Common hreflang mistakes
- 01
Every alternate must link back
If page A lists page B, B must list A, or search engines ignore the pair.
- 02
Include a self-reference
Each page should list itself in its own set.
- 03
Use valid codes
Language first (en), optional region (en-GB). 'en-UK' is wrong, the region code is GB.
