Which search countries does SEO by Zaweba support?

Twelve search regions are supported in SEO by Zaweba, and the UK is the default. You choose the country, along with the language, for each project in step 1 of the guided audit. The country sets the Google domain used in the step instructions, so when the app tells you where to search and what to paste, it points you at the right version of Google for your market.

Why the country matters

Search results differ between countries, sometimes a lot. The same term can bring up local businesses in one market and national retailers in another, different spellings, different featured snippets and different people also ask questions. An audit is only as good as the results page it compares you with, so that page has to come from the country your customers are in.

How it works without contacting Google

SEO by Zaweba never contacts Google search itself. In step 3 you search in your own browser and paste in the page source, drop a saved complete web page, paste the visible text or type addresses one per line. The project's country is what makes the instructions name the right Google domain, so you search in the place that matches your market. You stay in control of exactly which results page is used, which also means you can repeat the audit with a fresh page whenever you like.

If you set up a Serper key, the Fetch with Serper button in step 3 offers to fetch the results instead of pasting them. That is optional, and the default is always the paste.

Setting it per project

Because country and language belong to the project, you can run different markets side by side. Make one project for your UK site and another for a version aimed at a different country, or one per client if you look after several. Projects are listed on the left, and File, New project starts another. The site type is set in the same step, so a project for a local service business in one country and an e-commerce shop in another are each scored with their own weights.

Language and modifiers

The language setting goes with the country. Step 5's extra tasks list suggests modifier searches suited to the site type, such as cost, best, versus, near me, UK, wholesale, bulk and next day, plus autocomplete from a to z and site: searches. Those tasks are things you do by hand in your own browser, so make sure you are searching in the market the project is set for.

When your market isn't listed

If your country isn't among the twelve, choose the closest one and keep in mind that the instructions will name that country's Google domain. The checks on your page, your site and the pages above you don't depend on the country at all; they read whatever pages you give them. What matters most is that the results page you paste comes from searching in your own market, which you can always do from your own browser.

SEO by Zaweba keeps each project's history separately, so positions, competitor movements and score trends stay tied to the right country over time.
