Can anyone help me set up the correct hreflang tag for my multilingual website in Webflow?
To set up the correct hreflang tag for your multilingual website in Webflow, follow these steps:
Understand the hreflang attribute: The hreflang attribute is used to indicate the language and regional targeting of a webpage. It helps search engines understand which version of the webpage to show to users based on their language preferences and location.
Create separate pages for each language: In Webflow, create separate pages for each language you want to offer on your website. For example, if you have an English and Spanish version of your website, create separate pages for each language.
Set up your hreflang tags: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page settings for each language page. Scroll down to the SEO settings and find the "Custom Code" section. Here, you can add the hreflang tags for each language version of your website.
Determine the language and regional codes: The hreflang attribute consists of a language code and an optional regional code. For example, "en" represents English, and "en-US" represents English for the United States. Refer to the hreflang documentation by Google to find the appropriate language and regional codes for your target audience.
Add the hreflang tags: In the "Custom Code" section, add a meta tag for each language version of your site. For example, for the English version, you would add
<meta rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://www.yourwebsite.com/en">. Replace "en" with the appropriate language code for other language versions.Repeat for each language version: Repeat the process for each language version of your website, making sure to use the correct language and regional codes in the hreflang tags.
Test and validate: Once you have set up the hreflang tags for all your language versions, it's important to test and validate them. You can use tools like the hreflang Testing Tool by Google to check if the tags are correctly implemented.
By following these steps, you will be able to set up the correct hreflang tags for your multilingual website in Webflow. This will help search engines understand and serve the appropriate language version of your website to users based on their preferences and location.
