How to automatically ceate your hreflang tags with LogiCommerce

In the world of international eCommerce, implementing hreflang tags correctly is essential for appearing in search results across different countries and languages.

This function can be a challenge for many platforms, as it can be difficult to scale and time-consuming when done manually.

However, with LogiCommerce, the automatic generation of hreflang tags simplifies this process, helping stores improve their search engine rankings in international markets.

Context: Internationalization and hreflang tags in LogiCommerce

LogiCommerce allows users to set up and manage multilingual and multinational online stores with advanced options for segmenting by country and language.

According to Xavier Leoz, CIO of LogiCommerce, one of the platform's main advantages is the ease with which dynamic hreflang tags can be created.

With LogiCommerce, this process is automated, saving time and effort, especially when managing multiple versions of a site in different languages.

Country and language configuration

To configure hreflang tags in LogiCommerce, the first step is to define the sales areas, or the markets the store intends to reach. Each country can have its own domain, allowing LogiCommerce to identify the language and country structure. For instance, in the United States, LogiCommerce enables users to set up both English and Spanish versions, using either subdomains or subdirectories.

It’s worth noting that LogiCommerce supports subdirectories for each language and country, following SEO best practices recommended by Google. This avoids the need for subdomains, which are not as effective for SEO.

Automatic generation of hreflang tags

LogiCommerce automatically generates hreflang tags based on each store’s language and domain configuration. In the Front Office, users can check the HTML code and see the hreflang tags LogiCommerce has generated for each configured language and region. This includes tags for each primary language, as well as an x-default tag for the store’s main language.

These tags indicate to Google which versions of the store are available for each country and language, helping search engines show the right content to users from each region. According to Xavier, this automation not only simplifies the process but also ensures that all pages are correctly tagged, which is especially useful for stores with multiple languages and enabled markets.

Benefits of automation

The automatic creation of hreflang tags in LogiCommerce saves hours of work, especially for large stores with multiple languages and country versions. This feature, included in all LogiCommerce plans, allows eCommerce stores to maintain a clear and optimized structure, which is essential for international SEO.

Application across the entire catalog

This system applies not only to categories but also to CMS pages and products. This means that each page in the catalog is SEO-optimized for each market, without requiring additional settings. From the homepage to product pages, all hreflang tags are automatically created according to the configurations set up in LogiCommerce.

Expand your store internationally with LogiCommerce

With LogiCommerce, managing an international store has never been easier. This platform enables dynamic hreflang tags, ensuring an optimized presence in search engines for each market.

As Xavier Leoz explains in the following videos, this functionality is essential for selling in international markets and allows stores to focus on their business goals without worrying about manual SEO configurations.

If you’re looking for a solution to expand your store into new markets without the complexities of multilingual SEO, LogiCommerce simplifies the process and ensures effective international positioning.
