Hreflang tag generator
Paste one line per version as language-code space URL, tick x-default if you have a fallback page, and copy the full hreflang block into your head. Every URL must be absolute.
head tags
Codes are language plus optional region: en, en-gb, de-at. Test the set with the hreflang checker.
The two rules that keep hreflang alive
- Reciprocity: if page A lists page B, page B must list page A, or the whole pair is ignored.
- Every URL must be absolute, and each page should list itself.
Hreflang does not improve rankings. It tells search engines which version to show which audience, so the right country version ranks instead of the wrong one.
