How To Add hreflang Language Tag In Blogger?

Actually we always use hreflang tag in our blogger template as shown below:

<link href="http://www.example.com/" hreflang="en" rel="alternate"></link>

That was my earlier installed hreflang tag and I actually still don’t know why this tag are not working in my blogger template.
Anyway, when I found its solution codes I stopped searching why previous codes are not working. If you also got error message from SEMrush or any other SEO tools you can simply get rid from this simple error.

Just add the below code in your blogger template just below at <head> tag.

<link expr:href="data:blog.url" hreflang="x-default" rel="alternate"></link>

Here, "data:blog.url" represents the blog homepage URL and hreflang "x-default" annotation allows auto redirection of homepages and sub-pages according to primary language and country.

You can also use hreflang value "en" instead of "x-default" if your blog's primary language is English.


If you don’t have any paid SEO tools account like SEMrush you can also check your hreflang attribute for free using hreflang testing tool below.
