Hi, I am from Ukraine, but I am writing my blog in english targeting USA audience and I was wondering, if my location somehow affects who can find my blog. Would getting VPN to have American IP improve my SEO?
It does not matter the IP you use to write your post. However, it does matter the time it takes your readers to get to the content.
Just make sure that the hosting you provide is the fastest to respond to your region. Sometimes a local host is not faster than a further away from one, depending on infrastructure and conditions.
If you want to target USA, make sure your site is placed within the USA. Do not host it in Ukraine/Russia/Europe
Your IP as a writer doesn’t matter.
When you’re blogging, no matter where you are from. If your content has the strength to help your target audience, the search engine will figure out and represent your blog to the more target audience though. The algorithm can understand this.
