Retail franchise brands · Website

Give shoppers a locator and candidates a page that answers the real questions.

A website for a retail franchise brand serves shoppers who need the nearest store and candidates who need the terms of opening one. GullySales designs the structure, the locator and the franchise page around those two jobs.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What website means

A website is the page a customer lands on after searching, clicking an advert or scanning a code, and it decides whether they call or leave. GullySales builds and maintains sites that load quickly, explain the offer plainly and make the enquiry form or phone number easy to find.

For retail franchise brands

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The locator is hidden or broken”

    A shopper types a town and gets a map with no stores, or a list of closed ones. A working locator with address, timings and a click to call is the most useful page the site holds.

  • “The franchise page reads like an advertisement”

    A candidate wants shop size, stock, support and steps. A page of praise with no requirements makes the candidate call, and the call repeats what a page could have told them.

  • “The site is built for a laptop”

    Shoppers and candidates alike view it on a phone, standing in a market. Buttons that are small, forms that are long and maps that load slowly drive them away.

  • “New stores are added by hand, late”

    Opening a store means updating the locator, the profile and the franchise map. When this waits for a developer, shoppers find a store before the site does.

What we do

What we deliver for retail franchise brands.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Site map for two audiences

    A structure with a clear path for shoppers and another for candidates.

    Result: A map of pages showing both paths.

  2. Store locator build

    A searchable list by town with address, timings, map and phone.

    Result: A locator a shopper can use on a phone.

  3. Franchise page and form

    A page that states shop requirements and a short form that asks the qualifying questions.

    Result: A form that records frontage, area and capital.

  4. Store page template

    A page for each store, filled from one data sheet.

    Result: A new store page created from a single entry.

  5. Update routine

    A step list for adding, moving or closing a store on the site.

    Result: A checklist owned by a named person.

How the result is measured

  • Page load time
  • Bounce rate
  • Enquiries from the website

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the website work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Confirm structure and content

    We agree the site's pages and content needs before design begins, drawing on website strategy where it exists.

  2. 2

    Design the site

    Every page is designed against your brand identity and checked for how it should convert a visitor.

  3. 3

    Build and test

    The site is developed and tested across devices and browsers before anything goes live.

  4. 4

    Load real content

    Actual copy, images and information about your business replace placeholder content before launch.

  5. 5

    Launch and hand over access

    The site goes live with domain, hosting and content management access clearly handed to you.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we need a separate site for franchise recruitment?
One site with a clear franchise section works better than two, as long as the paths stay separate. A second site only makes sense for a different brand.
Can franchisees edit their store page?
Let them edit a few fields, such as timings and offers, through a form you review. Brand and address changes should go through head office.
How do we know the locator is accurate?
Check it against the Google profiles and the franchisee list each time a store opens, moves or closes.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
