Hypothesis

Franchisees are the cornerstone, not the add-on.

Yes, we work with head offices nationally. But affordable, high-quality marketing for franchisees is what we built the business on, and our systems, tools and culture are set up for owners of every size.

A franchise lets you borrow the power of a national brand. We amplify it in your territory, finding the local opportunities and recommending the ones that fit your business and budget.

LabOS, for your territory

A plan for your patch

Each month your local marketing gets a short plan: what we’ll test, why, and where the budget goes.

Because you’re part of a network, it starts from what has already worked for owners like you.

What we think is going on

LabOS, network rollout

Head office’s best work, with your name on it.

When head office approves a new ad or post, you get a link. See it as head office made it and with your local details worked in, then choose. Nothing runs without your say.

  • Both versions, side by side

    Head office’s ad and your local version (your area on the image and in the copy) on one page. Pick one, or skip it.

  • Running in your own account

    What you choose is launched in your own ad account, so the results are yours, not lost in the network total.

  • Social posts, done

    Choose a head-office post and it’s scheduled onto your own Facebook and Instagram pages.

  • Your local proof, kept

    Your reviews, offers and service area sit on top of the network’s brand, so local ads sound like you and still look like the brand.

Questions

Q1 Will my marketing fit my brand’s rules?

Yes. We work inside your network’s brand guidelines, and for several networks we are the approved marketing agency.

Q2 Do I have to run head office’s campaigns?

No. When head office approves a new ad or post, you get a link showing it as is and with your local details worked in. You choose one, or skip it. Nothing runs without your say.

Q3 What do you do for a single territory?

A local plan for your area, then the work itself: Google Ads, social ads, your Google Business Profile and local activity, measured on enquiries.

Q4 How do I know it is working?

You see the enquiries and jobs the marketing brought in, not just clicks, and your plan changes each month based on what worked.
