Just open the page editing screen and fill out hreflang tags for a corresponding page for another store view. Magento 2 Hreflang Tags Extension assigns the hreflang language for both sides automatically, keeping every language linked from a single edit.

Keep Separate Hreflang Language Tags Across Websites

Separate alternate hreflang language tags between websites in a multi-website setup.

Magento 2 Hreflang Tags Extension allows you to use different locale groups for different websites to keep unrelated content separate.

This tells Google not to treat unrelated website content as alternative versions of each other.

Use Self-Referencing Hreflang on all Pages

Define the fallback page if the visitor’s language or region doesn’t match any of the existing alternatives on your store.

The Hreflang Language Extension adds a self-referencing x-default tag automatically to every enabled page based on your settings.

Tell Google what version of the page to serve in search results by default.

Magento Hreflang Language Use Cases

Add hreflang attributes to Magento pages in different scenarios, regardless of your setup — one or multiple websites, one or multiple store views per site. Locale group settings allow you to decide whether to connect store views between websites or keep them separate.

One Website with Multiple Store Views.

This is one of the most common setups, which works out of the box. All store views within the same website share the same local group, so the Magento Hreflang Tags extension assigns different page versions without any extra settings.

Multiple Websites. One Store View Each.

If you run multiple websites and each represents a different language, assign the same locale group to each of those websites. This will connect hreflang language tags between those websites, so each website is treated as an alternative version.

Multiple Websites. Multiple Store Views.

When your websites serve different markets or different catalogues that shouldn’t reference each other, use different locale groups for each website. This keeps Magento hreflang tags scoped to store views within each website, without relating multiple websites.

Why Do You Need Magento 2 Hreflang Tags for SEO?

Hreflang tags in Magento 2 improve international SEO across all store views by telling search engines which version of the page to show to a visitor in search results based on their language or location. Without them, Google may treat near-identical regional pages as duplicate content or send visitors to the wrong language version, which causes them to bounce back.

FAQs

What is hreflang?

Hreflang attribute, referred to as rel="alternate" hreflang="x", is the HTML attribute that tells search engines about the language of your page and the page alternatives in other languages.

Does Magento offer hreflang tags by default?

Magento doesn’t have any native admin settings for alternate hreflang tags. Adding them in Magento usually requires editing theme templates for each page manually, which makes it hard to maintain and update those tags across all store views.

How to add hreflang tags for multiple websites in Magento?

If you have multiple websites within one Magento and want to connect them, assign the same Locale Group to each website so their store views reference each other in hreflang tags. If you don’t want store views between separate websites to be connected, add separate Locale Groups to link store views only within the same website.

How to add hreflang tags (or other meta tags) to pages in Magento?

Reviews about Magefan Hreflang Tags Extension

We have been relying on Magefan for our store for years, and we have always been very satisfied. Their solutions are effective, and perfectly aligned with real customer needs. Their support is impeccable, with extremely fast response times and great attention to the customer’s needs. Highly recommended.

By Gian Marco M.

We had this massive issue with language switcher failing to work properly so the users kept landing on the 404 pages. Turned out we just needed to mark our pages with alternate tags to improve the switching., but instead of adding them through code we found this module. Should a standard for Magento stores, especially with the scope like ours with 10+ store views

By Charles Zuber

As quick as ever to install (especially with the use of Magento 2 Zero Downtime Deployment), configuration is child's play to create a link between the initial content and the multilingual versions. Even with a very specific site, Magefan was there to guarantee us perfect compatibility in just a few hours. An essential tool for a multilingual site !

By Samuel K.
