What is actually wrong
Four numbers that make franchisors leave. Four that replace them.
Four figures a franchisor runs into, where each comes from, and the Ziwi figure beside it, per location.
The website
Quoted per unit
What a brand is quoted by other agencies for a page per location
How agencies price location pages: one quote per unit, on a call. A pattern, not a survey.
At Ziwi
$0
Keep a plan 12 months per location and the $2,500 build fee comes off. Hosting included.
A change
Weeks
How long new hours sit in a corporate queue before the page shows them
The word location owners use for a change stuck in a corporate queue. No measured average exists.
At Ziwi
24 hours
New hours, a new number, a manager photo: live within 24 hours, by the person who built it.
The numbers
No rollup
What the brand can see across every unit from last month's spend
The gap franchisors describe: a report per vendor, no page with every location on it. Not a measured average.
At Ziwi
One report
Cost per booked customer, per location, rolled up weekly, traced to its ad. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement
12 months
The term an agency asks a brand to sign, every location at once
One agency estimate with no named survey behind it. Treat it as a common term, not a statistic.
At Ziwi
Month to month
The brand owns every site, domain and ad account. Leaving costs $0.
Three top-row figures are words, not counts: "quoted per unit" is how agencies price location pages, "weeks" is a change stuck in a queue, "no rollup" is the gap franchisors describe. Every Ziwi figure under the rule is published on this site today.

Questions
Asked, answered, and the fine print beside it
Six questions a franchisor asks on the call, the answer in orange, the per-location fine print beside it.
| The question | The answer | The fine print |
|---|---|---|
| Which marketing agencies for franchises work with single locations month to month? | Ziwi does, month to month with no contract, every price on this page: local SEO or ads management starts at $297 a month per location, every rung published. Elsewhere, a three-month initial term before it goes month to month (ONE Agency), and system-wide retainers quoted by proposal (checked October 2026). Local SEO and ads management run $297, $497 or $797 a month per location, reviews $197 and hosting $99, with every line on the pricing page. A single-location franchisee pays the same per-location price, with no minimum number of locations. | $497 with spend $1,500 to $3,500 per unit, $797 above. |
| Does each franchise location need a separate Google Business Profile? | Yes. Google ranks the map pack partly by distance, so one head-office profile cannot show near a distant unit. Each unit gets a profile in the brand's name. | Brand holds every login. |
| Should franchise marketing be run by the brand or by each franchisee? | Split it. The brand sets the offer and rules and holds every account. Each location gets its own budget, page, profile and report, because every search is local. | One weekly rollup. |
| What if one location leaves? | It is all yours, so that unit keeps its own, at $0. Month to month. | That location's logins are handed over. Other units are untouched. |
| How fast can a new opening be live? | Campaigns in 24 hours, a location page set in 3 days. | After discovery, the brand's approvals and access. |
| Is the free location page really free? | Yes, per location: the $2,500 build fee is waived. | On $99 hosting or $299 Ziwi Care, kept 12 months at that unit. |
Month to month throughout. See every published price.
