International SEO & Hreflang Review
A focused international SEO review for websites operating across languages or markets. I untangle URL strategy, canonicals, indexation and hreflang implementation, then turn the findings into clear rules, examples and QA checks for developers and content teams.
Clarity before your team commits time and budget
The engagement is shaped around the decisions you need to make, not a fixed list of activity performed for its own sake.
Are the correct country and language pages indexed and ranking in each market?
Do canonicals, hreflang, redirects and sitemaps send compatible signals?
Is the international URL structure appropriate for governance and discovery?
Can implementation rules be expressed clearly enough to work across every template?
What the engagement produces
Best suited to international brands, ecommerce businesses and platforms where incorrect market targeting is causing duplication, lost visibility or the wrong pages to rank.
Available as a defined project, focused advisory support or part of an agency partnership.

From an unclear problem to an implementable plan
Define the question
Agree what the international seo & hreflang review engagement must explain, which decisions it needs to support and what evidence is available.
Build the evidence
Investigate the relevant technical, search and business signals rather than relying on a generic checklist or a single tool.
Set the priorities
Turn the findings into a clear sequence based on likely impact, implementation effort, dependencies and risk.
Enable and validate
Walk the team through the recommendations, support delivery where needed and define how the result should be checked.
A decision your team can defend and deliver
A successful review replaces a web of contradictory tags with a coherent international targeting model. Teams understand which URLs should exist, how equivalents relate, where canonical and hreflang signals conflict and how to test the implementation across templates and markets.
Questions before we start
The practical details people usually want to understand before scoping the work.
Can hreflang problems stop the correct page ranking?
Hreflang helps search engines select the appropriate regional or language version, but it works alongside canonicals, indexation and content signals. The audit checks the complete system rather than tags in isolation.
Do you advise on subfolders, subdomains and country domains?
Yes. The recommendation considers current authority, business operations, CMS constraints, localisation and the practical ability to maintain each market.
Can you provide developer-ready hreflang rules?
Yes. Outputs can include implementation logic, examples, sitemap or template requirements, exception handling and QA test cases.
