Running it, start to finish
- Confirm you have genuinely equivalent versions that would otherwise compete.
- Choose the structure knowing that changing it later is a migration.
- Verify reciprocity across the entire set programmatically.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Asks whether hreflang is the right tool before implementing it.
- Names the four rules broken most often, including the required self-reference.
- Requires whole-set reciprocity verification, since one broken pair is invisible in a spot check.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Do not add region unnecessarily. Most sites need language targeting only. Adding region fragments the set and multiplies maintenance for nothing.
- Check the self-reference. Every page must list itself among the alternatives, and its absence is the single most common implementation error.
- Expect no ranking gain. Hreflang decides which version is shown to whom. Implementing it as a ranking tactic leads to disappointment.
