Hi SEO experts,
I run a website that offers AI tools with translations in multiple languages. Each language version has its own subdirectory (e.g., /de for German, /fr for French, etc.).
**Current Setup:**
* Homepage contains AI tool demonstrations and content
* Multiple language versions available (using subdirectories)
* Proper hreflang and canonical tags implemented for all languages
**The Specific Problem:**
When users search for my brand name “wrizzle” from non-English countries:
* German users see English homepage instead of /de
* /de only show up in sitelinks or when users add language keywords (e.g., “wrizzle deutsch”)
**What I’ve Confirmed:**
* This issue only affects brand name searches
* Google Search Console data confirms this behavior
* All language versions are properly accessible and indexed
**What I Want:**
When someone searches for “wrizzle” from Germany, I want Google to show /de as the main result, not the English homepage. Same for other countries with their respective language versions.
Any insights on why Google prioritizes the English version for brand searches and how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
