If you are employing a multi-location business model, it is extremely important to understand that regardless of the type of distribution model you choose, your individual locations are “Local Businesses” and in order for these local business to be successful in a geographically delineated marketplace each business location must be marketed locally. With this in mind, implementing your multi-location web design strategy must ensure your website navigation and link structure allows for easy indexing of all geographic locations.

Don’t believe what the mega-providers are selling you – we have proof!
Most of the franchise “experts” and multi-location “gurus” will have you believe that a centralized approach using location pages or microsites is the perfect solution for your organization. They will also do their best to talk you into using pay-per-click ads on search engines and display advertising on social platforms as the go-to solution to promote your individual locations.

The reason they want you to engage in pay-per-click advertising is because it is “idiot-proof”. Anyone can rank in search if you bid enough for your keywords.
What they don’t tell you is the fact that 70-80% of search engine users are ignoring the paid ads and are only focusing on the organic results.

Inbound Marketing Don't Interrupt Buyers - Attract Them
Inbound marketing refers to marketing strategies that bring visitors in, rather than you having to go out to get the attention of a prospective client, customer or lead. Inbound marketing earns the attention of consumers, makes your company stand out from the crowd, be easily found online and drives targeted traffic to your website by producing interesting, relevant content.
This is in direct contrast to outbound marketing, where marketers attempt to go “out” and find customers.
