      My website targets few English speaking countries and includes Spanish & Turkish

      the current setting is

      two question

      • Since I care about few english speaking countries I think I should remove the US part and add x-defualt. What are you thoughts?

      • Should I add the country code for the Turkish hreflang line?

      Thanks

        Unless your language pages are localized only for specific countries, I think you should simply use the language codes (en, es and tr) in your Hreflang markup instead of language+country (en-US, es-ES).

        x-default is not required.
