing to show up in.

Showing up in a local search engine such as Google.com.sg is simpler once you do these:

To begin with, run your site through a .com.sg or .sg site (or the local equivalent, eg .com.au or .co.nz), next, host your site with a Singapore hosted server (so your server IP is in Singapore), and finally, say to Google (using Webmaster Tools www.google.com/webmaster-- login using your Gmail account) that the website is localised to Singapore.

Should you do any of the above, then you will rank higher in Pages from Singapore or your local counterpart.

If you happen to run your website in a .com, .net or .org, then you are required to make a clear resolve regarding the physical site of your market space. So to illustrate, we started our SEO service in Singapore but we at present work for clients globally. Right now we have a setback. We're on the list of leading top three search engine optimization corporations in Singapore, we're No.3 right now in Pages from Singapore, a position which we have held tightly for just about two years now, and up until recently we have been showing as the No.3 SEO company in Pages from the Web as well.

Today, just this week, two competitors have pressed us down inside the pages from the web. We're 'anchored' to Singapore inside Google Webmaster Tools, in spite of running our site through a .com domain. We have been debating in our group if we should 'un-anchor' ourselves from Singapore and take our chances in the .com world.

The choice for us is simple bearing in mind we've got two years of contents and movement that ties us to Singapore and our web domain is hosted in Singapore. So seeing our competition are actually taking our spots, we are going to forego our Webmaster Tools tied to Singapore this coming few days.

For anybody who is new to the world wide web and your web site has not been in this area for awfully long, and even if you've got a .com site but your physical business comes from a particular single country, then we might suggest that you simply anchor yourself at the outset to a local country (assists you to foster business and local traffic), and be able to soon let go yourself, and take the plunge into the .com world.
