💡 What is Hreflang?
International SEO Basics
- Hreflang tags tell search engines which language version of a page to show users.
- Prevents duplicate content issues across language/regional versions.
- Uses ISO 639-1 language codes and optional ISO 3166-1 country codes.
- Tags are placed in the <head> of each page — every page references all versions.
📖 Format Guide
Code Format
- Language only: en, es, fr, de, ja, zh
- Language + Country: en-us, en-gb, es-mx, pt-br
- x-default: Fallback for unmatched languages/regions
- Always use lowercase for both language and country codes.
🎯 Best Practices
Implementation Tips
- Every page must reference ALL language versions including itself.
- Hreflang tags should be reciprocal — page A links to B, B links to A.
- URLs must be absolute (include https://domain.com).
- Use x-default for your language selector or main homepage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I put hreflang tags?▾
Hreflang tags go in the <head> section of your HTML. They can also be implemented via HTTP headers (for non-HTML files like PDFs) or in your XML sitemap. The HTML link tag method is most common and easiest to implement.
Do I need hreflang for the same language in different countries?▾
Yes! If you have English content for US (en-us) and UK (en-gb) audiences, use hreflang to help Google serve the correct version. Even small differences in spelling, currency, or regional terms justify separate hreflang tags.
