"Wow...what an amazing concept! This is exactly what the franchise lead generation industry needs. I have advertised with countless portals in the past, but The Franchise Market gives me more coverage, higher-quality leads, and I only have one account and budget to manage. One word...brilliant!"

For Franchisors

The Franchise Engine is an extremely powerful and effective method of generating high-quality franchise candidate leads for franchisors. It helps franchisors grow their systems with the least amount of cost and effort on their part.

And we have developed a revolutionary NEW Lead Preview system. This system enables you to select just the leads you want without paying for leads you don't want. Our Lead Preview System is the most ground-breaking development in the franchise lead generation industry in the past decade, and it's only available at The Franchise Engine. Learn more below.

You get the following benefits when you advertise your franchise or business opportunity with The Franchise Engine:

 
Starting at just
$29
per qualifed lead
 
 

More exposure.  Instead of appearing on just one website, The Franchise Engine creates and advertises your detailed franchise listing across our network of more than 60 partner websites that reach more than 250,000 visitors per month.

NOTE: When you purchase a lead, all of the hidden information above will be visible.

Less hassle. You get exposure across The Franchise Engine’s entire network of websites, but you only have one listing, one account and one budget to manage. This means you have less work to do while getting more leads.

Qualified leads.  All potential franchise candidates must review your franchise information before they can request additional information from you.  All requests are processed by The Franchise Engine on the back-end to consistently filter prospects based on your minimum capital and location criteria, and only qualified leads are forwarded to you.

Save money.  You get unlimited exposure across our entire network for free, and you only pay per qualified lead you purchase.  There are no monthly fees, so you don't pay anything if you don't receive any leads. And you can set a monthly budget to control your spending.

No risk.  Every lead comes with our money-back guarantee. This means you are never at risk because if you ever get an invalid lead, you won't pay for it. And there are no contracts, so you can cancel at any time.

Added Benefit.  On average your listing will be viewed more than 100 times for every lead generated for you. The reason for this is two-fold: 1) our filters are strong so you only get qualified leads; and 2) many of our visitors view your listing and then visit your website to request additional information. The result is you get tremendous exposure for free.

 
 
You have two options for receiving leads. Choose the one that best meets your needs:
Lead Flow System
Lead Flow System
The CLASSIC Franchise Lead Generation System
The Franchise Engine still offers its popular Lead Flow System. This means you instantly get complete information on all leads that are interested in buying your opportunity, without any delay or additional steps.
How does it work?

Whenever a buyer submits a qualified lead for your franchise, we send you the complete lead, including all of the buyer's contact information, as soon as the lead is generated.

The Lead Flow system enables you to receive leads immediately, without any delay or extra steps to take. Many franchisors prefer this method because they prefer to take all leads that are qualified to buy their franchise or business opportunity.

Once you receive the lead, your account is charged accordingly.

Why is Lead Flow beneficial to you?
Lead Flow is very beneficial to franchisors that want the maximum amount of qualified leads with the least amount of hassle. Every new lead generated for the franchisor will freely "flow" to them.
What information is contained in a Complete Lead?

Every Lead Preview includes the buyer's first name, last name, city, state, zip, timeframe to buy, capital available to invest and desired location to own a franchise. Plus, the lead includes the buyer's email address, mailing address and phone number.

What does it cost?
It's free to list your franchise on The Franchise Engine, and there are no monthly fees. You just pay $29 for each qualified lead we send you. Plus, there are no long-term contracts so you can cancel at any time.  
Only
$29
per lead
What if you receive a bad lead?
Every lead comes with our Money Back Guarantee. If you ever get a "bad" lead, you don't pay for it. Simply click the "Bad Lead" link in the lead email, and you are credited the cost of the lead...it's that easy.

Lead Preview System
The NEW Franchise Lead Generation System
The Franchise Engine is now offering Lead Previews! This means you can preview new franchise leads BEFORE you decide if you want to buy the lead or not. It's ground-breaking and it will save you time and money.
How does it work?

Whenever a buyer submits a qualified lead for your franchise, we send you a "preview" of the lead instead of the complete lead. This means you get the entire lead, except the person's contact information.

This " Lead Preview" gives you the chance to review each lead and decide if you want to buy the lead or not.

If you want to buy the lead, click a link in the lead email and you will immediately receive the lead's complete contact information. If you don't want to buy the lead, do nothing and you won't be charged for the lead

Why is Lead Preview beneficial to you?
Lead Previews are very beneficial in in-fill situations where you only need to sell franchises in very specific geographic areas. Lead Previews also help you control your spending by eliminating marginal leads.

Do you want more details on how The Franchise Engine works? Below is a diagram and explanation of how The Franchise Engine generates more high-quality franchise candidate leads for franchisors:

Exposure Across our Network. Our network consists of traffic partners that have relevant traffic that is interested in owning a business. We power these traffic partners' websites with our franchise listings and proprietary search technology, and vistiors to our partners' websites use this built-in functionality to search for franchises to buy. As a member of The Franchise Engine, your franchise listing will be included in all searches across our partner network.

Requests for Information. Whenever a potential franchisee sees a franchise that interests them, they have the option to fill out a form to request additional information directly from the franchisor. Every request for information (RFI) contains the following information:

 
First Name  
Preferred contact method
Last Name  
Best time to contact
Email Address  
Minimum capital available
Mailing Address  
Preferred Location
Phone Number  
Timeframe to invest
 

Lead Processing. Regardless of where on the network the franchise candidate originated, all RFIs are processed by The Franchise Engine. The Franchise Engine analyzes each RFI to ensure it meets the franchisor's minimum capital and location requirements. The RFI is also processed in real-time to ensure the submitter's contact information is correct. Only RFIs that have valid information and pass the franchisor's location and capital requirements are then sent directly to the franchisor for follow-up as a lead.

Account Management. As a member of The Franchise Engine, franchisors only create one account on The Franchise Engine that manages their activity across the entire network of traffic partners. The Franchise Engine staff creates a very powerful listing for each franchisor, and this listing is syndicated across our entire network of traffic partners. If a franchisor wants to modify their listing, they only have to change it in one place and the listing is instantly updated across the entire network. In addition, the franchisor can create one central budget that controls spending and lead generation across the entire network.

Relationship. The franchisor only has to manage one relationship with The Franchise Engine staff instead of dozens of relationships across multiple websites. This means the franchisor saves time, effort and frustration managing their franchise candidate lead-generation campaign. In addition, all billing is processed by The Franchise Engine, so the franchisor gets leads from all across the network, but they only have one bill to pay each month.
