Linkmi is French-friendly. LinkForge is Google-friendly.

Linkmi (linkmi.co) gained traction among francophone creators for clean design and quick setup. Fair product — but like most link-in-bio tools, it prioritizes bio click convenience over search engine architecture.

LinkForge was engineered for creators who want their name to appear when someone Googles them. Server-side rendering, automatic XML sitemaps, ProfilePage JSON-LD, EU-first hosting, and Pro at €7/month — compared to Linkmi's client-rendered pages and premium tiers that still omit core SEO infrastructure.

For the France market, where GDPR awareness and branded search matter, the gap is measurable.

Linkmi matches LinkForge on design simplicity. LinkForge dominates on indexation mechanics.

Three technical gaps that cost Linkmi users rankings

1. No server-side rendering

Googlebot receives Linkmi pages as JavaScript-dependent shells. Bio paragraphs and link anchor text may not appear in the initial HTML snapshot. Branded queries like "prénom nom liens" return Instagram or nothing.

LinkForge delivers full HTML in the first response — the same pattern used by sites that reliably rank.

2. No sitemap discovery path

Without inclusion in a crawlable XML sitemap, Google discovers your Linkmi page only through external backlinks. Most micro-creators lack enough links to trigger consistent indexation.

LinkForge adds every published page to its sitemap and links creator profiles from the marketing site — an internal discovery loop Linkmi does not replicate.

3. EU hosting and data sovereignty

French and EU creators increasingly care where bio page data lives. LinkForge operates with EU-first infrastructure and transparent GDPR practices.

Linkmi's hosting stack is less visible to users — a concern for professionals, coaches, and agencies serving EU clients.

Pricing: what you pay vs what Google gets

	LinkForge Free	LinkForge Pro	Linkmi
Price	€0	€7/month	Free + paid tiers
SSR indexable page	✅	✅	❌
ProfilePage schema	✅	✅	❌
Sitemap inclusion	✅	✅	❌
Custom domain	—	✅	Paid
Full SEO meta panel	Defaults	✅	Limited

Paying Linkmi premium does not unlock SSR or schema. Paying LinkForge Pro €7 unlocks domain + meta — on top of SEO defaults already active on Free.

France market context: Korli, Linkmi, Linktree

French creators often shortlist Linkmi, Korli, and Linktree. All three share the same SEO weakness: client-side bio pages without structured data.

LinkForge is the outlier built for "créateur + links" queries. See our best link-in-bio tool for France roundup for the full market picture.
