Franchise systems · Social media
A national page cannot fill one franchisee's diary on Tuesday.
Social media for a franchise system is mostly a question of who posts. A national page builds recognition, local pages fill diaries, and an earnings claim in an owner's post is a problem for the whole system. GullySales sets the structure, supplies the content and keeps a record of what went out.
What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.
For franchise systems
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A post by a franchisee is still your advertising”
An owner writing about how much the unit takes creates a disclosure problem for the franchisor, whatever the agreement says about who published it.
“Local pages need local content or they die”
A page that only reposts national creative loses the customers it was opened for. Photographs from that unit are the thing that works.
“The account usually belongs to the wrong person”
Pages opened on an owner's personal login disappear at a transfer, taking the followers the fund paid to build.
What we do
What we deliver for franchise systems.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A page structure decided per unit
A written position on which locations get their own pages, which share a regional one, and what the national page is for.
Result: No page exists that nobody can keep fed.
Accounts held by the system with owner access
Pages created and owned centrally, with franchisees added as managers and a process for adding and removing them.
Result: A departure does not take an audience with it.
A posting rule written with your counsel
Plain guidance with examples on earnings claims, testimonials and offers, issued to owners and built into onboarding.
Result: Owners know what they may say before they post it.
Supplied local posts with room for unit photographs
A scheduled set of posts per location, half supplied and half a slot for the owner's own pictures and staff.
Result: Local pages stay alive without an owner writing copy.
Archiving of what each unit publishes
A record of posts, stories and offers by location, kept where your counsel can retrieve it if a claim is questioned.
Result: A request for records does not turn into a search.
Monthly reporting on enquiries by unit
Messages, bookings and enquiries traced back to each page, measured against that location's baseline from the audit.
Result: You can tell which pages are producing customers.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate
- Enquiries from social profiles
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
Who it is for
This is written for these franchise systems.
- Emerging franchisors under twenty-five units
- Established systems adding units in new states
- Food and beverage franchise systems
- Home services and residential franchise brands
- Health, fitness and wellness studio franchises
- Childcare, tutoring and education franchises
- Senior care and staffing franchise systems
- Multi-unit and area developer models
- Franchisors relying on a broker network for most deals
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for franchise systems
- 1
Separate the two funnels
In the free audit we look at development and local marketing apart from each other, because they are usually reported as one number and hide each other's problems.
- 2
Fix the candidate response
Agreed overlap hours, a first call while the candidate is still reading, qualification against your own criteria, and a record your development team can see.
- 3
Set the local base
Every unit's listing, local page and review routine brought to one standard, so franchisees start from the same place rather than from whatever they set up themselves.
- 4
Open new units properly
A pre-opening routine run for each new franchisee, so the ramp does not depend on how confident that particular owner is at marketing.
- 5
Report to both audiences
Development numbers for the board and local numbers per unit for the franchisees, both against the baseline recorded before anything changed.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
