Many markets

Every country maintains its site differently, and errors are noticed late

hreflang connects your country versions with each other. If one market changes its URLs or metadata, this affects all the others.

Each country at its own paceEvery country team maintains its own content, metadata and redirects.
Links to nowhereIf one country moves to new URLs, the hreflang annotations of the others still point to the old ones.
Noticed lateOften the error only becomes apparent when clicks are missing in one market.
hreflang in the crawl

The weekly crawl checks every language version

The full crawl checks the hreflang annotations of all URLs, from missing return links to invalid country codes. The hreflang topic report also shows what has changed since the last crawl.

  • Return links and x-defaultchecked on every URL
  • Language and country codesaccording to ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166

Between crawls

Every country version stays in view between crawls too

Between two crawls, three further monitors keep checking, each at its own interval.

    Country roll-outs

    One country after another, every go-live checked

    If the countries move to a new system one after another, searchVIU compares the live website with the DEV site for each country. After the go-live, searchVIU monitors the country as part of ongoing monitoring.

    Comparison with the DEV site

    Every URL of the country compared with its new target

    Redirect mapping

    A suggestion for every old URL, export for the server

    Frequently asked questions about international websites

    Can several country domains go into one project?
    Yes. searchVIU also crawls projects with several country domains and subdomains. We will discuss the best way to split them up in the demo.
    We check hreflang once a year. Is that enough?
    For the state on that day, yes. If a country changes its URLs afterwards, this only shows up at the next check. searchVIU checks hreflang in every weekly crawl and on your most important pages with Page Watch.
    Do the country teams get their own reports?
    searchVIU has over 80 standard reports that update with every crawl. Whatever else your team needs, such as a view per country, we build. To the reports
    We are migrating the countries one after another. Is that possible?
    Yes. For each country, the comparison with the DEV site and the redirect mapping run. After the go-live, monitoring covers the country like all the others. To the relaunch workflow
    How much does it cost with several domains?
    SEO Monitoring is based on the number of URLs and starts at €399 per month with 50,000 URLs included. We calculate projects with several domains individually. You can find all prices on the pricing page.
