Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Tks for your explanations.

I can't tell you for Spain, as i live in France (just for an exemple i use Spain) ! But I 'm pretty sure that Google handles all his new search features at the same time in France, Spain...(ouest europe). So, we can change location settings in France for some months now, but i think it's only a tiny part on  how the location is handled by google, as you can't change your ip address, your isp,

But regarding "history" as you say, if a user is not logged, google cookies can't store any history , is it (or just a part of it but how much)  ?

Even more, if a user don't allow cookie or javascript on his browser, you won't have any history on google servers.

Tks for your comments on that...

Tks..

I don't want to deceive google, it's not my aim here.

In fact, if you're working for a customer located outside from your office area, the Google serp in Barca or elsewhere are not the same as they are geo targeted according the ip device.

So , to make an audit, sounds like a bit difficult. That's why i look for a way to launch located queries from a distant point, but i'am afraid that is not possible...

Tks for your reply..

What about my question 2**/** regarding a tool  for queries out of a native location ?

Hi,

Look for idea for a website owner selling training courses on painting , he wants to be ranked locally first but also national on google Serp (only one physical address available). His domain name is rather a branded one (no kw in it), and the website is recent (1 year) . An audit will be focused on competitor rankings to find niche KW.

I 'd advise  :

- For local : optimized Google  address listing  + local business directories + optumized page with local emphasis (shema.org ..)

• For national : to make unique relevant content pages with keywords geographically targeted (according audit), for instance for a specific town, to include terms related to this particular local market etc..

1/ What 's else could i suggest to start a national ranking ?

2/ Have you heard of a tool to make distant queries on Google ? I mean , i leave in Madrid (spain) and want to see google serp as if i was in Barcelona ? (seems difficult as google uses Ip).

Tks in advance for your advices...

hi,

What about launching a Google Adwords Express Campaign to make stronger the Seo work ?

Tks in advance..

Tks for your link, but what do you mean by "select local business" ?

I can't see any "local business field" to select somewhere in the form, may be i haven't got the whole picture of it ...

I appreciate your reply..and your link also.

Tks a lot..

Many tks for your suggestions ..

Tks for your prompt reply..

hi,

Local search case

i try to evaluate local competition on a local query such as "hairdresser + the city name" in Google for a merchant without website neither a google adresse listing.

• Top results : 7 google adresses pack : ok

• Organic results : SERP  display only directories ! The first 10 pages are reviews platforms & local directories (qype, yelp, yellowpages etc..) except only 1 or 2 urls with personalized domains name.

1/ Would it be easy with to make a website + with a brand new domain name (myhaidresseShop.com) to dominate these serp (organics) quickly (first 2 months)  ?

2/ Would it be better to first launch a targeted submission campaign (popularity)  on those local directories with personalized data  (first month) , and later on, to build a website ?

3/ Or ideally, from start,  to make both a local campaign (Google adresse + submission) and launch a new website ?

Tks in advance...
