I just did a post at Search Engine Land about the most awesomest feature ever of Google’s Webmaster Tools. You can now tell them the geographic location of your site.
Thank you Vanessa – that news has made my day. Now, to share the good news…
Amazing Thank’s so much to both you and your ex team the trouble i have had over this.

Cool! Done and done.
I like the way it also prompted to follow through and create a listing for Google maps.
There is a problem with the telephone verification process for that though. It asked for PIN followed by Pound Sign, but didn’t seem to accept pressing the # button as being the right one.
Luckily you can back up and “request postcard verification” instead. There’s still a use for snail mail.
I guess Google is too peacenik to support the ICBM meta tag?

So close… but still doesn’t work for a lot of global web sites that aren’t using subdomains to identify country target. Hoping Google will continue to add alternative ways we can help them understand our web structures better. Thanks for spreading the word Vanessa – I know you had a lot to do with this enhancement!
It works for subfolders too. What’s HPs structure?
I was expecting pictures.
