Recruiting franchisees requires combining network growth with inbound marketing.
Franchise recruitment has become increasingly difficult: fewer candidates, higher expectations, and stronger competition. Traditional strategies (trade shows, brokers, cold outreach) are losing efficiency…
But how can you make candidates come to you directly?
The answer is here.

The Challenge

Recruiting franchisees is harder than ever. Why?

• An ever-growing number of competing franchise networks
• A challenging retail landscape that creates more friction than before
• An unstable economic environment (budgets, wars, taxes, uncertainty…)

All these factors push many potential candidates to postpone their project.

The Yourban.ai Solution — Search Intelligence applied to Franchise Recruitment

There is a solution to recruit more franchisees.
And it comes down to two words: Inbound Marketing.

The idea?
Answer your candidates’ questions… before you even know who they are.

• “What budget do I need to open a restaurant?”
• “Where do I start?”
• “How much capital is required to open a franchise?”

But to answer these questions, you must first know what they are — and that’s exactly what Yourban.ai enables.

• Discover how many potential candidates are searching to open a franchise, and where they are located
• Identify the exact questions they ask, so you can respond to them
