    Hi, all! Thanks for your requests :) The best way to implement "hreflang" tags to your Strikingly sites is by adding a bit of code through Settings>Advanced>Custom Code>Header (for Pro) in your site editor pages.

    Here's an example:

    Your English site has the URL http://www.yoursite.com while your site's French version can be found through http://fr.yoursite.com. 

    1. In your site editor, go to Settings>Advanced>Custom Code>Header of http://www.yoursite.com, add a link element pointing to the French version at http://fr.yoursite.com/. Here's how the code looks like:

      <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="http://fr.yoursite.com/" />




    2. Do the same for your French site http://fr.yoursite.com. Go to the site editor and head on to Settings>Advanced>Custom Code>Header.  This time, add the link element code pointing to your English site http://www.yoursite.com:

      <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.yoursite.com/" />


    Learn more about "rel="alternate" hreflang="x" through this help article from Google. Hope this helps! :)
