❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Googlebot fait-il ses crawlings uniquement depuis les USA?
Non, mais majoritairement. Les données locales peuvent encore être crawled, mais c'est moins fréquent.
Le contenu géo-dépendant est-il correctement indexé?
Cela dépend de sa configuration. Assurez-vous que le contenu est accessible et correctement interprétable par Googlebot.
Dois-je reconfigurer mon site à cause de cela?
Cela dépend du public ciblé. Si votre trafic est principalement local, il faut vérifier et adapter le contenu au crawling américain.
