      We have multilingual websites with some content variations but 60% of the content on site remains the same.

      Is it still advisable to use:rel=alternate hreflang option on ccTLDs  when ccTLDs are in itself strong signal for Google to display result in respective countries

      1. example.com

      2. example.co.uk

      3. example.co.jp

      4. example.de

        Absolutely. We have seen nothing but positives when using the hreflang tag. Of course, make sure you use it appropriately and don't accidentally tag a page that doesn't have a sibling on the other ccTLDs
