Sell More Franchises builds and runs franchise recruitment for franchisors: website, tracking, CRM and ads, for franchisors only. A Digital Rocket company.
Sell More Franchises recruits franchisees for franchisors. We build the recruitment page, an inquiry form that asks about capital, timing and territory, tracking in the client's CRM, and Meta and Google ads, and then we run the ads. The client's own team talks to the candidates. We also work with companies that sell turnkey business packages priced like a franchise.
Franchise Recruitment Study 2026 audited the recruitment funnels of 200 franchise brands with 50 or more units, and read 2,638 of their Meta ads. It found that franchise leads leak in the steps after the click: recruitment pages that don't say who the franchise is for, forms that never ask whether the candidate has the money to invest, and tracking that can't tell Meta which leads became buyers.

Between 8 and 19 October 2026, each brand's recruitment page was saved on a phone and on a desktop. Forms were reviewed field by field. Tracking was checked for a Meta pixel, the click ID or ad source kept in the form, and a server-side signal. Google PageSpeed supplied real-user speed data where Google has it. 2,638 active recruitment ads were read in the Meta Ad Library.
Every number has a finding ID on the findings data page.
