Industries & channels
What are the basics of franchise marketing?
Franchise marketing runs on two levels. The franchisor handles national brand, website standards, campaigns and usually an ad fund; each location handles local presence. Locally, focus on a complete Google Business Profile per location, steady reviews, local social content showing your actual team and customers within brand guidelines, community involvement such as sponsorships and events, and partnerships with nearby businesses. Know your franchise agreement: what you can post, which templates you must use, and which ad channels are restricted. Track calls and bookings per location. McCrawAI helps franchise owners here: we plan local content inside brand rules, and we also produce it from real footage at your location.
