Frequently asked questions

Which is better: subfolders, subdomains or ccTLDs?

For most businesses subfolders (example.com/fr/) are best: they share your domain's authority and are cheapest to run. ccTLDs give the strongest local signal but start from zero.

Should I redirect visitors by IP or browser language?

No forced redirects. Show a suggestion banner and let people choose, so crawlers (which mostly come from the US) can reach every version.

Do I need hreflang for one language in several countries?

Yes, if you have separate pages for each country (en-us, en-gb), so Google shows the right prices and details.
