Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Inside Google Webmaster Tools is the Geographic target feature.  Am I wise to change it from it's default setting ? The Geographic Targeting is a great feature that allows you to link your website to a particular location/country. It should be used only when a website targets to users from a particular country and when it does not really make sense to attract visitors from other countries. I have a site that ONLY is applicable to the UK. MY QUESTION Will I do more damage by setting the geographic location to UK, and so down grade my Google ranking in general. Or It's best to inconvenience none-UK geographical users and then NOT impact any google rankings holistically. I'm thinking of switching from the default webmaster geographical setting to the UK only. Good decision based on my site only being in the UK? Thanks in advance for any reply
