Discover more marketing insights and top agencies at Local search is no longer just a visibility channel. For franchise systems and multi-location brands, weak local SEO, missing content, fragmented data, and disconnected tech stacks can quietly drain revenue before leaders see the problem in performance reports. In this episode of the DesignRush Podcast, host Kia Johnson sits down with Andrew Beckman, Founder of Location3 and Certified Franchise Executive, to explore how brands can connect enterprise strategy with local execution across search, paid media, content, analytics, and AI-driven discovery. Andrew explains why Location3 was built around “location, location, location,” how franchisors and franchisees can better track ROI across local markets, and why many brands are losing demand because competitors are filling their content and keyword gaps. He also breaks down why AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Max, Meta Advantage+, TikTok, Reddit, and machine learning platforms are changing how content, creative, and paid media work together.
