The location of the server will influence the website ranking? As we don't know how Google thinks, we can only stipulate. But there are definitely accounts that your server location would rank you better for the local version of your server's Google. Having the web hosting company's data center (IP address) in the country you are targeting does help but really you have to look at your overall strategy. This is only one piece of the puzzle.
Can the geographic location of a web server affect SEO?
Quote: Lee from the UK asks:
"Hi Matt, could you confirm whether the geographic location of the web host has any significant ranking factors for organic SEO?"
+ YouTube Video ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you dont have Flash installed.
What Matt says about changing country targeting: I don't have that option with my .ca domains. Although, in another thread here, those who used .com do have that option. Absolutely not this doesn't effect your rankings, you can have hosting from anywhere in the world. Quote: Originally Posted by wallmart
