FAQs
-
Corporate programs are usually scoped as retainers based on network size and goals.
Individual franchisee programs run on standardized monthly plans, so every location gets consistent service at predictable cost.
-
We start by building a location page layout and a content governance structure that map each city or neighborhood term to a single page. Then we identify location-specific variables, which can include features and services that may vary from one franchisee to another, and ensure they are represented within the content.
As we build long-term relationships with our clients, we audit websites and pages regularly to catch overlap early.
-
Both models work. Some brands roll our services out as a required network-wide program, while others let each franchisee opt in individually.
-
We work with most modern platforms, including headless CMS setups like Contentful, where we’re a Solution Partner, and can advise if a migration would meaningfully improve performance.
-
It means your site’s content and data are structured so tools like Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based agents can read and act on it accurately, not just crawl it for ranking.
-
Most clients see initial movement within 3 to 6 months. Full network-wide results build over time, especially for larger rollouts with more locations to bring online.
-
We build layouts with locked brand elements and flexible local content fields, so each franchisee can speak to their neighborhood without drifting off-brand.
