my question is;
will i appear on google.ie automatically if people search for my company services or because its a acutal forwarding nothing will appear unless they enter the company name?
hope all makes sense, thanks alot |
Simple answer - no.
You have a .com hosted in the US. redirecting the .ie makes no difference I'm afraid.
2 options:
1. host .com in Ireland
2. move site to .ie
My money would be on 2. And if you can host the .ie in Ireland also that woul dbe even better. Even though you dont have to, Google seems to be making a right bunch of geotargeting these days. Best safe than sorry.
