We implemented hreflang attribute to make sure search engines indexing made properly for global users. support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077
It seems to be working for all our site pages except our homepage. Although we include the following tags, we see Turkish homepage result when we search by domainname in google.co.uk.

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="tr-TR" href="https://www.domainname.com/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="https://www.domainname.co.uk/" />

If you have separate top level domains, you can set geo targeting in Google search console.


Add each of your domains to Google Search Console: support.google.com/webmasters/answer/34592?hl=en Set the country targeting for each site: support.google.com/webmasters/answer/62399?hl=en

When I have done this in the past, it has prevented the sites from appearing outside their targeted search results extremely well. I've preferred the setting in search console over hreflang tags because it is easier to implement, and very effective.
