Display URL changed for Organic Regional Searches?
-
Hey. We currently have a US version of the site (/us) which is displaying in US Google Search. However the /us domain is also showing for our co.uk Google searches. Is there a way I can ensure the /us is only displayed for US searches?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Great! Thank you. I have PM'd

Hi,
Would you be able to post a URL? Maybe there is something you have missed with the implementation. More eyes, see more.
If you cant/wont post it publicly, send me a PM.

Hi Keszi,
Thank you for your response. I forgot to mention that we do currently have hreflang tags in place with the x-default set to our .com page. However it seems that our /us page is working as the default. I have tested other country.languages and /us seems to appear. I also should mention that this is when searching for a specific keyword rather than our brand name.

Hi there,
This is one of the reasons why the hreflang tag was created. You can learn more about this here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/hreflang-tag
Also I would advise you to read Dave's post about it: https://moz.com/blog/hreflang-behaviour-insights
I hope this will clear it a little bit.

Getting Google to provide a different URL in SERP
For one of my client’s sites, I have several keywords that are ranking in the top 5 positions. However, they have a high bounce rate. I believe this is because Google is delivering a different URL than the page we have optimized for the keyword. Any suggestions on ways I can get Google to present our preferred page?
