Default Help Please: Google Issues

Hey guys - 3 quick questions. I'd really appreciate some advice



QUESTION 1:

I run an advertising campaign on google through adwords. Everytime I went
to google and typed in my campaign keywords, I would appear first overall.
I am located in Canada, and now when I go to google.com I do not appear at
all. The only time I appear is when I go to google.ca. Why could that be?

I went to the new Google site that runs with suggestions. But then went
back to google.com ... ever since then I've noticed this problem ((However
the only reason I just noticed it now is because I never tested my adwords
campaign in 3-4 weeks before that so it's quite possible this could have
been going on for quite some time.))

If anyone could help me get back on Google.com I would be greatful as even
though I live in Canada, I hardly ever type google.ca but google.com.


QUESTION 2:

How would I go about being listed under Local results for garage doors near
Toronto, ON for example?

QUESTION 3:

How would I go about getting listed for my keywords under google when I
click *pages listed in Canada*

I'm 1st for Toronto Garage Doors, however can't seem to be found when I
click the pages listed in Canada only And my only business is in Toronto
lol

Thanks for your time!
Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you too!

Did you catch the bit about adwords, where you can choose to show ads to
surfers from a paricular country only? Not sure if this addresses your
issue, but it's about the best you can do with the worldwide google.

If you want to aim at a narrower audience, then I suspect you might be
better off using a local advertising service.
