Do you work with the franchisor or individual franchisees?
We partner at the franchisor/headquarters level. This gives us one strategic relationship while we execute marketing across every single location. We communicate directly with franchise owners so corporate doesn't have to manage it.
What's the minimum number of locations to get started?
There's no minimum. We work with brands at 1 location all the way to 250+. Whether you're a budding franchise or an established system, we have programs that fit your stage.
How much does it cost?
Our programs start at just a few hundred dollars per location per month. We intentionally keep it affordable because we know franchisees don't have a $2K/month marketing budget in the early stages. As locations grow, we scale with them.
Can you be included in our FDD?
Yes. We become the recommended marketing partner in your Franchise Disclosure Document. This means every new franchisee knows exactly who handles their marketing from day one.
Why should we use a third party instead of doing marketing in-house?
When corporate does marketing in-house and it doesn't work, franchisees blame headquarters. A third-party partner absorbs that risk. We handle the execution, we communicate directly with owners, and corporate maintains a positive relationship with their franchisees. It's like having a bookkeeper or accountant — specialized work handled by specialists.
What industries do you work with?
We work across every franchise industry — salons, home services, restaurants, pet care, wellness, fitness, swim schools, food service, and more. If you have locations that need local customers, we can help.
How is this different from Scorpion or other large franchise marketing companies?
Large agencies treat you like an account number. You sign a 2-year contract, spend thousands per month, and get generic results. We assign a dedicated team to your brand, keep pricing affordable, and build real relationships. We show up to your roundtable calls and annual conferences. We're a partner, not a vendor.
What if my franchisees aren't tech-savvy and won't participate?
Most won't — and that's fine. We handle everything. The only things we ask from franchise owners: send us project photos from their iPhone, respond to our occasional requests for a headshot or short video, and keep earning reviews. Even franchisees who barely participate see results because our team does the heavy lifting. The ones who engage more see dramatically better results.
What happens when a franchisee's territory doesn't match a clean city name?
This is one of the most common challenges in franchise marketing. Territories are drawn based on zip codes and demographics, not marketing boundaries. We build location pages around the cities with actual search volume, create metro pages for overlapping territories, and use service area optimization so every franchisee gets coverage — even when their territory doesn't match a city name Google recognizes.
Can you help franchisees who are brand new with zero online presence?
That's where we do our best work. A brand new Google Business Profile with zero reviews, zero posts, and zero history is actually the most important time to get marketing right. We claim and optimize their GBP, build their location page, set up review collection systems, and start creating local signals from day one. The sooner you start, the faster you rank — waiting six months means six months of lost momentum you'll never get back.
