Expanding globally requires more than just translating content. You need to signal to Google which version of a page belongs to which country.
The Hreflang Tag
This code tells Google: "This page is for French speakers in Canada." Without it, you risk duplicate content penalties across your regional sites.
Subfolders vs. ccTLDs
- Subfolders (site.com/fr): Easiest to manage, consolidates domain authority. Best for most businesses.
- ccTLDs (site.fr): Stronger local signal, but splits your domain authority. Expensive to maintain.
