UNSOLVED Need help resolving hreflang conflicts

[Kirk Brown]

Hello,

There are issues centering around the language translation pages on my outdoorsplendor.com website. The issues are being reported on the google search console and in the attached SEM Rush Site audit. These issues are impacting my site's SEO. Wondering is these problems were caused by this site's orgin as a duplicate as another appdrag project. Wondering if that caused issues. Could you please let me know how to resolve this?

Hi @kirk-brown,

if you check what is returned for your home page for example:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://www.outdoorsplendor.com/?lng=en">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://www.outdoorsplendor.com/?lng=en">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="es" href="https://www.outdoorsplendor.com/?lng=es">

it's defining the default language (en) and and alternate language es & en

So this is not preventing your website to be indexed by google:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.outdoorsplendor.com

and here is spanish:
https://www.google.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.outdoorsplendor.com%2F&num=10&lr=lang_es&sca_esv=954ba678d3f37bee&as_qdr=all&tbs=lr%3Alang_1es

@joseph-benguira In the spanish google link you provided, only 3 of our pages show in the spanish serp page. There should be many more showing there. It appears there may be an indexing problem with the spanish language.

@kirk-brown In the spanish link I provided I see 2350 indexed links in spanish, not 3 ...

@joseph-benguira This is all I see when I click your spanish google search link. Not sure how you are showing a different result in your screenshot but the first is a Kirk's Lawn Care page, then two Outdoor Splendor Pages and that is it.

@kirk-brown seems on your side filtering to display spanish links is not working

you can check here:
https://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=https://www.outdoorsplendor.com/&num=10&lr=lang_es&sca_esv=954ba678d3f37bee&as_qdr=all

and ensure spanish is selected
