Search Console International Targeting
Search Console International Targeting used to give webmasters the options to specify which country a website is targeting.
What was Search Console International Targeting
Google has deprecated the International Targeting report in Search Console. It used to give webmasters the options to specify which country a website is targeting. However, the effectiveness of this setting has always been questionable and it only ever allowed for one country to be specified. Google claims that “the ability to target search results to specific countries using Search Console country targeting was determined to have little value for the ecosystem”.
