Driving Customers to Multi-Location Businesses with SEO and Digital Marketing

Driving traffic and customers to multi-location businesses with SEO and Digital Marketing.

Pertinent information for Restaurants, Regional Brands, National Brands and Business with multiple locations.

If you own a multi-location business or if you are part of a multi-location franchise the chances are high that your business location(s) is not dominating the search results for your niche. We see it all the time. A business with 10-200 locations being dominated by a similar size competitor that has their digital marketing together or you are being beat by a little mom-and-pop shop that hired the right local expert.

Reasons why your franchises and / or multi-location businesses don’t do well in local search.

1. Corporate Marketing
   • Branding is the primary mission. Your home office is concerned about brand marketing. They have hired a marketing team that is promoting the brand and worried about brand consistency. While this is great, and a part of the overall challenge it is not going to help you capture traffic from digital channels.
   • Local SEO is a specialized skill. Your corporate marketing team is really good at what they are good at but they don’t understand local digital marketing. Few people do. It is not taught in college, it is always changing and they may have a bad experience with a “SEO” firm that didn’t know what they were doing.
2. Local Competition
   • The local single location competitor is more likely to not have the branding and marketing support you have, but this just makes them nimbler. They scrapped together enough money to hire an agency like Seota that is really good at driving market share with digital.
   • They are not constrained by branding and style guides. The local competitor is letting Seota use online guerrilla marketing tactics that your home office won’t approve.
3. Other national and regional chains
   • Some regional and national changes have figured it out. They hired and Agency like Seota to come in and build a plan to attack the local markets and treat each stores as a single locations.
   • A chain of stores with a single location mindset has more tools and more budget to attack local. They have assets that smaller competition does not. With a proper budget we can have a regional chain driving HUGE year-over-year sales increases on a per store basis.
   • When you combine the Branding and Corporate Marketing being done by the home office with the multi-location local digital expertise of Seota you now have all the pieces to dominate local search for phrases that drive customers.

Seota has built our own set of tools to interact with “Google My Business” from Google Post to reports. Our tools give your local stores a distinct advantage.
