@gfiorelli1 @gfiorelli1 I totally agree with those points. Option 2 on the domain level suggests bringing back GSC Internationalization and extending it to include ccTLD, which it did not. I had referenced CMS challenges in my why SEOs hate hreflang rant hreflangbuilder.com/why-is-hreflan…

@billhunt so true... paraphrasing "companies have moved mountains to improve core web vitals, but draw the line at fixing Hreflang". HREFLang has so much more revenue potential, it's insane Growth Managers aren't jumping up and down screaming. hreflangbuilder.com/why-is-hreflan…

@mpelmann We have seen a significant increase in this error due to content either being completely duplicated and not helpful, especially when set to the wrong language. If set to French France but the content is in English.

@jasonlax @JohnMu @davidiwanow I have a blog post coming when I get back from Japan to try to explain the disconnect between hreflang and company websites. Google is showing a French language page to people searching in French but you want them to see a Canadian page in English. Both are bad experiences.

@5le Great point - Google may still show a significantly better page from another market and Hreflang does NOT exclude non-local markets just demotes them as it did in this case - assuming your query was in the US.

@JohnMu Thank you for the PSA John, seeing too many companies deploying IP detection to reduce cart abandonment and tanking local organic performance. Updated this article last night on why it is a problem and its impact on hreflang. hreflangbuilder.com/ip-detection-a…
