Hello,

So I work for a company that has offices in London and in LA and both offices have separate websites (.co.uk and .com)

What I want to be able to do (and i'm not sure is possible) is when someone in the UK searches for our company, their search engine results disregard the .com website, or alternatively if they click on the .com site they are redirected to the .co.uk website (only if they are in the UK)

Basically we are having problems with clients in the UK accidentally clicking on the LA website and not realising that they are not on the UK website.

If anybody has any other suggestions as to a workaround on this problem they would be greatly appreciated.

PS. sorry if this is in the wrong section, seemed like the most appropriate.

You could use geo-ip to estimate their location (it is generally accurate) and have it display a warning if they are from the uk or eu and have gone to the .com, and vicea-versa for us clients who go to the co.uk

Hmm, it's a great idea but not sure how Google would see it as regards duplicate content. How are you managing the domain forwarding currently? Obviously you own the 2 domains but are the sites the same? I'm just thinking that if both sites are identical bar a few contact details for your different offices whether Google would be penalizing both sites due to duplicate content guidelines, and whether this is the best idea from an SEO perspective?

Just thinking out loud..

Use 301 redirection, this will help you to maintain results from .COM domain in position without loosing the traffic from that links.
