Question

Indexing a site on Google

May 4, 2016 7:52AM PDT

Hello,

I am planning to launch an online business. As such, I need a website. But I am rather new to the concepts of CEO, web design, traffic etc.
So my question is: does local Google (as in Google Italy for instance) index better a site called abc.it over a site called abc.com ? I'm targeting for now only customers from my own country. Hence, I'm curious about indexing. I just want to know if a .it domain is indexed better by Google Italy than a .com domain also based in Italy. Or the whole SEO doesn't take that into account ?
