Is there a good tool for testing href lang reciprocity?

Not too many options available:

• Screaming Frog can detect whether the tag is available on all pages - but this is only a very basic check

• Google Webmastertools lists the errors under Search Traffic > International targeting

• Deepcrawl can probably do the trick - but it's not exactly a cheap solution (https://www.deepcrawl.com/knowledge/best-practice/hreflang-101-how-to-avoid-international-duplication/)

Alternative would be to use the href lang generator (http://moz.com/blog/using-the-correct-hreflang-tag-a-new-generator-tool) and compare the results this tool generates with your current code.

On Moz - you can also find this practical guide on common mistakes - but you probably already have read that one.

Hope this helps,

Apart the good options given by DC1611 (a more human username was bad?), I must tell you that if Flang is telling that your hreflang annotations are not correct, then there are 99% of possibilities that they are not correct.

I declare over the base of my daily work as International SEO, because I never found an occasion that the DejanSEO tool was wrong in its analysis.

Moreover, if you could share the URL that is having this issue highlighted, we could help you better. Or, if you can't for "business" reasons, try to explain better what is your concern and the details causing your doubts.

Hi Gianluca,

I'll change the display name - I always sign my answers with my real name though...

Thanks for your responses (regardless of names :)). The error message I get is  - Reciprocal not found -. The weird thing is that I only get that error message beside the URL I test. I.e. If I test
www.test.com/canada/

It will show the second link as www.test.com/usa/ as it should, but beside my /canada/ link it will show "Reciprocal not found".
But if I redo the same test, and enter www.test.com/usa/ it will show 'Reciprocal not found" beside the USA link, but not beside the Canada one.

So the Reciprocal not found error stays with the URL I'm actually entering.
Does this make sense?
