How much does SEO in France cost?
With Aardvarks Digital, a French SEO audit costs €490 to €890, or €890 plus €275 per extra language or country when France is one market among several. Monthly SEO in France, done for you, costs €890 or €1,490 a month. Content, links, AI visibility (GEO) and Google Ads can also be bought on their own.
Every price is calculated on a day rate of €550 (€275 for half a day), shown on this page and written into your quote before I start. Monthly plans have no minimum term. I don’t charge VAT: the price shown is the price on the invoice.

Plan or separate services?
Why the Starter plan costs less than buying the parts
The Starter plan at €890 a month includes the technical work, 4 pieces of French content and 3 French links a month, with reporting. Bought separately, the same content and links cost more, and come without the technical work.
Why a single article costs €190 and a page €20
Most of the time in a piece of content goes into the groundwork: understanding the French search, defining the page model and writing rules, collecting the information. Writing itself is the shortest part.
A single article
From €190
- All the groundwork for one page
- Research, outline, writing, proofreading
- For a one-off need
Pages at scale
€275 per brief, then €20 a page
- One brief per page type
- Spread over every page of that type
- Each page written from the brief
Product descriptions in batch
€5 each
- Product pages in volume
- One brief for the whole batch
- Proofread by sample
Example: 20 French category pages on the same model are one brief at €275 and 20 pages at €20, so €675. More on French SEO content.
