Hello,

To implement hreflang
for the US and Canada, add the following tags to the <head>
of each page: <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="https://www.sarvadhi.com/us/" />
, <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-ca" href="https://www.sarvadhi.com/ca/" />
, and <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://www.sarvadhi.com/" />
for fallback. Optionally, include these annotations in your XML sitemap. Ensure canonical tags point to the correct localized version, and validate the implementation with Google Search Console or hreflang testing tools. This helps search engines direct users to the right regional version of your website. If you face any issues, feel free to reach out, and I’ll be happy to assist.
Hi,
Add hreflang Tags in the Section: Place the following tags in the head section of each page to indicate the correct regional versions of your site. This helps search engines serve the appropriate version of your website to users based on their location:
Canonical Tags: Make sure each page has a canonical tag that points to the appropriate localized version to avoid any duplicate content issues. For example, the canonical tag for the Canadian page would look like this:
Include hreflang Tags in XML Sitemap (Optional): For additional SEO benefits, you can also add these hreflang annotations to your XML sitemap. This makes it easier for search engines to find and understand your hreflang implementation.
Validation: After implementing, validate your hreflang setup using Google Search Console or online hreflang testing tools. This will help ensure that there are no issues with your tags and that search engines can correctly identify the regional versions of your site.
Fallback Version: The x-default tag is important because it points to a fallback version of your site (like the global homepage) for users who don’t fit into the specified regional categories (US or Canada in this case).
The entire purpose of hreflangs is to indicate other localizations and translations of the current page.
Your site is not localized, so hreflangs have no value.
If you do add Webflow localization, hreflangs are automatically created and managed for you.
Here are Google’s docs if you want to learn more.
Thank you for your response. However, if I don’t implement localization on my site, how can hreflang work properly?
Hreflang is only for localized sites.
Are you trying to manually localize a page without using Webflow localization?
Looking at your sitemap there are no pages that appear to be localized variants.
