French SEO Consultant

If the priority is making French-language pages perform better, this service is a good starting point. If you are still choosing countries, domains or the order of expansion, I would begin with international SEO strategy. I can connect both scopes without treating every French-speaking country as the same market.

Yes. I provide the search research, page priorities and SEO briefs, and work with your writer on how the pages answer customer questions. We agree who signs off French accuracy, tone and product claims. Where language review is needed, a qualified French-language reviewer is part of the scope; I do not present myself as your native French copywriter.

Sometimes, but I would check the offer first. Terminology, delivery, currency, support and applicable requirements can differ. If one page genuinely serves both audiences, there is no reason to manufacture duplicate versions. If the commercial details differ, I plan distinct regional pages and the relationships between them.

I assess your current site, target countries and ability to maintain separate properties. A .fr domain can be appropriate for a France-focused business, while a French subfolder on an established site may suit a wider language audience. Neither is a substitute for useful pages and relevant authority. Domain registration eligibility is checked before a recommendation is finalised.

Yes. I check crawl access, response codes, canonical targets, internal links and how the CMS publishes the French versions. I also review whether the pages offer enough distinct value. I identify the likely causes and implementation priorities rather than assuming translation alone will fix indexing.

I review which language and regional relationships your actual pages need, then check their implementation and return references. A generic French version and a France-specific version are not automatically interchangeable. Hreflang is used for equivalent alternatives, not unrelated French service pages or pages that do not exist.

Yes, for tasks such as organising research, drafting outlines and comparing content coverage. French copy still needs editorial review for meaning, tone, terminology and accuracy. My AI content strategy support helps define that workflow without turning an unchecked draft into a published promise.

I can review how clearly your French pages explain your business, services and evidence, and sample relevant questions in available AI platforms. I check the pages and sources behind observed answers where possible. Citations and recommendations are not guaranteed, and I would not report an isolated mention as a qualified enquiry.

Measurement needs to fit your consent setup. For France, CNIL guidance generally requires prior consent for non-exempt trackers; some audience-measurement uses can qualify for an exemption under specific conditions. I coordinate SEO measurement with your developer and privacy adviser, rather than promising that an SEO audit certifies legal compliance. Read the CNIL guidance.

It can. Your business circumstances and the activities you carry out matter, so I would not treat a translated homepage as a compliance decision. I flag language consistency across the website and customer journey and ask your legal or language-compliance adviser to confirm the applicable obligations. The OQLF explains common business-language questions.

Relevant outreach and paid-search support can be scoped alongside SEO. I first check the market, landing pages and review resources. I do not sell indiscriminate French directory submissions or assume an English ad translated word for word is ready to run. See my link building approach and Google Ads consulting.

The quote depends on the site, target market, page types and implementation responsibility. The options below distinguish an audit, a market launch and ongoing consulting. French copywriting, native review, development and outreach costs are identified in the proposal, so you can see what is included and what requires a separate budget.

Technical checks and a prioritised plan can come before search performance changes. The schedule depends on the audit findings, approval speed and implementation capacity. I agree milestones for the work, then report visibility and commercial outcomes against your baseline. I do not promise a first-page position by a fixed date.

You work directly with me on the SEO priorities and progress reviews. Your business keeps ownership of its website, analytics and search accounts. We agree access, communication and the people responsible for French editorial approval before starting.
