Franchise Digital Marketing

Franchise Digital Marketing That Drives An Increasing AUV

Solutions Built Specifically For Franchises and Multi-location Businesses. SEOteric helps franchise businesses attract potential franchisees and improve local store sales using localized digital marketing strategies. The top four things potential franchisees want to see in a franchisor is Product, Culture, AUV (average unit volume) and Net (Net profitability per store).

Our franchise digital marketing approach helps brands improve the attractiveness of their franchise offering by helping create more appeal around the product and culture, and by increasing store level sales metrics. We've helped franchise locations see a 300% or more increase in conversions and actions that lead to revenue opportunities. Our process helps each location increase organic SEO rankings in Google Maps (local listings) and organic listings. We also often pair this with Google Ads and social media marketing to create a customized and local approach to each individual location.

Franchise Local SEO

Capture Search Demand

Local Franchise SEO

Franchise Local SEO is used to optimize each individual location of a franchise business for search engines. This is crucial for franchises because they operate in multiple locations, and each location needs to be visible and easily found by local customers. The goal of franchise local SEO is to improve the online presence of each franchise location in local search results, which can drive more traffic and increase sales.

The process of franchise local SEO involves several key steps. Each location needs to have its own unique, localized content on the website. This includes the address, phone number, and business hours, as well as information about the products or services offered at that specific location. Locations should be listed in local business directories and on Google My Business, with accurate and consistent information. We'll help you manage all aspects of each location's SEO, in both map listings and organic listings.

Franchise Local Advertising

Google Ads for Franchise Locations

Google Ads for franchise locations is a powerful tool that can help franchise businesses attract more customers and increase their sales. This advertising platform allows franchises to create targeted ads that appear in Google's search results and in Google Maps. These ads can be customized to reach potential customers in specific geographic locations, making them particularly effective for franchises with multiple locations. We've helped franchisors set up and manage brand level accounts for all locations as well as individual accounts and campaigns for each location.

The use of Google Ads for franchise locations typically involves creating separate campaigns or ad groups for each location. This allows for more precise targeting and enables franchises to tailor their ads to the specific needs and interests of customers in different areas. For example, a franchise might run one set of ads for a location in a city center, and a different set for a location in a suburban area. Each ad can be optimized with location-specific keywords and ad copy to increase its relevance and effectiveness. Franchises can use Google Ads location extensions to show their business address, phone number, and a map marker along with their ads, making it easier for customers to find their locations. Google Ads also provides detailed analytics, so franchises can track the performance of their ads for each location and adjust their strategies as needed.

Franchise Lead Recruiting

Franchisee lead recruiting and marketing refers to the strategies and tactics used to attract potential franchisees to a franchise business. This is a critical aspect of franchise growth, as it helps to expand the franchise's reach and increase its market share. The goal of franchisee lead marketing is to generate interest among potential franchisees, provide them with the information they need to make an informed decision, and ultimately convert them into new franchise owners.

The process of franchisee lead marketing often begins with identifying the target audience. This could include individuals who are interested in starting their own business, existing business owners looking to diversify, or investors seeking new opportunities. Once the target audience is identified, the franchise can use a variety of marketing channels to reach these potential franchisees. This might include digital marketing strategies like search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and content marketing, as well as traditional marketing methods like trade shows and direct mail. Social media platforms and professional networking sites like LinkedIn can also be effective tools for reaching potential franchisees. The key is to clearly communicate the benefits of owning a franchise, such as the support and resources provided by the franchisor, the proven business model, and the potential for financial success. It's also important to provide clear and transparent information about the investment required and the process of becoming a franchisee.

SEOteric will help you craft the right message for your franchise and distribute that to your target audience across SEO, Google Ads, and Social Media. We also can leverage franchise search websites to give additional exposure and lead opportunities.
