# Multi-Location & Franchise SEO

> Multi-location SEO manages search for businesses with several offices, stores or franchise units. We keep every Google Business Profile accurate, build a location page for each unit, run review programs across locations, standardize structured data, and report rankings and leads for each location so owners can compare them.

Every location competes in its own map pack. Central standards with local detail win more of them.

## Why it matters now
AI assistants recommend specific locations for local questions. Inconsistent data across units makes the whole brand look less reliable.

## What is included
- Profile management for every location
- Location page system
- Review programs by location
- Local link and PR opportunities per market
- Structured data for each location

## How we do it
1. **Standardize.** Set data, page and review standards.
2. **Build.** Create or fix profiles and pages for each unit.
3. **Localize.** Add local proof and links per market.
4. **Compare.** Report and improve the weakest locations.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can franchisees post their own updates?

Yes, within brand guidelines. We set up roles and templates so local posts stay on brand.
