      Hi Moz,

      I have a question concerning Vintykids.com.
      The site comes in four languages:

      • German on vintykids.com/de
      • Dutch on vintykids.com/nl
      • English on vintykids.com/en
      • French on vintykids.com/fr

      The German language gives a problem. In Google.de (German Google) the site is completely indexed in German but we also see results in Dutch. So when you do a search in Google.de on their brandname (Vintykids) we see results in Dutch on vintykids.com.
      We think we have set the meta's right in the German language on vintykids.com/de and we also managed some links to Vintykids.com/de from good quality and relevant German sites.

      What can we do further to get vintykids.com/de ranking in Google.de on the brandname?

      Thank you.

        Hey Bastiaan,

        You really can't control what Google shows, however, you are missing some basic on multilingual sites, and the most important is: rel="alternate" hreflang="x"

        Try implementing all the correct meta tags to all your pages and then hold for a while to see what Google does.

        Here's more info on rel="alternate" hreflang="x": https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en

        Hope that helps!
