How Does The Franchise Direct Website Work?

Franchise Direct UK is a website that aggregates information about several franchises in one centralised place for visitor convenience. By doing this, potential owners of a franchise (aka franchisees) can get investment information on numerous franchises and contact those franchisors without having to go to each individual franchise’s website.

How to Find a Franchise on Franchise Direct?

Using our website is easy. You can search for franchises by industry, investment level or location in the search bar menu links. Keyword search is also available by clicking on the magnifying glass at the very top right of the page.

It's as straightforward as that!

When you find a franchise that meets your investment criteria, all you have to do is fill out the short contact form by clicking on the “Request Free Info” button. The franchisor will then be forwarded your contact details.

How does Franchise Direct UK help me as a Franchisor ?

If you are a franchisor looking to expand your franchise network, Franchise Direct UK offers advertising options to suit all of your franchising needs. Whether you want a few provinces, a national campaign or an international expansion, our experienced and dedicated UK and international team can help you choose the right pay-per-lead generation package for you.

What is Pay-Per-Lead?

Here at Franchise Direct, we offer clients pay-per-lead packages for their lead generation requirements.

You may be scratching your head and wondering; 'what is a pay-per-lead model?' and 'how does that work?'

Let us explain the mechanics of it all.

Pay-per-lead, or PPL, works by having the franchisor pay for each individual “good lead” instead of all leads received, as is the case in a package payment setup.

Lead cost is determined based upon the criteria the franchisor sets for their desired leads.

These criteria can include:
  • Minimum Investment
  • Number of Locations Targeted
While this may seem like a more complicated process than your typical package camapaign, a PPL contract allows you to control your budget and the amount of leads received each month.

Getting started is easy. With just a 10-lead deposit, we'll set up your subscription.

And here's the best part: there's no minimum term contract required. You have the flexibility to pause or cancel your booking as needed, putting you firmly in the driver's seat of your advertising campaign.

Learn more about our PPL offering with a detailed breakdown from our Lead Generation Consultant, Brian Rogan.
