About this service

French search is not one market: in Quebec people "magasinent" and write "courriel", in Belgium and Switzerland "déjeuner" can mean breakfast, and many users skip accents and type "creme" or "hotel". We research keywords in French for each market you target, among France, Belgium, Switzerland, Quebec and French-speaking Africa, cover the spelling and vocabulary variants and group the list by the pages of your site. You see where one French page is enough and where a market needs its own wording.

What is included

  • What you getA French keyword table for your target markets, grouped by the pages of your site, with intent, relative priority and notes where wording differs between markets. You get it on the order page and as an Excel file.

  • Accent spellingsWith and without accents where searches split
  • AnglicismsWhere French users search in English words

What we need from you

Your site or business, the French-speaking markets you target, your English keywords if you have them, competitor sites in those markets and whether you sell to businesses or consumers.

We will ask you:

  • What is your site or business?
  • Which French-speaking markets do you target?
  • Do you have keywords in English or another language?
  • Do you sell to businesses or consumers?

Questions and answers

Can one French site serve France and Quebec?

For many topics yes, with neutral wording. For retail, food and everyday services the vocabulary differs enough that separate pages with hreflang work better, and we mark those cases.

Do French users really search without accents?

Many do, especially on phones. Search engines often treat both spellings alike, but not always, so we list both where the results differ.

Do you translate the French version of the site as well?

Not in this order. Translation is a separate service in our catalog, and this list helps it use the words French speakers actually search for.
