Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As an update I am seeing a very slow start to getting the domain to rank in the top 200 results for its own name (riley).  By this time with a .com I would usually have seen my site somewhere in the top 100 without much effort.  Although, I haven't started a new domain from scratch for a competitive key work like "riley" in a while.  I will continue to build links and eventually do more marketing when the site if further along.

Let me know if anyone else has had some of the same experiences with gccTLD rankings.

Thanks!

I am working on a mid size restaurant groups site.  The new site (in development) has a drop down of each of the locations.  When you hover over a location in the drop down it shows the businesses info (NAP).  Each of the location in the Nav list are using schema.org markup.

I think this would be confusing for search robots.  Every page has 15 address schemas and individual restaurants pages NAP is at the below all the locations' schema/NAP in the DOM.

Have any of you dealt with multiple schemas per page or similar structure?

Awesome!  The dev community has been using .io for a while, so it is natural that it gets considered a gccTLD.  Really good to here him mention it.

Both of you have great advise and appreciate your help.  Have you ever worked on getting a gccTLD to rank or competed for keyword targets with a gccTLD?

Great tip!  I had setup webmaster tools, but not checked this setting.  My location was set to the "-" by default.  I changed it to US, does this mean that if I want to target international traffic I won't be able to?

Is this the same in bing?  Going to look now.

I am working on a new site that uses a .io TLD.  I have just started working to get the domain to rank for its own name.

What are some others experience with ranking and SEO for gcctlds?
