Soumettre

What Soumettre does

Soumettre.fr is a French SEO netlinking platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in northern France. The company operates a two-sided marketplace connecting advertisers and SEO agencies with a catalogue of 50,000+ (claimed 67,258) partner media sites, enabling the purchase of dofollow backlinks and sponsored article placements starting at €10 per publication. Beyond self-serve catalogue ordering, Soumettre offers fully managed "clé-en-main" (turnkey) campaigns in which its team handles media selection, content writing, and publication, as well as dedicated press relations services and SEO-tuned editorial content.

The platform is differentiated by a layered service model (self-serve + managed + premium "Soumettre Expert") and by adjacent offerings including a public API (live since October 2023), a WordPress publisher plugin, agency-specific sub-accounts, and CitaBoost — a branded service targeting brand citation in LLM-driven search (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity). More recent additions include FlashSEO (June 2025) and a VIP tier, alongside continuous catalogue enhancements such as spot indexing rate indicators and expanded filtering metrics (Trust Flow, traffic, thematic categories).

Commercially, Soumettre generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on netlinking orders and professional services for managed campaigns and press relations, supplemented by a referral (parrainage) program paying 5% lifetime commission. Its primary customer segments are SEO agencies, independent SEO consultants, and direct advertisers, served through both product-led self-serve onboarding and direct enterprise sales. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
