Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Jared,

Can you give me examples of franchises you know that rank well using this method?

thanks!

LP

Nakul,

Thank you for your reply!

Answer to your questions:

1. Franchisees could request changes through corporate that would have to be approved and implemented by corporate website manager.

2. It would be difficult to create and manage content for 250+ locations and not have duplicate content. I believe we will have a significant amount of duplicate content except for city name.

3. We would like main site to rank well for non geo specific search "product" and franchise content to rank well for geo specific search "product dallas"

I would appreciate your response based on these clarifications!

thanks!

I work for a large franchise organization that is weighing the pros and cons of using subdomains versus subdirectories for our franchisee locations. What are the pros and cons of each approach?
