How to implement geo-target or hreflang a (1) website to different Asian countries?

[jasmin.calunsag]

Hi !

I have an english website targeting Asia market. Whats the proper way to implement the geo target /hreflang code that will target the entire ASIA region?

I saw some suggestions to do this way (below sample) .. However, we know ASIA has a lot of countries. Is this the best practice for SEO? If this is, then do I really need to list down all the countries under Asia? Is there a better way to do this?

KOREA   --  :    
CHINA  ---:

etc...

I would appreciate your comments and ideas.

Thanks!

Hi jasmin

You need a separate URL for each country otherwise what you are doing will make no sense.

KOREA   --  :    
CHINA  ---:

So you set up a sub-directory for each country and put the relevenat language version in there.

With the default set as https://www.COMPANY.asia,  where there is no geotarget.

It's really important you get this right and understand how it works, so take some time to understand it here:
