Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Donna a ton

Hi,

I have another question and very much appreciate your advice. Are the following hreflang tags correct? Or now that we do not have french version yet, should I delete the first line? Because, for instance,  we do not have such a URL yet: https://www.pacificsmoke.com/fr/wholesale. In this case, I do not understand why I should add hreflang.

For our homepage:

And an example for other pages:

Should I use  instead of rel="canonical"?

Any advice would be a great help.

Thank you so much Alex. Appreciate your help and advice.

I appreciate your detailed answer Donna! Very helpful

Hi,

I added canonicals last two days, and made a tiny change is our meta titles. (adding a secondary keyword). Now my ave. position and visibility has dropped very much. Can it be canonicals or is it the keywords? Can canonicals affect the website so quickly?

My other question is can it be temporarily so should I wait more? how long?

I should mention that our website content is not really good and I'm working on it. When I added meta tags we had a big jump in our ranking and then we stopped getting better,. But now we are going down! Can it be the content? Sorry I know that it is actually all, but i do not know which one matters more and do not understand why it happened immediately after adding canonicals.

Our website is: www.pacificsmoke.com

Appreciate your advice.
