Franchise Reputation Management in Chandler, AZ
Why Franchisors Search for ‘Franchise Reputation Management’
One bad location can dent the whole brand. A slow response, a messy profile, or a news blip — and suddenly trust slides. At scale, reputation is an operations problem as much as a marketing one. You need controls, alerts, and scripts that keep every unit on-brand and on-time.
We help franchisors build a steady, compliant system: watch reviews and mentions, respond fast, fix root causes, and show improvement in clear dashboards. Simple, repeatable, safe.
Why Choose Our Reputation Program
From our Chandler, AZ HQ, we manage franchise reputation for brands nationwide. We centralize policies, deploy local playbooks, and track what matters: response time, resolved issues, ratings by region, and impact on leads. No chaos. No guesswork.
“We went from reactive to proactive. FirmIQ set standards, trained our teams, and our national rating climbed from 3.8 to 4.4 in two quarters.” — Jamie L., Franchise CMO
Our Approach
Think of it like your brand’s safety rails. Corporate sets the rules; locations operate within them. We handle:
- Governance: brand voice guide, response templates, escalation paths.
- Monitoring: reviews, ratings, local news mentions, and social signals.
- Response Ops: same-day replies, negative review triage, follow-up checks.
- Training: quick micro-courses for managers and frontline staff.
- Remediation: find root issues (hours, staff, service) and loop ops to fix.
- Reporting: unit → region → brand roll-ups with KPIs leaders actually use.
Pricing — Brand + Per-Location
We keep it clear: a brand governance fee plus a per-location rate. Scales clean as you grow — no weird hidden fees, ever.
