      Here is the update:

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

        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?
