  <!-- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
       City landing pages — Tier-1 (major metros, highest CPC competition)

       Each URL declares its bilingual sibling via xhtml:link rel="alternate"
       hreflang. Google uses these to:
         1. Avoid penalizing duplicate-content (the two URLs target different
            languages, not duplicates).
         2. Serve the correct language variant in search results based on
            the user's browser locale.
         3. Boost ranking signals by treating both URLs as one canonical
            cluster, sharing PageRank.

       The x-default points to the EN version (Spanish-speaking users in
       Texas typically have ES set; everyone else defaults to EN).
