Hreflang Tag Generator

Test what your product pages might look like in search results based on your schema.

How This Tool Works.

Navigating international SEO can be tricky, especially when it comes to telling search engines about the different language and regional versions of your content.

Our hreflang Tag Generator makes this process straightforward.

Input Your Page Versions.

For each language or regional variation of a specific page, enter its full URL.
In the corresponding "hreflang Value" field, enter the correct code (e.g., en-US for English in the United States, es-ES for Spanish in Spain, or simply fr for French with no specific region).
Use the x-default value for the URL that should be shown to users whose language/region settings don't match any of your other specified versions (like a language selector page or your primary version).

Add More Versions.

Click the "+ Add Language Version" button to add as many URL/hreflang pairs as you need for a set of equivalent pages.

Remove if Needed.

Made a mistake? Simply click the "×" button next to any row to remove it.

Generate Your Tags.

Once all your page versions are listed, click the "Generate hreflang Tags" button.

Copy & Implement.

The tool will produce the complete set of <link rel="alternate" ... /> tags. Copy these and paste them into the <head> section of every page listed in your set.

Hreflang Tag Best Practices.

Correctly implemented hreflang tags tell search engines which language and regional versions of your page to show to users, and because of this, its important that we always follow best practices.

Accurate Tag Structure.

Use valid language codes (ISO 639-1, e.g., en, es) and optional region codes (ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2, e.g., US, GB). The format is language-REGION (like en-US).
Always use full, absolute URLs (e.g., https://example.com/page.html) in the href attribute, and ensure they point to canonical versions.

Reciprocity is Crucial (The Golden Rule).

Every page in an hreflang set must link to all other alternate versions in that set.
This includes a self-referential hreflang tag (a tag on a page that points to itself). If Page A says Page B is its Spanish version, Page B must say Page A is its English version.

Implement x-default for Fallback.

Use hreflang="x-default" to specify a default page for users whose language/region isn't explicitly targeted by your other tags. This is highly recommended by Google.

Correct Placement (Using This Tool).

The tags generated by this tool are designed for the <head> section of your HTML pages. Ensure they are placed there on every relevant page in the set. (Alternatively, hreflang can be implemented via XML sitemaps or HTTP headers).

Avoid Common Errors.

Incorrect or Invalid Codes: (e.g., en-UK instead of en-GB).
Missing Return Tags: Not having reciprocal links is a frequent issue.
Relative URLs: Always use absolute URLs.
Blocked Pages: Ensure your localized pages are crawlable and indexable.

Always Test.

After implementing hreflang tags, use Google Search Console (International Targeting report, if available, or general indexing reports) and other SEO tools to check for errors and ensure they are being interpreted correctly.
