Franchises
For most franchisors, there are comprehensive marketing plans put in place for the overall franchise. This national plan can include everything from advertising campaigns, commercials on the radio, Internet advertising, social media, public relations, and direct mail efforts. With all this, the franchise is hoping to achieve well-established brand recognition nationwide. While all this is well and good for the entire franchise as a whole, many franchisees strive to make a greater impact in their local markets. This is where the problems can arise. Generally, franchisors do not provide marketing outlines for preparing strategies on a local level—leaving their local franchise owners hanging high and dry when it comes to creating local marketing strategies. Local franchisees will then turn to old tactics that seemed to be successful in the past—such as the promotion and planning of a “grand opening.” Local marketing efforts can also be difficult because there is often a strict set of rules put in place for the use of franchise trademarks in order to provide a consistent message to prospective and current customers. If all this is making your head spin, it should. But take a deep breath, because Revved Business is here to help.
Our team has worked with a variety of local franchises to assist in increasing their online visibility and lead generation. One of the most effective ways we’ve found to improve your franchise digital marketing strategies is to narrow your target market. Instead of opting to use a very general message to attract customers, focus on messages that appeal to your local clientele. At Revved Business, we understand that competing with other franchisors head to head is just part of the business, and we also understand that local startup franchises often find lead generation very difficult. Whether your franchise operates out of one or multiple locations, our team can focus our approach on local business optimization strategies that will distinguish you from other local competitors—even if they are owners of the same franchise. We’ll do our homework, determining exactly who your biggest competitors are, what type of services and pricing they offer, how they’re executing their digital marketing strategies, and where they rank in comparison.
Then, we’ll create a custom tailored plan to meet your exact needs and accomplish your goals. We’ll find a way to separate you from other similar franchises in the area, elevating your individual franchise to the top of the local search results.

The idea of local business optimization also includes the important of accurate business listings for your franchise, regardless of where they are found. Many of our clients are frequently surprised by how many places their company is listed. From Google, Yahoo and Bing, to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and review sites like Yelp and Angie’s list, your franchise should always have consistency and reliability in your online presence—which in turn, helps to contribute to consistency within your brand across the board. Information on all your listings should be accurate and optimized for lead generation. Many of these listings are also combined with online reviews. Reviews can be very important for local franchise businesses because they allow consumers to see other consumers’ experience with your product or service. In today’s world of mobile devices, the majority of consumers are checking online and reading reviews before making their final decisions to spend their money on your goods or services. Although you don’t always have full control over online reviews, it’s important that you monitor them and do your best to increase your number of online reviews. Our team at Revved Business can help with this, and we’ll guarantee that each of your listed business citations on any and all review sites is correct.
