01 · The franchise problem

Corporate writes the playbook. Franchisees never run it.

The brand team builds a beautiful local SEO guide. Sends it to 400 franchisees. Three of them open it. Here's what changes when theStacc runs every unit on autopilot.

Before theStacc

PDFs nobody reads.

Where most franchise marketing teams plateau.

  • 01

    Local SEO guides go ignored

    Corporate ships a 40-page PDF. 3% of franchisees open it. The brand voice drifts in 97% of units.

  • 02

    Some units rank, most don't

    The owner-operator who used to do paid search ranks. The 22-year-old running unit 308 doesn't.

  • 03

    Brand voice goes off the rails

    A franchisee writes a GBP post in their tone. Customer sees a 30-word run-on. Brand team finds it 3 weeks later.

  • 04

    Compliance is a fire drill

    A franchisee posts a banned health claim. Legal hears about it from a state attorney general. Nobody had eyes on it.

  • 05

    Reviews sit unanswered

    The 1-star review from unit 184 has been live for 6 weeks. Foot traffic drops. The franchisee blames corporate.

With theStacc

Every unit runs the playbook.

Where you land in the first 60 days.

  • 01

    Daily local content, every unit

    Corporate sets the voice. theStacc publishes daily for unit 1 and unit 400. No PDF required.

  • 02

    Map Pack rank across the chain

    87% of units hit top-3 within 90 days. The 22-year-old at unit 308 has the same SEO as the owner-operator.

  • 03

    One brand voice. Locked.

    Master brand voice from corporate. City and unit details swap in. Run-on posts die at the source.

  • 04

    Compliance baked into the engine

    Banned terms, required disclaimers, state-specific rules — set once, enforced everywhere.

  • 05

    Every review answered in 3 minutes

    theStacc replies to every review across every unit, in brand voice, within minutes of posting.

02 · The solution

One brand. Every franchisee.
Zero PDFs.

theStacc runs local content, Google Business Profile, and review replies across every unit in your network — with corporate brand controls, compliance gates, and audit logs. Bulk-roll out to 2,000 units in 2 weeks. Add the 2,001st in 5 minutes. Bill corporate, each franchisee, or both.
Compliance ladder

Brand control. All the way down.

Three layers of brand and legal control between corporate and the published post. Every franchisee, every time.

01
CORPORATE

Master brand voice + banned terms

Marketing locks the master voice. Legal locks banned terms and required disclaimers. State-specific rules layered in.

Set once · enforced everywhere
02
REGIONAL VP

Approval rules per region

Regional VPs set what auto-publishes vs what queues for review. Local promos, seasonal campaigns, market-specific offers.

Per region · audit logged
03
FRANCHISEE

Local detail layer

Franchisee adds city events, store hours, photo of the team. Master voice + state rules already applied. They can't go off-brand.

Local flavor · never off-brand
04
PUBLISHED

Goes live on GBP, site, social

Post lands with corporate brand voice, regional approval, and franchisee local detail. Audit log records every layer.
