In France, link building is usually called netlinking. French publishers write for French readers in French, and English proficiency is only mid-table, so local-language content matters.

FAQ
French link building FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most about link building in France. Chat with us if you have others.
What does French link building cost?
The price depends on the site’s authority (DA/DR), its traffic and how competitive the niche is. You see the sites and their prices before you approve anything. Tell us what you need and we’ll send a shortlist.
Is Google the main search engine in France?
Yes. About 88.2% of searches in France go through Google (September 2026), according to StatCounter. That is why we plan your links around Google’s guidelines.
Do people in France read English, and do I still need French links?
France is #38 of 123 in the EF English Proficiency Index 2025 (score 539), according to EF EPI 2025. English proficiency is lower there, so French-language content matters even more. That is why we place links with French-language content on .fr sites, and you approve it before it is published.
What is link building called in France?
In France, link building is usually called netlinking. We place links on French sites with French-language content, and you approve it before it is published.
Is the content written in French?
Yes. Placements on .fr sites use French-language content, and you approve it before it is published.
Will a placement be marked as sponsored?
Sometimes. It depends on the publisher and the country: some label paid content, and in some markets the law requires it. If a placement will carry a label, we tell you before you approve the site, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Is paying for links against Google’s rules?
Google’s spam policies (updated August 2026) say buying or selling links for ranking purposes is link spam, and that paid links are acceptable when they are marked rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". That’s why we tell you, before you approve a site, whether a placement will be labeled. We can’t promise how Google treats any single link. Our guides to buying backlinks and link rel attributes explain more.
Are the links dofollow?
It depends on the publisher. Many placements are normal followed links, but some publishers mark paid links as sponsored or nofollow, and in some countries the law requires it. We check the link attribute before we place your link, and we tell you before you approve the site if it will be marked.
How long until my links go live, and how do I follow progress?
Links usually go live within 24–72 hours after you approve the content.
Your dedicated account manager shares a Google Sheet with you and updates it daily with active links and their status. When the order is complete, we send an Excel file for you to verify. We can adapt to other reporting systems if you have specific requirements.
