How is a partner site chosen? |
| |
Our primary interest is in matching quality franchise candidates with the right franchise opportunity. As a result, we partner with companies that have visitors, customers or an audience that includes people that are interested in owning a business. These types of businesses include business education sites, relevant business blogs, entrepreneurial sites, business-for-sale sites, franchise-for-sale sites, newspapers, radio stations, and other media sites. |
| |
|
|
Are there additional exposure options for my opportunity within the partner sites? |
| |
If you want additional exposure beyond your franchise-for-sale listing, you can sign up for our Featured Ad or Spotlight ad program. In addition, you can have your franchise highlighted in our weekly newsletter to our database of franchise candidates. You can also spice up your franchise listing by adding audio and video files to your listing. |

|
Will I receive a lot of leads from The Franchise Engine? |
| |
The Franchise Engine is based on quality leads, not the quantity of leads. As a result, we required visitors to take specific action on a specific franchise before they can submit a lead. And once the lead is submitted, we validate it in real-time to ensure the information the buyer submitted is complete and valid. Finally, once a lead has been validated, we filter it against the franchisor's minimum capital and location requirements to ensure it meets the franchisor's investment criteria. Only then will a buyer's information be sent to a franchisor as a qualified lead. As a result, we filter out a lot of requests by tire-kickers in our efforts to save you time and money. This is very much unlike other lead generation websites that want to send you every possible lead, no matter how qualified they are. As a result, you will probably get a lower number of leads from The Franchise Engine, but each lead will be more highly qualified. |
| |
|
|
My listing gets a lot of exposure and is viewed a lot by potential buyers. Am I getting charged for that? |
| |
You are not charged for exposure across our network. You can have thousands of potential franchise candidates view your listing, but you are only charged if they submit a qualified lead to your indicating they are interested in buying your franchise. |
| |
|
|
I want more leads, how can you assist me? |
| |
We are continuing to grow our network of partners through The Franchise Engine. And the more partners we have, the more exposure your franchise listing will get, which will result in more leads. However, we are not willing to sacrifice quality of leads for quantity of leads. Potential franchise candidates will always have to take specific action on your listing for a lead to be generated. This may result in fewer leads, but the goal is that more of these leads will result in actual franchise sales. |
