X Default on hreflang tags

[geekyseotools]

Hi guys,

I would like to clarify something about hreflang markups and most importantly, x-default.

Sample URLs:
http://www.example.com/au/collection/dresses (Australia)
http://www.example.com/us/collection/dresses (United States)
http://www.example.com/uk/collection/dresses (United Kingdom)

Sample Markups:

Questions:
1. Can I use my AU page as x default? I noticed that some x default are US. Note that my biggest market is AU though.
2. If I indeed use AU page as x default, and the user is searching from China, does it mean that Google will return my AU page?
3. Can you spot any issues with these markups I made? Anything that I need to correct.

Keen to hear from you!

Cheers,
Chris

1. You can use any version you want as the x-default, it is merely the version that will be shown if none of the other languages are relevant.

2. Yes

3. I'm guessing you forgot to change the url, so here's the correct structure:

Hope this helps you!
