      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?
