Why Invest in a Website?

As a franchise broker, you need more than a business card and a phone number listing to generate interest in your services. In today's world, every professional needs an accessible, professional website. Without one, you could lose valuable opportunities to interact with prospects and clients.

A well-designed website can improve your professional reputation and establish you as a thought leader in your field. Consider it as a base for online marketing and prospect engagement, and use it to generate, nurture, and convert leads. Widen your scope and grow your business with a dedicated website designed to help leads choose you.

Custom, modern websites from web-designers can cost thousands of dollars, and may not provide a client with the tools needed to succeed in the industry. The IFPG website offerings include everything a broker needs to launch a live website from day one.

Differentiate Your Brand

The IFPG Digital website offering can help you stand out as a broker in your region. Whether you want to target a particular franchise industry or a certain geographical area, use the customized features to make your brokerage look and feel different from your competitors. Here are some tips for helping your new website earn qualified leads:

• Add multimedia - Use images and video to take your page from bland to engaging.

• Update SEO tags regularly - Search engine visibility will improve the flow of site traffic.

• Customize your content - Give your content a personalized touch to draw in readers. Consider starting a blog!
