Generating strong organic search volume for a franchise is more than helpful – it might just be the factor that determines the long-term success of the franchise.  A franchise that is not benefiting from strong organic search scores should seek the advice of an SEO consulting service.  An SEO consulting service will quickly analyze the performance and find innovative ways to improve organic ranking without making any changes to the branded image or digital media approach whatsoever.  The benefit of franchise SEO consulting services is that the branch will generate more local traffic (both on foot and online) without having to spend exorbitant fees on PPC advertising.

The Insights on Franchise SEO Services

Franchise SEO is a challenging pursuit that cannot be taken lightly.   The unique aspect of franchise SEO work is that it must be incredibly localized, while at the same time remain connected to the national company.  A franchise usually exists in one region of the country and is responsible for attracting consistent local interest.  From an SEO perspective, that means keyword terms and long-tail keyword phrases must be extremely localized, reflecting the search queries of people in one particular region only.  This kind of approach will bring in good quality traffic, because people searching in a localized region are already interested in what the franchise has to offer.

There are many other franchise SEO techniques that can draw organic traffic – but only if the fundamentals are in place first.  Often times the franchise will not even have their own site, preferring instead to update a page on the national companies site.  From an SEO perspective this is harmful and makes it near impossible to target local search queries.  So the first step is to use a subdomain and create an individual site for the franchise.
