Frequently Asked Questions
Hreflang tags are HTML link elements that tell search engines like Google which language and geographical region a specific page is targeting. They help prevent duplicate content issues and ensure that users are served the correct version of a page based on their language and location.
They are critical for international SEO because they solve the problem of having similar content in different languages or for different regions. By using hreflang, you tell Google, "This US English page and this UK English page are not duplicates; they are alternates." This helps the right page rank in the right country, improving user experience and search performance.
The hreflang="x-default" value is used to specify a default or fallback page for users whose language and region settings do not match any of the other specified hreflang tags. It's often used on a language/country selector page or the most common version of the page (e.g., the .com English version).
Yes. For hreflang tags to work correctly, they must be "reciprocal." This means if Page A links to Page B as an alternate, Page B must link back to Page A. Therefore, the complete block of hreflang tags generated by this tool (including the self-referencing tag for the page itself) should be added to the <head> section of every URL you listed in the generator.
