Hi,
I have a website ranking quite well in a specific country, that is up for some time now with that specific country set as the targeted country in GSC.
However, I would now like to expand that website by translating the articles and target other countries.
I read that then my GSC targeted country will need to be set as unlisted if I want to show up in other countries. But I also read that changing that could drop my traffic (globally and in my specific country) for some months before it recover. As it brings cashflow, I'm not sure whether it's worth the try or not.
I didn't find much informations about the topic on the web, apart from the facts stated above OR they are aged and informations may well be outdated.
So I'm asking your experiences here :
did you ever change the targeted country in your Google Search Console for a running website ? If yes, what was the impact on trafic (if any)
Note : the domain name is a global domain name, not related to any country
