The France market picks tools for Instagram. Google picks tools for architecture.

French creators — influencers, coaches, artisans, musicians — need one URL in their Instagram bio. The usual shortlist: Korli, Linkmi, Linktree, sometimes Beacons or Taplink.

All four solve the bio click problem. Almost none solve the branded search problem: when a client, journalist, or fan searches "[votre nom] liens" on Google.

LinkForge enters the France conversation as the SEO-native option: server-rendered pages, ProfilePage JSON-LD, automatic sitemaps, EU-first hosting, and Pro at €7/month.

This is an honest market comparison — not a vanity ranking.

For Instagram → link clicks, Korli and Linkmi are fine. For Google → discovery, LinkForge is the only platform in this table built for indexation.

Korli: strong French UX, weak search stack

Korli (korli.fr) targets francophone creators with localized templates and community features. Creators praise the onboarding and aesthetic.

SEO limitation: Korli pages render client-side without ProfilePage schema or public sitemap inclusion. Paying premium does not change rendering architecture. Your "nom + liens" query competes with Instagram profiles, not a dedicated indexed hub.

LinkForge advantage: Same French-friendly bio experience with SSR HTML Google can read on first crawl. Detailed breakdown: LinkForge vs Korli France.

Linkmi: simple, fast, invisible to Google

Linkmi appeals to creators who want minimal setup. The tradeoff is identical to Korli — CSR pages, no structured data, no crawl discovery path.

French micro-influencers on Linkmi report strong Instagram CTR but zero Google impressions for branded queries. That is expected given the architecture.

See LinkForge vs Linkmi for the technical side-by-side.

Linktree: global default, French SEO dead end

Linktree remains the default recommendation — often by habit, not merit. In France, Linktree Premium costs roughly €22–24/month for custom domain and partial meta control — without SSR or schema.

LinkForge Pro at €7 includes domain, full SEO panel, analytics, and AI insights. Free tier already beats Linktree on indexation defaults.

Migration guide: Linktree → LinkForge.

Why SEO matters for French creators specifically

Branded search beyond Instagram

Clients research coaches, photographers, and consultants on Google before DMing. An indexed bio page with your services, Calendly, and portfolio links converts research into bookings.

GDPR and EU data residency

French professionals serving B2B clients care where page data is stored. LinkForge's EU-first approach aligns with common compliance expectations.

Multilingual reach

Creators targeting France + Belgium + Switzerland + Francophone Africa benefit from indexable French bio copy with hreflang-ready marketing infrastructure.
