Why Traditional Franchise SEO Fails
Most franchises either give full SEO control to franchisees (creating brand chaos) or enforce rigid corporate control (killing local visibility). Both approaches fail to rank franchise locations effectively.
Franchisee SEO Conflicts
Franchisees compete with each other for the same keywords, bidding up ad costs and diluting brand authority. Nobody wins.
Brand Inconsistency
When franchisees manage their own SEO, brand messaging diverges. Some locations have outdated info, wrong pricing, or off-brand content.
Corporate Bottlenecks
Corporate-controlled SEO becomes a bottleneck. Franchisees wait weeks for simple GBP updates, causing missed local opportunities.
