I’ve just finished reading and very refreshing article by Vanessa Fox letting us know that Google have introduced a new tool that allows Web site owners to specify the geographic location of their website.

Traditionally Google has used indicators such as your top-level domain (.com.au) and the physical location of your Web server to tell where your website/business is positioned geographically.  These indicators, while mostly accurate, do not always provide the best indication of website location.  You can now use Google Webmaster tools to specifically let their search engine know which country you would like to be associated with.

It’s great to hear a company such as Google is continuing to listen to website owners to help improve their service.  If you would like to know more about how to take advantage of nominating your Web site geographic location make sure you read the article over at Search Engine Land.
