Page One Rankings in 60 Days: AI SEO for New Franchise Locations
Project Overview
MaidThis, a fast-growing cleaning franchise with 32 locations, was performing well—but new markets weren’t picking up steam fast enough. Rankings were slow to break into the top 3, and lead generation lagged behind. To accelerate traction, we rolled out a proven AI-driven SEO strategy built around hyper-targeted local keywords—used across multiple new franchise locations with consistently strong results. One of the standout implementations? MaidThis Chattanooga.
Traffic and qualified leads started coming in within the first month. By month two, the Chattanooga location had 33 high-intent keywords ranking on page one of Google and 34 organic leads, laying the foundation for scalable, organic growth across the franchise network.
New locations struggled to gain search visibility quickly, delaying growth.
Lead generation lag
Without early rankings, markets had trouble bringing in organic leads.
High ad spend dependency
Franchisees had to rely on paid ads to generate first leads, often overspending while waiting for SEO to catch up.
Franchisee retention risk
If new owners don’t see traction early on, confidence drops—and in some cases, they may walk away before the location has a chance to grow.
New website: a new design with strong focus on conversions and user experience.
Results
Once the AI content strategy launched, growth didn’t just improve—it accelerated.

34 Organic Leads Without Paid Ads
Traffic is great. Leads are better. Chattanooga generated 34 organic leads in just 60 days—no ad dollars required. A major win for ROI-conscious franchisees looking to scale efficiently.
Featured in the Google 3-Pack
The location earned a spot in the Google 3-Pack—the top 3 local results shown with a map—giving them immediate visibility and credibility at the very top of search results.
The 3-Pack is the map section that shows the top three local businesses when someone searches for services like “cleaners near me”—and it’s often the first thing potential customers click.
In map results, MaidThis Chattanooga took the lead—literally. They landed the #1 position on Google Maps for their target terms, putting them at the top for every “near me” cleaning search in the area.
