The time and toil of creating a franchise website isn&#8217;t over until the final review is complete. Here are five musts to tackle before launching a franchise website.</span></div>  <p><strong>Check for typos and editing errors. </strong><span style=" 115%;  background: white;">First impressions are imperative and fleeting, especially when it comes to your brand&#8217;s online representation. A typo or copy error could put a brand&#8217;s credibility on the line and possibly put franchisee leads in jeopardy. Invest time in poring over every word on the website and making sure that all content is free of any possible snafus like dead links, missing punctuation, etc.<strong> </strong></span></p>  <p><strong>Ask for input. </strong><span style=" 115%;  background: white;">Ask friends and family to take the website for a test drive. After working so closely to the project, it&#8217;s easy to develop tunnel vision from sheer familiarity; that&#8217;s when an extra pair of eyes can come in handy. By soliciting the opinions of trustworthy site visitors, you can use their input to create a more cohesive, user-friendly site. Tweaks as simple as altering a navigation bar or streamlining a query form can take your website from a zero to a hero. <strong></strong></span></p>  <div style="para-border-div;none;solid windowtext 1.0pt;solid windowtext .75pt;0in 0in 31.0pt 0in">  <p><strong>Bridge the gap between prospects and franchisor.</strong><span style=" 115%;  background: white;"> Make sure you&#8217;ve utilized sound methods of gathering customer information. Do you have a fine-tuned franchisee inquiry form? Do you have a lead contact for interested candidates? Knowing what information you hope to gain from the site and how you process it is just as important as its purpose.</span></p>  <p style="none;solid windowtext .75pt; 0in;0in 0in 31.0pt 0in"><strong>Make sure SEO is optimized. </strong><span style=" 115%;  background: white;">A stellar website means nothing if viewers are landing on it. Ensure that all relevant keywords are applied to your site and that it hovers at the top of search engines. If you&#8217;re not Google-savvy, then invest in a consultation with an agency that can make the most of your site&#8217;s online presence. I know of a <a href="http://nolimitagency.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-to-review-a-franchise-website-2241" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">damn good one</a>.</span></p>  <p style="none;solid windowtext .75pt; 0in;0in 0in 31.0pt 0in"><strong>Get social. </strong><span style=" 115%;  background: white;">By integrating social media widgets into your website, you can maximize the exposure received from visitors. Your website will drive more possible followers toward your social media platforms and help build a more robust following. There are also fringe benefits to beefing up your social media presence. If an interested franchisee is performing due diligence on your brand, then social media outlets will be crucial in legitimizing the brand&#8217;s presence.</span></p><div></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center; ">&nbsp;</div><a href="http://1851franchise.com/details/2234/1851-Recognizes-Top-40-in-First-Franchise-Development-Website-Awards-" target="_blank"><div style="text-align: center; "></div><div></div></a><div>&nbsp;</div>  </div>
