SEO for international bloggers

[Nilss]

Hi

I'm brand new to SEO stuff, and I'm trying to monetize my blog.

I have a Q from you about optimizing my blog for an international audience.

So I thought where is better to ask my question

My q is:

Does the country that you are living in and publishing your post affect your SEO if you blog in English? For instance, if I live in turkey, but I publish my whole posts in English, will Google hesitate to show my content to an English audience?

In other words, Does the publishing source country make it harder to contest with native English bloggers for google's page 1?

Thanks in advance for your attention

Besides @terentyev's advice, you have to be sure of competing for the international keywords with good content.
I'm doing something similar at the moment with a health and pet blog, and the health blog which has more quality content
is starting to get some tractions in the SERP.

@terentyev appropriate advice.

@nilss Google does take into account the quality of English. Make sure that your English texts have no grammatical and stylistic errors. As for publishing source, use international targeting tab in Google Search Console, and specify which country you want to target your blog to. Also, use the appropriate hreflang meta tags that should point to the English country of your choice. eg. "en-US" or "en-GB".
