Questions
What is hreflang?
Hreflang tells Google which language and country each version of a page is for, so it can show the right version to each user (Google Search Central).
Where do I put hreflang tags?
In the HTML head of every page in the group, in your XML sitemap, or in HTTP headers for files like PDFs. Use one method consistently.
What is x-default?
A fallback page for users whose language or region you don’t target, often a homepage or a language picker.
Do I need a region code?
Only when you have different versions for the same language, for example es-ES for Spain and es-MX for Mexico. A language code alone covers every region.
Do you store what I enter?
