Hreflang (multilingual SEO tag)

Related service Websites, web apps & online shops

DEFINITION

An HTML tag that tells Google 'this is the Hungarian version, that is the English version' of the same page. Both versions can rank, but Google serves the right one to the right visitor. Mandatory for Hungarian e-commerce sites with English content - without it Google sees duplicate content and demotes both. Configured via `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="hu" href="...">` tags in `<head>` or in the XML sitemap. Misconfiguration can cut Google traffic 30-70%.

RELATED TERMS06
  • Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)→

    We shape content so AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI overviews) cite YOU: clear claims, structure, sources, schema. The successor discipline to classic SEO in 2026.

  • Zero-Click Search→

    Searches resolved right on the results page (AI overview, snippet) with no click to any site. Rising fast: you win by being the cited source, not just by ranking.

  • Featured Snippet→

    The boxed answer Google lifts to the top ("position zero"). Win it with a crisp, directly-phrased answer placed right under a question heading.

  • People Also Ask→

    Google's expanding box of related questions. Each one is a content opportunity: answer them explicitly to capture the box and the long-tail traffic.

  • Crawl Budget→

    How many pages a search engine will crawl on your site per visit. It matters for large sites: waste it on junk URLs and your important pages get crawled late.

  • Canonical URL→

    The <link rel="canonical"> that tells search engines which URL is the master when duplicates or params exist. Prevents ranking signals from being diluted across near-identical pages.
