When using Moz Pro do I want Google-UK or -GB as default and why?

[YNWA]

Hi.

When using Moz Pro, I always select Google UK as default search with GB and US next.

Is there a reason to choose one over the other? If so why?

I am UK based and so are my clients.

Thanks

In seminar it has been confirmed that Google GB and UK are the same and are there for historical customers.

Hi,

It is now 3 years since this post but en-UK and en-GB are still in the dropdown menus. I have selected en-UK for Google, Google Mobile and Yahoo BUT Bing only gives en-GB as option.

I assume it is ok but could someone confirm?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

Pam

Hi there! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for reaching out, and I appologize for the confusion. This came to our attention back in May, and one of our Product Managers wrote an answer to another Q&A about it as well. Basically both Google GB and Google UK map to google.co.uk, and this is just a funny bug on our end. When you create your campaign choose google.co.uk .

I hope this helps, and let us know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,

Erin

You also forgot some of the smaller islands around England like new jersey - I would assume the same thing that UK is a larger area than GB

Well there is no google.gb !.  I'm in N.Ireland so out side GB but in UK, as my search results are full of GB only stuff unless it local results ( very frustrating), so that made me assume google   doesn't differentiate between GB and UK in its search results, buy maybe I'm wrong.

I think a Moz staff member is going to have to clear this up for us.

GB is just England, Wales and Scottland.
UK also includes parts of Northern Ireland as well as all of GB.

I imagine there wouldn't be much difference in those results, however I'm just a yank.

The GB has been there since I have been a member (over 12 months).

I assumed the same thats why I select -UK.

Nothing major, some slight differences in rank but if they are just the same or not needed I will select a different search instead of GB.

I have never noticed GB before, so I wonder if its a new thing.  I assumed "UK" was google.co.uk  so I'm not sure what difference GB is ( according to google, not geographically).

Do you notice any difference between UK an GB rank results?
