Hreflang Tag Generator
Build hreflang tags for multilingual or regional sites.
Add one row per language version. The default URL acts as the x default fallback.
What are hreflang tags?
Hreflang tags tell search engines which language and region each version of a page targets. If you have an English version, a Spanish version, and a French version of the same content, hreflang says exactly which version to show to users searching in each language and country.
Why do you need them?
Without hreflang, search engines often pick the wrong language version for a user, or treat your localized pages as duplicate content. Hreflang clears the confusion. It also signals geo intent, so a user searching in Mexico gets the Spanish Mexico version, not the Spain version.
How do you use this generator?
- Add one row per language version, using ISO codes like en, en-US, es, es-MX, fr, de.
- Paste the URL of each version.
- Add a default URL for the x default fallback.
- Copy the generated link tags into the head section of every language version of the page.
When does hreflang go wrong?
The two most common mistakes are missing self references and broken bidirectional links. Every language version must include hreflang for every other version, including itself. The other classic mistake is mismatched language codes, like fr-CA pointing to the wrong Canadian French URL.
