Teardown checklist

What should a franchise development website have?

Say what it is and who it's for, first screen

One line a candidate understands on a phone. 14% of hero sections say who the franchise is for.

Show the investment range

Serious buyers look for it; tire kickers leave. Only 6% of hero sections mention it.

A button before the scroll

Enquire, check a territory or book a call. No hunting through menus.

A sticky call or apply bar

Keep the next step on screen. 75% of pages have none.

Nothing covering the first screen

Cookie banners and pop-ups push the pitch below the fold. 29% open with one.

Qualifying questions before contact details

Capital, timing, territory first. 80 forms ask about capital; none ask it before name and email.

Real franchisees, by name

Proof a competitor can't copy. 57% show one on their website; 4.4% of their ads do.

Copy only you could write

Read your headline out loud. Could a competitor put their logo on it without changing a word? "Passion" appears on 48% of pages.

Questions franchisors ask

Franchise website FAQ

Should the franchise site be separate from the customer site?

Yes. Different visitors, different questions, different pixel. A subdomain or separate domain both work; mixing recruitment into the customer site doesn't.

Should we publish the investment range?

Yes, where your disclosure rules allow. It filters out candidates who can't buy before they cost your team a call.

Short form or long form?

For franchisors, fewer and better enquiries usually beat more and worse. Ask the qualifying questions; accept the lower submit rate.

Do you rebuild the site or fix the existing one?

Whichever is faster to working. The scope is in writing before we start, and covered by the guarantee.
