ABGenc Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I was checking Google Search Console and realised in International Targetting that hreflang tag was missing . It is saidby google that ; Page-level markup Use the <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x" href="alternateURL"> tag in the <head> section of your pages to list alternate language versions for each page. Each page should provide an hreflang tag that links to all other language variants of itself, as well as a tag that refers back to itself. For more granular targeting, you can use the hreflang attribute to indicate language and country combinations (e.g. en-ie, en-ca, en-us). Read more about the hreflang tag in our Content guidelines section. I have found a template named includeMeta and I believe it is where I should put this. I appreciate any idea on where and how should I insert the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 So what is it you want to achieve? IPS 4.x doesn’t create page versions of the same content in different languages. So there isn’t anything to link to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean this tag is only used for those sites that have different languages for the same content only ? Nothing to do with the target language that your site is about ?

For the linking you mentioned: yes. Quote Nothing to do with the target language that your site is about ? You can assign that directly in the search console yourself*, if you want to. No changes to the website necessary. I would be careful to do this. The result can be that you get LESS visitors. * If its not a country-specific domain. Then it’s not necessary anyway.
