      Thanks so much Luis, ill report back to you once iv done the changes and see how it goes - I do remember when were making the changes to the hreflang tags the first time - my developer told me the ruby system was automatically changing back to what is currently showing, could that be possible?

        Hi Luis

        Here is the update:

        www.zenory.com,  www.zenory.co.nz and www.zenory.com.au

        Let me know your thoughts and if I have done everything correctly?

        Cheers

          Hi Dirk

          Iv applied your recommendation, however our ruby system keeps converting it to its current status - but I took the default setting out!

            Hi Justin,

            Nope, it's not implemented properly. For your three domains I see the 3 hreflang language specifications is the same "en-us".

            You can see this by checking the source code of all of them.

              Hi Justin,

              The tags are now completely wrong - on the .com version it lists (seems the same on .com.au & the .co.nz)

              Not really that technical, but check with your programmer - he must be able to find a way to get this right. The x-default is not that important in your case I guess as you mainly target these 3 markets. If you can't fix it it's better to take them off because now you're sending a very confusing message to Google (for en-us it now has the choice between 3 url's - and for the other languages there is no alternate url mentioned...)

              rgds

                    Hi Justin,

                    I fear I made a mistake in the url's - you have to use the full url

                    Sorry.

                          Justin,

                          Seems to be ok now  - tested the 3 url's and all are ok (homepage)

                          Don't forget to update the pages inside the site:

                          Example: https://www.zenory.com/tarot-readings

                          Here the hreflang should become

                          Currently they all point to the homepage.

                          rgds,

                          Dirk

                              Hi Luis,

                              Thanks for your response! So I managed to update all urls with the correct hreftags and submitted a new sitemap also have used google fetch to index the pages - I went to do a search in australia and it is still showing the new zealand meta tag description can you take a look?  Or something I'm doing wrong here?
