The new Organic Growth Lead is hired for "localisation and hreflang at scale". The biggest gap is on the biggest routes: the sitemap lists 12 language versions of "Send money to Ukraine", but the page itself leaves 6 of its hreflang links empty (href="") for Spanish, French, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian and Russian, although those pages exist. Romania, Poland, Nigeria, the Philippines and Germany have the same fault, while long-tail corridors are complete. Search engines get conflicting signals, so a Russian or Romanian speaker can be shown the English page or none.

Why it works
Find why the template drops the alternates on these pages (likely a custom page set outside the corridor template), fill every link from the same source the sitemap uses, and add a check to the release process that fails on any empty hreflang. Then watch impressions by language in Search Console for the six corridors.
Hreflang tells Google which language version to show each searcher. On the routes that carry the most volume, every searcher sent to the right language page converts better and costs nothing.

Risks and how to handle them
Other templates have the same fault
Run the crawl across blog and business pages too.
Evidence
- Your websiteCorridor hreflang (checked October 21, 2026): the sitemap lists 12 language versions of "Send money to Ukraine", but the page's own HTML leaves 6 of its 13 hreflang links empty (href="" for Spanish, French, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian and Russian), although those pages exist (the Russian one returns 200). The same happens on other top corridors: Romania (7 empty), Poland (7), Nigeria (9), the Philippines (8) and Germany (5). In a random sample of 30 other corridor pages, and on India, Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan and others, every hreflang link is filled.Source
