# Hreflang Tag Generator Running a site in multiple languages or regions? Hreflang tags tell Google which URL to show which audience, preventing the wrong-language page from ranking. Add your language and region URLs below and copy the complete set of tags. ## How to use it 1. Enter each language-region code and its URL. 2. Add an x-default URL for unmatched audiences. 3. Copy the tags into every alternate page's (or your sitemap). 4. Make the tags reciprocal - each version must list all the others. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is an hreflang tag? An hreflang tag tells search engines which language and region a page targets, so Google serves the right version to each searcher. It's essential for sites with multiple language or country variants. ### What format should the hreflang value use? Use an ISO language code (e.g. en), optionally with a region (e.g. en-gb). The language comes first, then an optional country - never a country on its own. ### What is x-default? x-default is the fallback shown to users whose language or region you don't explicitly target. It usually points to a language selector or your primary global page. ### Do hreflang tags need to be on every page? Yes, and they must be reciprocal - each language version must list all the others, including itself. Missing return tags are the most common hreflang mistake. ### Where do hreflang tags go? In the of each page, in your XML sitemap, or as HTTP headers. Pick one method and apply it consistently across all alternate pages.
