Is your business located on a specific location in order to target the customers of a particular area? If the answer is yes and its not required for your business to target customers globally then setting up a geographic target for your website would be the best option available for you.
What is Geotargeting?
Geotargeting simply means, targeting your website on a specific location. This can be any country of the world where your business might be located. Geotargeting helps Google to present more accurate and more specific results from the same location itself where the user has set up a preference.
