When you become a franchisee, you receive a new subset of optimized pages on the Klappenberger and Son website. These include:
Plus, we will create interior, exterior, handyman and cabinet painting pages targeting 3-5 other areas in your territory.
The Klappenberger and Son main website had over 93,000 visitors in 2022 and is on pace to beat that number in 2023.
The most popular pages on the website are the ones that promote the franchisees. However, blogs are published on a regular basis to help attract more people to the website.
Did you know that 92% of people read reviews for local businesses? Not only that, but 44% of consumers will not consider a review relevant if it was written more than 30 days ago.
This is why we provide all of our franchisees with a completely automated review system. This process is setup to help you get reviews on a regular basis from your happiest clients.
By adding your prospect to our CRM and marking the job as completed (and happy), they are automatically entered into a set of emails and texts that help them easily leave a review.
86% of people don’t search for a specific painting company when looking on Google. This is why it is so important for our franchisees that the website comes up on the first page. We want to help them get as many free leads as possible.
We use all of the SEO best practices when it comes to our website to help your page come up to potential clients. In fact, every month we: do retargeting, build backlinks, repurpose successful content, add videos to the site, publish blogs, apply new keyword research, write guest articles and more!
We are taking as many steps as possible to rank your franchise highly on Google.
We help your Google Business Profile show up in the 3-pack (the results just below the map on Google) as much as possible. One way to do this is to have an active and interesting profile.
Google loves when you use their tools and will reward you for doing so. This is why we make sure that your profile is active weekly and that it is completed fully. This includes the common questions portion.
Google also loves pictures and videos, so your profile is updated weekly with photos and videos that are intriguing to a prospect when they are checking you out.
The average amount of time that an adult in 2023 spends on Facebook is 35 minutes per day! At Klappenberger and Son, we make sure to take advantage of that fact.
When you first buy a franchise, we write a set of blogs that are keyword optimized for your location and advertise them on Facebook as well. This is how we start traffic in your area running to the site.
Retargeting is also a cost covered by the franchisor. We run retargeting ads featuring franchisees, before and after pictures, testimonials and more to everyone that visits the website or watches one of our videos.
When looking for a painting company, more than half of consumers today will research a business on social media. This is why it’s so important to have daily posts on Facebook.
This is taken care of for our franchisees. We have a marketing team that makes sure that quality posts are going out every day.
These posts are also considered social signals that can help with SEO.
