“The best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing.”
– Tom Fishburne

Your customers do not want to feel like they are being sold to. They don’t want to feel persuaded, coerced, or—worst of all—tricked.

They want to feel free to choose a business they trust.

As you strategize your digital marketing for franchises, keep these tips in mind to help you establish and build trust with your audience.

Find Your Authentic Voice And Use It

Your customers or patrons want to feel confident in choosing you for the service or product they need. Part of building this confidence and trust involves establishing a unique and recognizable brand voice.

If you have not done so already, take the time to establish the essence of your brand, craft a coherent mission statement, and establish an authentic voice that you imbue across all channels of your digital marketing efforts. This includes your website, social media, digital and print advertising, and anywhere your brand appears.

It is just as important as your logo, but can often go neglected.

Invest In SEO (And Embrace AI)

Boost your website traffic organically by implementing a modern SEO strategy that leverages both foundational techniques and cutting-edge AI tools. Today’s most effective SEO campaigns combine keyword research, high-quality content creation, technical optimization, and strategic backlink building, while also integrating AI-powered platforms for content generation, competitor analysis, and real-time performance tracking.

AI is transforming how we understand search intent, personalize user experiences, and scale SEO efforts efficiently. That said, patience remains key. SEO is a long game, with measurable results typically appearing within four to six months. But when your site ranks above the fold in search results—without the “Sponsored” tag—that’s a powerful, cost-effective sign that your SEO investment is paying off.

This organic traffic not only attracts new customers but also builds trust with customers over time, which results in a deeper business relationship.

Put Effort Into Your Social Media Presence

Simply having a Facebook page or an Instagram account is not enough. You need to invest time and energy into those accounts so they do the work they are meant to: helping your business shine. This proves to be even more difficult when you run a franchise that has a corporate social media page in addition to several regional locations. At the corporate level, have a designated social media strategist to handle your posts. Create a regular posting schedule and share relevant content, such as updates to your business. Your authentic brand voice comes in handy here! Encourage your franchisees to do the same.

Paid advertising through Facebook ads really pays off when the account they are connected to already has dedicated followers.

Refresh the Content Across Your Websites

Messaging falls flat when it fails to speak directly to the needs of your audience. Potential and current customers always want to know what the benefit is to them. Bring these benefits to the forefront. Furthermore, your content does have a shelf life, so you want to avoid stale and outdated information.

Whether you need to give your current content a little facelift or you need brand new pages of custom content, plan to include these updates in your marketing efforts for all of your franchise locations.

Display Clear Calls To Action

Every page on your website and each piece of digital advertising should guide potential customers toward their next step, without being pushy. A strong call to action (CTA) doesn’t tell people what to want; it shows them how to act on the decision they’ve already made. Whether it’s “Book a Free Consultation,” “Start Your Trial,” or “Get a Quote,” your CTAs should be clear, compelling, and easy to follow, turning interest into action and prospects into paying customers.
