How to get traffic from Canada Only

[1akal]

I have a website from Canada based, and need only Canadian traffic. But i am getting traffic from USA more than Canada. I have submitted site on Canada based business listing, Classified and rest of sites. But still getting traffic from USA. Please suggest me what should I do?

It's a Med Spa business, or people from US will not go Canada to take Spa services and all those. My target audience is only from Ontario, Canada..

Okay, I'm assuming that you are using a .com domain TLD?

If so, there are two choices number one you could purchase the .ca version of your domain, and 301 redirect each page over. This will let Google know you wish to target.you want to geo-target Canada

Or in Webmaster tools/search console

Go into Google Webmaster tools now search console and add the www. & non-www. To your search console. Once you have done this click on geolocation and target Canada as the country, you wish to geo-target.

• Or

• https://blog.kissmetrics.com/geo-targeting/

List off TLD's you can geo-target  (Remember .ca does this automatically.)

• it's never a bad idea to host the site in the country being targeted.
• (even though Google says IP's don't matter)
• I honestly think they do to a small amount.
• Make sure the site is fast in Canadia
• Ensuring that you are using the various language differences between Canadian English and American English. Is a must!
• I recommend Find FAST hosting in Canada e.g. Peer 1 and speedy rails as great hosting companies in Canada.

I hope this helps,

You could exclude sertain IP ranges in the .htaccess but that will never block all US traffic.

Big question is, why would you want to block them? Are they not the target audience you try to reach? What about Canadian people living in the US?
