Geo targeting challenge: Historically, many Geo sites are outranked by the US or predominant language version sites. Example: US sites outrank Australia, UK, or India English sites, even if searched from those countries. Solution: Add HrefLang (language/country) annotations to XML Sitemaps indicating to Google which country a specific page is targeting. Results: Improved rankings and increased impressions and clicks from Google Average Visits: +485%, Revenue: +133%
Href Alt Lang in XML Sitemaps
