We have a multicountry and multilanguage website. Different countries have multiple available languages. We have different version of each page for country and language.
From Google documentation I see that the suggested sitemap.xml
approach is to use alternate links with language spec:
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
hreflang="de"
href="https://www.example.com/deutsch/page.html"/>
Is there a way to also include the intended country in those links? Is there any other suggested way of hinting google of a page specific country?
