Our franchise SEO services consider a complete, cross-platform spectrum of on-site and off-site strategies, rooted in our Search First® approach. Unlike some agencies that solely rely on automated tools and software to lay the groundwork, we combine professional intelligence and strategic thought to build client success. We collaborate with your franchise’s media and marketing teams to cultivate maximum local SEO value for each location.
We combine tools and discovery process to extract a location’s complete citation profile and overall health. This process both identifies inaccurate and damaging citations and claims those listings to correct information. Concurrently, we find new citation opportunities in which a location is not present and create new listings to continue growing an overall citation profile.
A typical SEO program for a multi-location franchise involves on-site and off-site components. On-site SEO strategy addresses the factors that impact how both Google and users interact with a site, such as content structure, keyword optimization, and technical SEO. Off-site SEO strategy, meanwhile, emphasizes Google Business Profile pages, citations and listings management, review generation, and link building. Each of our unique franchise SEO programs combine these core components to build the best plan for your business.
We usually start by determining a client’s KPIs, or Key Performance Indicators. Then, we set up proper goals in Google Analytics to accommodate these KPIs. In most cases, our franchise SEO agency also tracks keyword rankings in both Google Maps 3-pack and organic listings, organic search traffic, user behavior metrics, conversions, and external signals like new links and reviews.
