Canonical links on different language version

Hello :)

I work as a SEO specialist in the digital marketing team for The Klyne Group, which include many companies such as Doona, CuddleCo and Pets Love Scruffs.

I'd use hreflang tag Ideally, you would use the hreflang attribute to indicate to search engines that the page is a localised versions of your other article page. In your example, the Canadian article would be extremely similar to your English article, but I wouldn't canonicalise them. (Canonical tags pass all the lovely goodness to the canonicalised page, so the other pages wouldn't rank as well as your UK version. I imagine you want the Canadian version to rank in Canada?)

I'd add hreflang tags into the head tag of your pages - this is the easiest method If you want all of them to rank and you want search engines to understand that these are articles meant for specific geographical areas, I would put some html into the section of the pages, known as hreflang tag.

How to do it On each of the three pages, the html code needs to point to itself as well as the other 2 pages.(This informs the search engine that there is the version that they are crawling, plus 2 other versions).

So the code needs to include all 3, something like this:

Within the hreflang tag code above, you can see that: en-ca signals that it is the English version for Canada. en-gb indicates that it is the English version for the UK. de-de is for German

X Default is recommended, but not essential

There is also a fall back version that is often recommended but not essential. It's for anyone that falls outside of the geographical areas.(E.g. Imagine an English speaker in Spain).This is shown below as 'x-default'.

Hope this makes sense?

Such a shame that it removed my coded examples.
