Catalan Backlinks for Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearics and Andorra

In the Catalan-speaking territories almost everyone reads Spanish, and that leads many businesses to treat Catalan as optional. The best way to build "Catalan backlinks, but better yet, backlinks for your Catalan-language site" is to contact us directly. Catalan deserves its own links, built on Catalan outlets and pointed at Catalan pages.

The claim that backlinks are over comes round about once a year, and each time the answer is the same: backlinks still matter no matter the date. Speed, content and how a Catalan site is organised also count, and we review all three. But without some really good backlinks, a Catalan page will never pop up in search, will not rank and will be drowned out by the competition. Links remain a major indicator that a page should even be looked at by search engines and by AI search: Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity and Copilot all draw on pages that other sites cite.

The size of the field works in your favour. A Spanish page competes with pages from across the Spanish-speaking world; a Catalan page competes with far fewer. A handful of relevant Catalan links can move it a long way.

Catalan is spoken across Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and Andorra, with smaller communities in Northern Catalonia in France, the eastern fringe of Aragon and the town of L'Alguer in Sardinia. Each territory has its own media, its own regional identity and its own preferred forms.

Valencia is the case to handle with care. There the language is officially called Valencian, it has its own language academy, and many people prefer that name and some forms of spelling and vocabulary that go with it. Linguists treat it as the same language, but a page or an article aimed at Valencia should read as Valencian. There is no separate hreflang code for it, so Valencian pages are tagged ca, and the writing and the links do the work of showing who they are for.

Catalan has a full media world of its own. We look for outlets with editors and readers:

• Catalan-language national media. Newspapers, broadcasters' sites and digital outlets published in Catalan, where expert articles and features earn a place.
• Regional and county news. Girona, Lleida, Tarragona, the Valencian cities, Mallorca, Menorca, Eivissa and Andorra, read by the customers a local business needs.
• Niche blogs. Catalan writers on food and wine, hiking, culture, family, technology and business.
• Cultural and community sites. Associations, festivals and local organisations, many on .cat.
• Directories. Catalan business listings that confirm your name, location and service.

Get Found has a large network of authors and outlets, and every placement goes through one test: we reject poor and spammy websites unrelated to your product or service. Our relationships are with Catalan PR outlets, the owners of niche Catalan blogs, influencers, and sites with genuine readers that pass on real authority.

And the translated-site problem applies here as much as anywhere. A Catalan section machine-translated from Spanish, with only English or Spanish links behind it, reads to search engines as a copy nobody local cares about. A Catalan page written by a native author and cited by Catalan outlets gives search engines a reason to treat it as part of the Catalan web and rank it alongside other Catalan pages.
