If your business is looking to expand its reach in Canada, there’s one strategic move you shouldn’t overlook: offering your website in French—especially if you want to connect with customers in Quebec, where French is not only the dominant language but also a key part of the culture and law.

At Gallipro, we help businesses grow by making sure their websites speak to the right audience—literally.

Here’s why going bilingual could be a game changer for your brand.

Reach Over 8 Million Francophone Customers

Quebec is home to over 8 million people, the vast majority of whom speak French. While many are bilingual, research shows customers prefer to shop in their native language—especially when it comes to online purchases and services.

Bilingual websites increase:

  • Trust and credibility
  • Time spent on site
  • Conversion rates in Quebec

Compliance With Quebec’s Language Laws

Quebec has strict language regulations under Bill 96, requiring French to be the primary language used in commerce, including digital platforms. Businesses operating in Quebec must present their websites, online stores, and service portals in French—or face penalties.

By offering a French version of your site, you:

  • Show cultural respect
  • Comply with local laws
  • Avoid legal trouble down the road

It’s Not Just Translation—It’s Localization

Translation is only half the battle. To truly connect with Quebec customers, your site needs to be localized—meaning your content, images, messaging, and even calls-to-action are adapted for a French-speaking audience.

At Gallipro, we focus on:

  • Human-quality translations (not just Google Translate)
  • Region-specific phrasing and cultural references
  • French-language SEO for better search rankings in Quebec

Improve Search Rankings With French SEO

Adding French content to your site opens the door to new keywords and higher rankings on Google.ca—especially for searchers located in Quebec or using French-language queries.

French SEO helps your business appear in:

  • Local Google search results
  • Quebec business directories
  • Voice search queries in French

How to Add French to Your Website

Whether your site is built on WordPress, Shopify, or custom code, adding a French version can be done easily with the right tools and support.

Here’s what we recommend:

  1. Add a language switcher on every page.
  2. Use hreflang tags to tell Google you support French and English.
  3. Translate core pages first (home, services, about, contact).
  4. Optimize French pages with region-specific keywords.
  5. Test the user experience for both languages.
