Hey Dirk

Thanks again for your advice and sharing the above links - this definitely makes more sense!

Hi Luis

I looked at he language declarations you pointed out - can you further explain what I have done incorrectly here?  The difference I can see is I have used "Capitals" lang='en-NZ**'>** and lang**='en-AU****'>** instead of lang**='en-nz****'>** and lang**='en-au****'>** am I understanding this correctly?

Hello Justin,

Yes, you are right

Let me tell you that ISO codes normally come represented in lower-case. I am almost sure this is not your problem, since html code is no case sensitive, but it's a good practice!

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...)

Thanks Luis for pointing that out - my developer said it was his mistake and have no updated - is it correct now?

[edward-may]

Hi Dirk

Thank for that! I have updated it - my developer said he made the mistake of not updated all and have no updated it so hopefully its correct!

Hi Justin,

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

Sorry.

Dirk

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?
