Google changes the structure of its domains: from countries to a single

Google announced plans to gradually abandon countries-specific domains such as Google.fr (France), Google.ca (Canada) and Google.co.jp (Japan). All of them will eventually start forwarding to Google.com.

Google has stated that special domains are no longer needed as they can provide topically relevant results, no matter what domain you use.

🚀 This change will unfold slowly over the next months, which will give users the time to adapt to the new system.

💡 It is suggested that this change in the domain may be related to how Google processes international content, although Google has not confirmed this connection.

• 📌 Google is moving from countries-specific domains to the only Google.com domain.
• 📌-specific domains are no longer needed, as Google may provide topically relevant results, regardless of the domain.
• 📌 This change will not affect the principles of international SEO.
