Locale + URL Pairs
Most hreflang tools accept locale and URL pairs, commonly using language-only values like `en` or language-region values like `en-US` and `fr-FR`.
Many generators support an `x-default` fallback URL for users who do not match a specific locale targeting rule.
Some hreflang generators can output HTML head tags or XML sitemap alternates.
Guidance
What hreflang does
Hreflang tags help search engines understand which language or regional page version should be shown to different users on multilingual or multi-country sites.
Typical implementation rules
- Use language codes like `en` or combined language-region values like `en-US`.
- Add an optional `x-default` fallback URL when appropriate.
- Place the alternate tags in the HTML head or an XML sitemap, depending on your implementation method.
Important reminder
Hreflang sets typically need reciprocal references across all localized page variants, not just one page in isolation.

How it works
Hreflang generators typically take locale and URL pairs, then produce alternate annotations that identify language-only or language-region page versions for international SEO. Many tools also support `x-default`, self-referencing tags, and output formats for HTML head markup or XML sitemaps.
- Locale values commonly follow language or language-region formats such as `en`, `en-US`, or `fr-FR`.
- `x-default` is commonly used as a fallback target for unmatched users.
- Generated tags are typically placed on every relevant localized page in the set, not only one page.
