Uber Freight is hiring a Customs Business Development Lead in Monterrey to run campaigns, webinars and thought leadership for the Mexico customs product, plus a Principal AE in Mexico City and customs teams along the border. On October 22, checked twice, all ten article links on the /es-MX/blog page returned 404, including the new post on US–Mexico customs compliance for high-volume freight. The same articles load under /es-US/. The /es-MX homepage's two news links are also 404, and the Mexico newsroom points search engines to a press-room URL that does not exist. A Mexican logistics manager who clicks anything on the Spanish site's blog or news hits an error page, and the Canadian French blog has the same problem.

Why it works
Publish the es-MX (and fr-CA) versions of the blog and newsroom entries, or point those links to the es-US and fr versions until they exist; fix the /es-MX/newsroom canonical; add hreflang between en-US, es-US, es-MX, fr, fr-US and fr-CA; and add a nightly link check across all six locales that alerts the web team on any 404. Then give the customs lead a working Spanish content path: the customs-compliance article, the IMMEX legal-framework resource and the Avery Dennison story, each ending in a Spanish customs consultation form routed to the Mexico team.
The Mexico team is being built to generate demand through content and campaigns. Every campaign that sends traffic to the Spanish site currently leaks it into error pages; fixing the links turns existing Spanish content into pipeline straight away.

Risks and how to handle them
CMS creates the gap again
Block publishing of a locale listing until each linked entry exists.
Duplicate Spanish content
Use hreflang es-MX and es-US so each market gets its version.
