Hello, I am dealing with an SEO issue where it’s saying that we do not have the HTML Lang tag, but the site that we built and operate through hubspot DOES have this tag on every page.

I am including both a screenshot of the SE Ranking error and a screenshot of our code.

Is there anything we can do on our end or is the SEO tool we are using (SE Ranking) wrong here?

Thanks for the help!

@SLegierski This is just a false flag in the SE Ranking tool, you’ll just have to disregard it.

SEO reports can often trigger false flags, just remember that they’re there to help you identify “potential” issues and aren’t perfect. In this case, you won’t be able to clear the error, but you can rest easy that it’s not causing any issue for your website.

Hi @SLegierski,

We also use SEranking, this is a false positive.
