How to Generate hreflang Tags for International Website Versions

Running multiple language or regional sites? Without hreflang tags, Google might show the wrong version to the wrong audience — hurting rankings and UX. Manually coding hreflang for dozens of pages is complex and error-prone. With Summrly, you can generate accurate, SEO-safe hreflang tags in seconds. Just enter your topic and target regions, and AI will create the correct markup to tell Google which content goes where — ensuring French users see French pages, and Germans see German ones.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Most hreflang errors come from mismatched URLs or incorrect language codes. Summrly starts with your content and uses AI to map your multi-language pages. It generates precise hreflang annotations (e.g., hreflang="fr-fr") and links them to the correct regional URLs. This prevents duplicate content issues, improves geo-targeting, and boosts international SEO — all without technical headaches.

Step-by-Step Guide

Create Your First Topic – Enter your main subject (e.g., “digital marketing tools”) to start multi-language setup.
Set Up Your Content Focus – Choose your target countries and languages (e.g., Spain – es-ES, Mexico – es-MX).
Add Keywords – Include region-specific search terms to strengthen targeting.
Brand Details – Add your domain structure (subdomains, subdirectories, or ccTLDs).
Complete Setup – Export or publish AI-generated hreflang tags in HTML, HTTP headers, or XML sitemap.

Enter your topic below to generate hreflang tags — and make your global site speak the right language to Google.

Case Study: 6 Languages, Zero hreflang Errors, 3X International Traffic

An e-commerce brand expanded to 6 countries but had hreflang errors causing content mismatches. German pages appeared in France, and Spanish content ranked in Latin America incorrectly. They used Summrly to generate hreflang tags for 300+ pages. AI matched each language/region pair with the correct URL and outputted clean markup. After implementation, geo-targeting improved, duplicate content penalties disappeared, and international organic traffic grew by 300% in 10 weeks.
