LEAD GENERATION REPORTER

WHO ADVERTISES WHERE ONLINE?  


Given the scores of lead generation sites available today, determining which websites would be most effective in promoting your franchise can be a difficult task. With finite advertising resources, you want to invest your money in lead generation companies that will offer the highest productive returns (qualified leads). Unfortunately, lack of empirical data on the industry offers little insight as to where you should advertise. With no other alternative to gauge the success of online promotion, you might look to see which lead generations rank high on search engine results for various key words, as well as to “successful” industry leaders to see “Who Advertises Where Online?” and follow their lead.

Who Advertises Where Online tracks 22 of the most popular lead generation sites (click here for a list) and lists the franchisors that promote their systems on each of these sites. The August Report lists roughly 3,400 franchisors that advertise on one or more of these sites.

Who Advertises Where Online is also an exceptional way for lead generation companies to quickly identify prospective advertisers for their sites. With a few clicks of the mous, one can see who is advertising where, how many sites a particular franchisor is listed on and whether their listings are Premium or Standard.

Who Advertises Where Online is provided in an Excel format and consists of two detailed, searchable reports and four summary reports. The reports are as follows:

Report 1: Where Are Franchisors Advertising Online? This provides an alphabetical listing of roughly 2,400 franchisors from which one can pick a particular franchise system. Once a particular franchisor is selected, the report will list all of the lead generation sites on which that franchisor is advertising. The listing further notes whether the franchisor has a Premium or Standard listing.
Report 2: Who Is Advertising On the Key Lead Generation Websites? This provides an alphabetical listing of 20 key lead generation websites from which one can pick a particular lead generation company. The selection of a particular lead generation company will populate a list of all the franchisors advertising on that site, either under a Premium or Standard listing. Additionally, a total count of all franchisors listed on the site is reported, allowing valuable insight into exposure efficiency. The total is informative in that the higher the total on a particular site, the less exposure an individual franchise has of being noticed in a pool of many.
Report 3: Top 15 Franchisors with Heaviest Total Exposure (Premium and Standard Listings). To the extent that one wishes to know which franchisors are advertising the most aggressively on the Internet, this report lists the Top 15 companies in terms of the number of both Premium and Standard listing on all 20 lead generation websites. For computation purposes, a Premium listing is equivalent to two Standard listings.
Report 4: Top 15 Franchisors with Widest Total Exposure (Total Number of Listings). To the extent that one wishes to know which franchisors are advertising the most aggressively on the Internet, this report lists the Top 15 companies in terms of the number of websites they are listed on. For computation purposes, one Premium listing is equivalent to one Standard listing.
Report 5: Top 15 Franchisors with Highest Total Premium Exposure (Total Number of Premium Listings). To the extent that one wishes to know which franchisors are advertising the most aggressively on the Internet in terms of Premium listings, this report lists the Top 15 companies in terms of the total number of premium listings they have among the 20 lead generations websites. For computation purposes, only Premium listings are counted.
Report 6: Summary of Franchisors Listed on 20 Lead Generation Websites. This report ranks the various lead generation websites by the total number of franchisors listed on that site. While not necessarily true, the total is informative in that the higher the total number of listings on a particular site, the less exposure an individual franchise has of being noticed in a pool of many.
