π Local Reranking

The more your website relates to a specific country, the higher it could rank during the reranking process. π
- β A topic or entity can be more popular in a specific country.

This personalization could appear in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) as:
- π Content from a country-specific domain
- π Content from a country-specific IP address
- β‘οΈ Example: A domain with an IP address from Australia may get a ranking boost in Australia. π¦πΊ
- βBut Google doesnβt rely solely on country-specific domains or IP addresses.
Note: This is to prevent gaming the system, so Google also considers additional signals during the reranking process:
