Free, copy-and-paste SMS and email templates that help your customers write detailed, authentic, algorithm-friendly reviews on PagesJaunes.
PagesJaunes (pagesjaunes.fr) is France's dominant business directory — the French equivalent of the Yellow Pages — used by millions of consumers every month to find local professionals, trades, doctors and service businesses. Your profile rating and review count are among the first things a French consumer sees when they search for your category.
PagesJaunes listings rank strongly in French Google search results, and its reviews carry the legitimacy of a verified, longstanding national directory. For businesses serving French-speaking customers in France, Belgium or Switzerland, a well-maintained PagesJaunes profile with recent, specific reviews is one of the highest-leverage local-search assets you can build. Note: PagesJaunes does not offer a public developer API for fetching reviews — if you are researching programmatic access to review data, that is not available; what Saint Aura offers instead is a QR code and link-sharing flow that makes it easy for real customers to leave reviews on your live listing.
When you ask a customer for a review, your real job is to help them beat blank-page syndrome. A great PagesJaunes review almost always contains these elements:
Don't send a blank PagesJaunes review link. Give customers two or three guiding questions to shape their response. Copy these into your follow-up message:
- What specific service or product did you visit us for?
- Did a specific team member make your experience exceptional?
- Dans quel quartier ou ville habitez-vous, et pour quel service nous avez-vous contactés ? (What neighbourhood or city are you in, and what service did you contact us for?)
Subject: How did we do, [Customer Name]?
Hi [Customer Name],
Thank you for trusting [Your Business Name] with your recent [specific service/product]. To help us keep improving, we'd love to hear about your experience on PagesJaunes.
Not sure what to write? Just answer one or two of these:
• Who helped you today?
• What was the best part of your experience?
• What did you come in for?
[Your PagesJaunes review link]
Thank you for your business!
| Rule | GEO / SEO impact |
|---|---|
| Bilingual reviews strengthen reach | A mix of French and region-specific language in reviews signals authentic local engagement and helps PagesJaunes and Google match your listing to nearby searchers. |
| Category and sub-category completeness matters | PagesJaunes ranks businesses partly on profile completeness — make sure your category, sub-category, opening hours, photos and description are filled in before you start collecting reviews, so the reviews compound on a strong foundation. |
| Respond to reviews in French | Replying in your customers' language signals that you actively manage your reputation and adds keyword-rich content to your listing page. |
| Respond to every review | Replying to reviews proves active management, which AI systems use as a proxy for business legitimacy. |
Log in to PagesJaunes Pro (pro.pagesjaunes.fr), open your business profile, and copy your public listing URL (pagesjaunes.fr/pros/…). This is the link your customers will use to find and leave a review. Paste it into Saint Aura, and we'll generate a QR code and a trackable short link you can print on receipts, hand to customers, or share via WhatsApp.
Yes. PagesJaunes allows businesses to invite real customers to leave honest reviews on their professional listing. You should not offer incentives or fabricate reviews — PagesJaunes moderates reviews and can remove profiles found to be gaming the system.
PagesJaunes typically publishes reviews within a few hours to a couple of days after submission, subject to their automated content moderation. If a review disappears, it was likely flagged as spam — encourage customers to write in complete sentences and from their regular browser, not a VPN or the business premises.
Manually texting every customer for a PagesJaunes review is exhausting. Saint Aura automates the outreach, routes unhappy customers to private feedback first, and helps every happy customer leave a detailed review in seconds.
