Added hreflang tags to a multilingual site but Google Search Console is showing errors, what should I do?

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

If you're going this route, sort this out first. Map listings bring more business than blog posts for most local businesses.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

Thanks that was the answer I was looking for.

It's rare to find an explanation this clear.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
