Hi Philipp,
Thanks for your response. As I said already I have put UK as my target in WMT (web master tools).
The problem is that as soon as you arrive on my site it is pretty clearly UK only - and it is a furniture site, so who in their right mind would try to buy a 3 door wardrobe from over 1,000 miles away! hence they leave almost immediately and my bounce is going up.
Hi Mozzers,
I have a UK based ecommerce site, that sells only to the UK. Over the last month Google has started ranking my site on foreign flavours of Google, so I keep getting traffic coming to my site from Europe, America and the far east that we could never sell to, and as a result bounce is going up and engagement is going down.
They are definitely coming to the site from google searches that relate to my product type, but in regions I do not service.
Is there a way to stop google doing this? I have the target set to UK in WMT, but is there anything else I can do? I worried about my UK ranking being damaged by an increasing overall bounce rate.
Thanks
