I work with business owners to help drive localized and regional leads and sales through multi-location SEO services and digital marketing programs. This includes local search engine optimization (SEO), Paid Search (Google Ads), Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), and other marketing strategies and methods.
I understand the marketing challenges you face, and I am here to help your multi-location businesses grow through proven SEO programs.
Your Current Marketing Challenges
For many multi-location businesses, several challenges affect your marketing efforts.
Here are frequent marketing challenges I hear from business owners.
✔️ Don’t get enough marketing support from Corporate (Franchisor)
✔️ Limited marketing budget (and how to allocate among locations)
✔️ Local / competing Franchisees drive up digital marketing costs (Ex. Google Ads)
✔️ Producing enough quality content for each location
✔️ Limited time to focus on marketing efforts
✔️ Limited resources (people, knowledge, and tools) to dedicate to marketing
I will work with you to maximize the results of your marketing budgets and resources. In many instances, it is about reallocating budgets towards higher-performing marketing channels, rather than increasing marketing budgets.
Your Digital Marketing Goals
For most businesses, digital marketing objectives will fall into one or more of these six categories.
✔️ Increase brand awareness across all locations and the Franchise footprint
✔️ Increase lead volumes (online, phone or foot traffic)
✔️ Increase sales across all locations
✔️ Improve customer lead quality
✔️ Improve lead to conversion rates
✔️ Increase customer retention rates
I’ll help you implement a multi-location SEO strategy to increase Google map and search results, leads and sales using Organic SEO and PPC campaigns. When someone does a location specific search online for your products, services, and solutions, it is my goal to make sure your locations are highly visible in Google so you can capture qualified leads.
Which Digital Marketing Tactics Should You Focus On?
Digital marketing covers a wide range of marketing options. It can range from Search Engine Optimization to email marketing.
To help streamline your digital marketing alternatives, usually, Search Engine Optimization and Paid Search make up 50-75% of all website traffic and generate over 45% of sales revenues. These are key digital marketing channels to focus on.
Also, utilize email marketing and marketing automation to cultivate leads to move leads to sales conversions.
Your safest digital marketing investments would include:
Your best digital marketing investments would include:
a) Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click)
b) Multi-Location and Local SEO Services
c) Optimize your Google Business Profile (Google My Business) Listings
d) Leverage email marketing/marketing automation platforms.
1) Paid Search (Google Ads)
Use Paid Search when you need to quickly drive leads and sales with exact control over what you spend each month.
You can target specific geographics, zip codes, address radiuses, and high buyer intent keywords and phrases.
Using location specific settings can help you avoid cannibalizing paid search efforts across your customer markets and locations.
2) Multi-Location Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
SEO is a long-term marketing tactic where you optimize your website’s content and site architecture to rank high in the search results for specific keywords. It also includes building local links to your website.
Usually, the SEO process begins with a Website SEO Audit.
The Corey Wenger SEO Audit is more than just a list of SEO items that need to be fixed.
The Website SEO Audit provides you with detailed research, insights, and suggestions to develop and execute a profitable SEO strategy.
Google Business Profile Listings
✔️ Make sure you have fully verified and complete business profile.
✔️ Verify your business hours, phone number, and address are correct.
✔️ Good quality photos play an important role in the carousel and can help make sure your company is represented professionally.
✔️ Use a unique and descriptive introduction description (at least 250 words).
✔️ If you have multiple locations, the best practice would be to use the landing page for that particular location. Example: www.yourdomain.com/indianapolis
✔️ Make sure you use the best primary business category association. According to Google, “add categories which describe what your business is, and not what it does.”
✔️ Remove duplicate Google My Business listings.

This includes setting up your KPIs, lead conversion goals, and site events you want to track.
SEO Risks and Concerns
For many location specific businesses, a big concern happens if Google changes something and causes Google rankings to decline.
Google is continuously rolling out modifications to its algorithm every week. Some adjustments are minor and not visible, while other changes can affect certain industries more than others.
It is best to use foundational SEO best practices. This means using ethical and proven organic SEO tactics like quality content, SEO-friendly web design, excellent user experience, quick page load times, quality local links, and other reliable search engine optimization methods.
How Long Does It Take To See SEO Results?
Search Engine Optimization is a long-term marketing strategy.
In lower competition industries, you can achieve positive SEO results in 3-4 months.
In medium competition industries, you can achieve results starting in months 4-5.

Note: If you talk to any SEO businesses, and they tell you they can make significant SEO impacts within 1-2 months, they aren’t speaking the truth.
