A Simple and Effective Franchise SEO and Multi-Location Marketing Strategy


Our approach focuses on the three metrics that actually matter to your business: Phone Calls, Website Visitors, and Requests for Driving Directions. By combining Google Maps and Google Ads Performance Max campaigns, we drive retail traffic to your location using location based marketing. If your current SEO team spends more time on complicated reports than showing you actual traffic, then it’s time you reconsider your approach to your local marketing.

Learn More About Map Ranks Today

At Map Ranks, we specialize in helping franchise brands and local businesses dominate Google Maps. What sets us apart is our hands-on, done-for-you approach—our team doesn’t just provide tools, we actively optimize your Google Business Profiles every week with fresh posts, review responses, photo uploads, and proven strategies that move the needle.

Unlike traditional SEO agencies that focus only on websites or Google Ads, we’ve built a system around the single most important channel for local discovery: Google Maps. With over 25 years of digital marketing experience and more than 10,000 business listings optimized, we know what it takes to rank, convert, and grow.

For franchise brands, our process is streamlined across multiple locations—ensuring consistency, compliance, and measurable results. Whether it’s a single store or 500+ locations, we make sure your profiles are accurate, active, and outperforming the competition. Add in our optional Google Ads management and “Ranking Guarantee,” and you get a complete package that no other agency can match.

At Map Ranks, results aren’t based on guesswork—they’re measurable and transparent. We track progress using the metrics that matter most to franchise brands:

  • Google Maps Rankings: We monitor your keyword positions in Google’s local map results so you can see exactly where you stand against competitors.

  • Profile Engagement: Every post, photo, and update is tracked for views, clicks, and calls to measure how customers are interacting with your profiles.

  • Lead Generation: We report on the actions that drive real business—calls, website visits, direction requests, and form submissions directly from Google.

  • Location-Wide Reporting: For franchises, we provide clear dashboards that roll up results across all your locations, making it easy to compare performance and spot opportunities for growth.

With weekly optimizations and monthly reporting, you’ll always know how your investment is paying off. Our focus is simple: increased visibility, more engagement, and consistent new customers.

What Does the Service Include?
Map Ranks delivers a complete, done-for-you Google Business Profile optimization package designed to help franchises and local businesses dominate Google Maps. Our service includes:

  • Profile Setup & Optimization: Ensuring every location has accurate, consistent, and fully optimized business details.

  • Weekly Content Updates: Fresh posts, photo uploads, and keyword-rich updates that keep your listings active and relevant.

  • Review Management: Monitoring and responding to customer reviews to build trust and strengthen reputation.

  • Ranking & Performance Tracking: Regular reporting on keyword rankings, profile engagement, and lead-driving actions like calls, clicks, and direction requests.

  • Google Ads Management (Optional): Affordable ad campaigns built to drive even more local visibility and conversions.

  • Franchise-Wide Consistency: Streamlined processes to ensure brand compliance and scalable results across multiple locations.

With Map Ranks, you don’t just get tools—you get a dedicated team making sure your profiles stay optimized, competitive, and consistently driving new business.

Most “platforms” in our industry are software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools that leave the work up to you. They give you dashboards and reports—but you still need to log in, learn the system, and manage your own optimizations.

Map Ranks is different. We are not a software platform—we’re a hands-on service team. Instead of selling you tools, we do the actual work for you: weekly profile updates, review responses, photo uploads, and local SEO strategies that directly improve your rankings.

For franchises, that means consistency and scalability without having to train every manager or staff member on a new platform. We handle everything behind the scenes, while you see clear reports on rankings, engagement, and leads.

In short: with Map Ranks, you’re not buying software—you’re getting an experienced team dedicated to making your locations stand out on Google Maps.
