Multi-location and franchise local SEO for brands with five, fifty or five hundred locations. Shmeer manages Google Business Profiles, location pages, reviews and listings at scale, and tracks how each location shows up in the map pack and in AI answers, so every location competes like a local business.
Every location competes in its own neighborhood, against its own local competitors, with its own reviews and rankings. A brand that is strong overall can still be invisible at half its locations.
Managing that at scale is hard: dozens of profiles that franchisees or managers can edit, duplicate listings, inconsistent hours, thin location pages copied from a template, and reviews nobody answers.
And customers increasingly ask AI assistants which location to visit. Good multi-location SEO gives every location accurate details, its own useful page, a steady flow of reviews and visibility in both search and AI answers.
Bulk management of categories, hours, services, attributes, photos and posts, with monitoring for unwanted edits and duplicates.
Location pages with real local detail, schema, staff, services and reviews, not one template with the address swapped.
Review requests and responses for every location, with alerts and reporting by region and manager.
Consistent name, address, phone and hours across directories, data aggregators and maps, with duplicates cleaned up.

Our proprietary platform, InfluenceLayer Local, scans how AI assistants recommend businesses in each location’s trade area and tracks recommendation share against local competitors. We combine it with classic local SEO, so every location is covered in both.
Each location gets its own complete Google Business Profile, its own useful location page with real local detail, consistent listings, and a steady flow of reviews and responses. Rankings and leads are tracked per location, so you can see which locations need attention.
Franchises add a governance challenge: brand standards set centrally, but local owners who know their market. We set up shared templates and rules, give franchisees simple ways to contribute photos, reviews and local news, and keep profile access under control.
