Yes, Webflow provides an easy way to add a lang attribute to the <html> tag and an hreflang attribute to the <link> tag, which are both important for SEO.

To add a lang attribute to the <html> tag, follow these steps:

In the Webflow Designer, open the "Pages" panel by clicking on the pages icon on the left sidebar.
Select the page where you want to add the lang attribute.
Click on the gear icon next to the page name in the "Pages" panel.
In the Page Settings modal that appears, go to the "SEO" tab.
In the "HTML Tag" section, you'll find a field labeled "Attributes". Here, you can add the lang attribute with its respective value, such as lang="en" for English or lang="es" for Spanish.
Save your changes and publish your site for the changes to take effect.

To add an hreflang attribute to the <link> tag, follow these steps:

In the Webflow Designer, open the "Page Settings" panel by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner.
Go to the "SEO" tab.
In the "Metadata" section, you'll find a field labeled "Advanced SEO Settings". Click on the "Edit" button next to it.
In the Advanced SEO Settings modal that appears, scroll down to find the "Hreflang Tags" section.
Here, you can add multiple hreflang tags by clicking on the "Add item" button. Each item should have a value for the hreflang attribute (e.g., en, es, etc.) and the corresponding URL of the alternate language version of the page.
Save your changes and publish your site for the changes to take effect.

By adding the lang attribute to the <html> tag and the hreflang attribute to the <link> tag, you are providing search engines with important information about the language and regional targeting of your website. This can help improve the SEO performance of your site and ensure that it appears in the relevant search results for different languages and regions.
