Alan announced that it is "officially live in Quebec as a licensed health insurer" with a "French-first" offer, and it is hiring bilingual support in Toronto and an AE for whom French is "a strong plus". But the French Canadian site has 5 pages against 20 in English. Plans and prices (Alan Bear from $128.50, Alan Marmot from $179.50 a month) exist only on the English pricing page, /fr-ca/tarifs sends visitors back to the French home page, the fr-ca Blog link opens the English blog, and the Quebec launch article itself is in English only. A Quebec HR lead who searches in French finds a French-first insurer that answers in English.

Why it works
Build the French path in the order buyers use it: a /fr-ca/tarifs page with both plans and a quote form, the Quebec launch article in French, French versions of the guides that already exist in English (switching group benefits, choosing a provider), and hreflang between each English and French pair. Point the fr-ca Blog link at a French blog. Then run French search and LinkedIn campaigns to the French pricing page, with demos routed to French-speaking AEs.
Quebec employers buy in French and compare prices before they book a call; the product, the licence and the bilingual team are ready, so the French pages are the missing step in the funnel. French pages also give search engines and AI assistants French content to cite when someone asks for a new group insurer in Quebec.

- Your websiteArticle "A new option for group insurance in Quebec" (English only, on /en-ca/blog): "Alan is now officially live in Quebec as a licensed health insurer, offering a fully digital, French-first alternative"; Quebec employers get "French-first onboarding and customer support"; "We didn't just translate our product. We built a Quebec-first health insurance solution"; "98% of claims reimbursed within one day"; Alan works with organizations "with up to 500 employees".Source
- Your websiteCanadian site (checked October 22, 2026): the sitemap lists 20 English (en-ca) pages but 5 French (fr-ca) pages: home, health insurance, three company-size pages and contact. There is no French pricing page (/fr-ca/tarifs redirects to the fr-ca home) and no French blog; the fr-ca menu's Blog link goes to the English /en-ca/blog, even though the fr-ca menu promises "une tarification claire et transparente". The English pricing page lists Alan Bear "From $128.50 per month" and Alan Marmot "From $179.50 per month".Source
