Working with Paris

Fashion, luxury and La Défense.

Paris is known for fashion, luxury, beauty and food, with a major business district at La Défense and a large tourism trade. French shoppers expect French, and the law asks for it in advertising.

01Fashion, beauty and luxury

Brand first, then performance

Paris brands guard their image closely. Shopping, Performance Max and Meta are set up so brand searches stay separate, creative stays on brand, and prospecting is judged on new customers and profit.

  • Brand exclusions in Performance Max
  • Creative approved before it runs
  • New customers reported separately
02B2B and services

Leads from La Défense to the regions

Consultancies, software firms and service businesses in La Défense and central Paris sell to buyers across France. Search, LinkedIn and Microsoft Ads run in French, judged on qualified leads and signed work.

  • French keyword lists by service
  • LinkedIn by role and sector
  • Leads tracked to signed work
03French language and the law

Ads in French, by design

France's Toubon law expects advertising aimed at French consumers to be in French. We run French campaigns with French keywords, ads and landing pages, using copy you approve, and keep English for audiences that need it.

  • French copy approved before launch
  • Landing pages in matching language
  • English kept to international audiences
Costs

How much does it cost to advertise on Google in Paris?

There are two parts to the cost of PPC in Paris: what you pay the ad platforms for clicks, and what you pay us to run the account.

01

Your ad budget, paid to the platforms

The money for clicks goes straight from your card to Google, Microsoft, Meta or TikTok, in EUR. You set it, you can see every charge, and it stays in your accounts.

02

Our fixed monthly fee

One fixed fee for running the account, agreed in writing once we understand your channels and goals. No percentage of spend, so we have no reason to push your budget up.

03

What decides the cost per click in Paris

Competition for your search terms, your margins and the area you target. Busy sectors and city-centre postcodes cost more per click, which is why we start with the searches and areas that already sell.

The local calendar

The French year, in the right order.

French sales dates are set nationally, and the year has its own rhythm. These are the moments Paris campaigns follow.

JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec
January

Les soldes d'hiver

The winter sales run on national dates set by the state. Feeds, promotions and budgets switch over on the first morning, not the day after.

Late February to early March

Paris Fashion Week

The womenswear shows, which return in late September, put the city's labels in front of buyers and press. Brands plan launches and Meta creative around both seasons.

June

VivaTech

The tech conference brings start-ups, investors and large companies to Paris. B2B software firms plan LinkedIn and Search around it.

Late June

Les soldes d'été

The summer sales begin on national dates. Sale prices go into the feed on the opening day and budgets rise for the first weeks.

September

La rentrée

France returns from the summer break all at once. B2B demand restarts, school and office spending peaks, and campaigns paused for August come back.

Late November

Black Friday

French retailers now run Black Friday ahead of Christmas. Promotions go into the feed early and budgets rise in steps through November.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you have an office in Paris?

No. We have no Paris office and no staff in France. We are a remote team on UK hours, one hour behind Paris, so most of your working day overlaps with ours. We work with Paris businesses by video call, email and shared dashboards.

Do your ads follow French language rules?

Yes. Campaigns aimed at French consumers run in French, with French keywords, ads and landing pages, in line with the Toubon law. French copy comes from you or a translator you trust and is approved before launch. English is kept for international audiences.

How do you handle GDPR and French cookie rules?

French cookie rules, enforced by the CNIL, expect refusing cookies to be as easy as accepting them. We check your banner sends the right Consent Mode v2 signals and that measurement holds up; the legal wording stays with your adviser.

Can you run France alongside other markets?

Yes. Each country gets its own feed, language, prices and dates, measured on its own. One UK and EU skincare account we run covers six markets, France and Germany among them, from a single account.

How do you report?

Each month you get a dashboard with spend, revenue, return and the changes we made, in euro where the account runs in euro. It leads with profit and new customers, and where a number fell it is shown.

Is PPC the same as Google advertising?

Yes, mostly. PPC means pay per click: you pay when someone clicks your ad. Google Ads is the biggest PPC platform, but the same model runs on Microsoft Ads (Bing), Facebook and Instagram, TikTok and Amazon. For Paris businesses we usually start with Google and add the others where they pay back.

How much should a Paris business spend on Google Ads?

Enough to buy a meaningful number of clicks on the searches that sell, then more as the numbers prove themselves. We look at your margins, average order or lead value and the competition for your terms before suggesting a budget, and the budget calculator on our site gives a first estimate.

How soon will we see results?

Search ads can bring enquiries and sales within days of going live. The bigger gains come over the first two to three months, as tracking is fixed, wasted searches are cut and budget moves to what converts. You see every change and the effect in the monthly report.
