SUMMARY:Webinar | Closing the Franchise Gap in the Age of AI Search: Why Local Social Is Where HQ and Franchisees Meet
DESCRIPTION:Every franchise brand lives with the same structural tension — HQ controls the strategy\, franchisees run the locations. In the age of AI search\, that gap has become a visibility problem. Local social has quietly become the layer where the franchise gap either closes or widens\, shaping both traditional local rankings and AI citation.
