What are the signals that help Google see that your site is targeting a specific country? Choose two answers.

Using a country code top-level domain (ccTLD), such as .de for Germany or .fr for France, is a strong signal to Google that your site is specifically targeting that country. This is because ccTLDs are geographically specific. Similarly, implementing the hreflang directive in your website's header, specifying both the language and the country (e.g., en-us for English in the United States), explicitly tells Google which regional version of your content to serve to users in that location. Using generic top-level domains (gTLDs) like .com, .net, or .org does not inherently signal a specific country target to Google; these are global by nature. While a subfolder containing a country's name might be part of an internationalization strategy, it's not as definitive a signal for Google as a ccTLD or hreflang attributes.
