How to get started with franchise marketing
Your business needs more than a hope of natural growth. You need to put forth active effort in marketing including developing your website, content, advertising, and SEO technique in order to grow your franchise. Here’s how to get started.
Is website development important for franchises?
Franchises need a digital hub just as much as any other business. Medical centers, pet care, personal services, whatever your franchise falls under, a well-run website is the place to start with your marketing efforts.
However, the journey doesn’t end with the website’s creation. You need to continuously maintain and update your site. Make sure your website includes accurate contact information, details about your services, branch location, and what your franchise is about. As you progress, consider developing compelling content, enhancing digital advertising, and expanding your SEO efforts. Your marketing budget can guide decisions on allocating resources to website development.
What is search engine optimization for franchises?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a powerful tool to boost your website traffic and rank higher in search engine results. Achieving this involves incorporating relevant keywords into your content, conducting market research, and addressing the questions your audience is actively searching for.
People continually seek answers to their questions and inquiries, creating a constant flow of traffic for businesses, including franchises. This is where your SEO efforts come into play. Effective keyword optimization increases your website’s ranking and visibility, and ensures your site is prioritized over your competitors’, resulting in a positive impact on your business performance.
Best practices for SEO efforts for franchises include making sure all your locations are accurately listed on Google maps, using location-based keywords, maintaining consistent branding across all locations, and encouraging customers to leave reviews for each location.
What is digital advertising?
Digital advertising encompasses all content you put out on digital platforms. That includes a diverse array of mediums such as social media ads, banners, interactive landing pages, targeted email campaigns, and commercials.Paired strategically with your content marketing, SEO efforts, and social media presence, digital advertising is an important tool for expanding each branch of your franchise. A localized strategy works exceptionally well, allowing tailored branding efforts for specific locations. Implementing local paid search campaigns, localized display ads, and targeted video campaigns can be particularly effective when showcasing multiple businesses.
List each branch on Google My Business to significantly enhance your chances of being featured when potential customers search for your services within the vicinity of any of your branches.
Do you need to worry about social media marketing for your franchise?
A comprehensive marketing strategy requires an active presence on social media, and franchises are no exception. Whether you have two or ten locations, harnessing the power of social media platforms is essential for building brand awareness.
When you include social media in your marketing strategy, you're opening the doors to organic brand awareness, increased sales, and more leads by communicating with potential customers. Social media posts often become the space where people ask questions about the business or products. By engaging with your audience, you build brand trust and better your chances for lead generation.
Many franchisees choose to be fun or playful with their posts. Others are serious and informative. Whatever approach you choose for your franchise, your messaging needs to be consistent for all your locations since it represents the entire brand. Combine your social media engagement strategy with digital advertising efforts so you're reaching your target audience from multiple angles.
What does content marketing include for franchises?
Content marketing involves the creation and distribution of online resources to establish your brand as a trusted resource.. This includes formats such as blog posts, eBooks, podcast episodes, videos, or any digital material that adds value.
As a franchise, your content development should align seamlessly with the services you offer. For instance, health and fitness franchises can publish informative blog posts about healthy habits or instructional training videos. Similarly, pet services can provide engaging podcast posts on pet care or the latest in veterinary medical breakthroughs. The possibilities are endless for the type of content your franchise can produce.
Before jumping into production, it's important to first start off with strategy. You want to make sure you provide content that people will actually benefit from. That begins with learning what your target audience is searching for and answering those questions in your material. It also involves developing a content calendar so your posts are consistent and organized. Incorporate SEO keywords to enhance visibility and effectively build your brand through valuable content.
We’re ready when you are to start scaling your franchise.
