Franchise Local SEO in Chandler, AZ
Why Franchisors Search for ‘Franchise Local SEO’
Local search wins the first call. But with 10, 50, or 500 locations, chaos creeps in — messy NAP data, half-built profiles, random city pages, and reviews no one’s watching. One off-brand listing can harm the whole system. You need consistency and speed. Also proof that each unit is actually getting found.
Our team builds franchisor-first Local SEO systems: centralized rules, local flexibility, location-level reporting. Clean, compliant, repeatable. So every market has a shot to rank in Google Maps and local organic — without breaking brand standards.
Why Choose Our Franchise Local SEO Program
We operate from Chandler, AZ and serve franchise brands nationwide. We manage Google Business Profiles at scale, protect your NAP, fuel ethical review growth, and publish unique city/area content that doesn’t look copy-paste. You get dashboards that roll up by unit, region, and brand — so finance and ops can see real outcomes, not just clicks.
“We were juggling 70 GBPs with different names and hours. FirmIQ standardized everything and Map Pack positions jumped in 90 days.” — Elise R., VP Marketing, national franchise
Our Approach
Think of this like opening standardized storefronts online. Each location gets the same foundation, then local flair. The process is predictable, like your operations manual:
- Audit & Align: inventory all GBPs, categories, names, hours, services; fix NAP and duplicates.
- Profiles at Scale: corporate-approved copy, photos, services, and posts — localized per market.
- Reviews Engine: compliant, steady review requests by unit; response playbook for brand voice.
- Local Content: unique city pages and neighborhood notes — no thin duplicates.
- Citations & Data: sync core/legal/industry listings with bulk updates.
- Measurement: geo-grid coverage, calls, forms, and signed appointments per location.
Franchise Local SEO Pricing
Budgets scale by unit count and competition. Most franchisors invest a brand fee for governance + a per-location fee for execution. No weird hidden fees — never made sense to us.

---|---|---|---|
Core | 10–25 locations | GBP cleanup, baseline posts, review asks, 1 city page/unit, monthly roll-up | $2,500/mo brand + $150–$250/location |
Growth | 25–100 locations | Bulk GBP ops, advanced categories, review automation, 2 city pages/unit, geo-grids | $4,500/mo brand + $200–$350/location |
Enterprise | 100+ locations | API feeds, LLM content assist + human edit, citation sync, spam defense, weekly dashboards | $8,000+/mo brand + custom/location |
Note: We only support staffed locations with accurate hours & names. Protects rankings and your brand, frankly.
