Hreflang tag generator

The Hreflang Tag Generator Tool is designed to simplify the process of creating hreflang tags for your multilingual or multi-regional website. Hreflang tags help search engines understand the relationship between different language versions of a webpage, ensuring that the correct language version is served to the user.

How the tool works

To use the hreflang tag generator tool, follow these steps:

1. Upload a CSV file containing your website’s URLs and their corresponding language/region codes. Ensure your CSV has column headers with the language/region code you want to use. You can optionally add an ‘x-default‘ column header with the URLs you want to be treated as x-default. The URLs in each row will be treated as a hreflang cluster.
2. Select the hreflang type by choosing between Meta tags and XML sitemap.
3. Generate the hreflang output by clicking the “Generate hreflang” button. Depending on your selection, the output will be displayed on the page as meta tags or as an XML sitemap.
4. (Optional) If you choose the XML sitemap option, you can download the XML sitemap by clicking the “Download XML Sitemap” button.

The tool accepts CSV files with column headers representing the language/region codes (e.g., ‘en-us’, ‘en-gb’ ‘en’). The output can be in the form of hreflang meta tags to be added to the head of your HTML pages or an XML sitemap following Google’s guidelines.
