Editor's Notes
- #5: 67?Million people 73% have a smartphone 12 Million bought on mobile in 2017 One third of french people speak exclusively french
- #6: Speaking about the french language…
- #7: France’s history leads to a population nearly multiplicated by four when speaking about the french language Fifth language in the world Still far away from the more than 1 Billion english speakers though
- #8: All those people speak french, but not all the same way Quebecois have their own words. And LOVE / HATE Anglicism depending on the context (parking > stationnement)
- #9: TANK TOP VS STRAIGHTJACKET
- #10: DOLL VS PROSTITUTE And Don’t forget ??patois?? (padiaus) and accents. There are also geographical specificities between the different french regions : cf. war of the ??pain au chocolat?? / ??chocolatine?? - sac plastique / poche
- #11: We also have neighbours with linguistic specificities Often a very wrong idea to redirect automatically
- #12: French SEO needs correct french orthograph : use the correct accents, or it’ll be considered as an orthographic error
- #13: We love to be different : use the region/language configuration in windows to change your keyboard configuration Useful in a lot of cases for some special characters
- #17: Sources : https://www.anglaisfacile.com/exercices/exercice-anglais-2/exercice-anglais-57289.php
- #21: Money is taboo in France : There is a widely spread sentiment of shame to earn a lot of money. French people use less money as a sign of welfare than the rest of the world High price is the first characteristic of a premium product for 56% of the french people (worldwide average 31%)
- #22: LUXURY CRUISE VS DISCOUNT CRUISE
- #23: LOCAL IMPLANTATION AND VISIBILITY IS ESSENTIAL THE PRESENCE IN STORES IS THE MAIN WAY TO DISCOVER NEW PRODUCTS IN France > 60% // 48% IN THE WORLD https://www.nielsen.com/fr/fr/insights/reports/2015/le-magasin--premier-media-de-communication-pour-les-nouveaux-pro.print.html
- #24: https://www.nielsen.com/fr/fr/insights/news/2018/grande-consommation-e-commerce-la-france-championne-europe.html In 2017, 20% of the conveniance goods consumption growth was due to Drive systems ALSO INTO CREDIT CARD ONLINE PAIMENT (systems like paypal are not much used, neither paiment on delivery which is marginal)

- #26: https://www.nielsen.com/fr/fr/insights/reports/2016/l-e-commerce-abolit-les-frontieres-et-devient-mobile.html WORLD 57% UK 52% DE 73 % IT 79 % USA 29 %
- #28: Black hat is a large part of the basis that each SEO with a long experience has tested or practiced
- #30: LOCAL IN UK : more respectful of Google’s guidelines
- #31: So many competitiveness that they spam the specific local areas (districts)
- #36: PURE PLAYERS AND LITTLE BUSINESS KEEP A SHOT AT IT, EVEN FOR VERY POPULAR BRANDS
- #39: SEO in France is done the same way as everywhere else. The greater specifities are intimately linked with the language and the psychology of the targets :
