Franchise SEO
Built for Multi-Location Brands
National authority and local rankings, run as one system. We connect corporate domain authority, location pages, and Google Business Profiles so franchise systems stop competing with themselves.
The Challenge
Generic SEO advice doesn't scale to 50 locations.
Most SEO playbooks assume one website, one location, one set of keywords. Franchise systems break that model. Your corporate site has to rank for franchise opportunity terms ("franchise opportunities," "best franchise to buy"). Your location pages have to rank for local consumer terms ("dry cleaning near me"). Your franchisees might also have their own sites or Google Business Profiles. National strategy and local execution pull in different directions, and the agency that's running ads for you is usually not the same one handling local SEO. Things slip.
Our Approach
National authority and local rankings, run as one system.
We run franchise SEO as three connected layers, because that's how franchise search actually works. National authority sits with the corporate site - the domain Google trusts to rank franchise opportunity terms, industry queries, and brand searches. Location pages have to compete in their own markets with real content, schema, reviews, accurate NAP, and unique copy that isn't a templated find-and-replace. And Google Business Profiles are the single highest-impact local channel for most consumer franchise brands - and the one most franchisees neglect.
What's Included
Deliverables
National authority SEO
Technical SEO, content depth, internal linking, and authority building so the corporate domain ranks for high-value franchise development keywords. When the corporate site is strong, every location benefits.
Location pages and local search
We fix templated location pages so each one can compete in its own market - real content, schema markup, embedded reviews, accurate NAP data, location-specific photos, and unique copy.
Google Business Profiles at scale
We set up GBPs at scale, train franchisees on what to post, monitor reviews, and fix listings that are wrong, duplicated, or marked as closed.
Technical SEO
Audits and fixes for Core Web Vitals, schema, sitemap, canonicals, and internal linking across the corporate site and location templates.
Content strategy
Content built for both franchise development search (opportunity terms, FDD-aligned topics) and consumer search at the location level.
Reporting
Monthly reporting that shows ranking changes by location and by keyword cluster - not vanity metrics.
