What is Geo-Targeting?

Telling search engines which country a site or section targets, via ccTLD, hreflang regions and Search Console settings.

In more depth

Language targeting and country targeting are different: a Spanish page can target Spain, Mexico or all Spanish speakers.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding Geo-Targeting helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
