Website Performance

Connects via Google Analytics Search Console PageSpeed

Your website is the foundation of every lead, every form fill, every attribution chain. Franchesca scores it like a forensic analyst — not a web designer. A clean Scan 1 is what makes Pillars 2 and 3 meaningful.

  • Site architecture, Core Web Vitals, mobile & desktop speed
  • Content structure, CTA placement, conversion flow integrity
  • !
    Web form setup — hidden UTMs, field mapping, CRM routing accuracy
  • !
    GA4 & GTM configuration, key event firing, cross-domain tracking
  • Persona page strategy — veteran, multi-unit, conversion pages often absent

Campaign Performance

Connects via Google Ads Meta Ads LinkedIn Bing Ads

Once your website is collecting clean data, Franchesca connects up to five paid ad platforms and scores your campaign-to-CRM attribution. This is where most brands discover they've been optimizing for the wrong metric entirely.

  • Cross-channel attribution — Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Bing, Instagram
  • Campaign-level clicks, sessions, leads, and cost — unified view
  • !
    Source attribution accuracy — first touch vs. last touch vs. true source
  • !
    Geographic conversion mapping — which territories are converting
  • CPL without CRM context is misleading — spend looks fine, pipeline doesn't

CRM & Full-Funnel Attribution

Connects via ActiveCampaign FranConnect HubSpot 10+ CRMs

This is where other platforms stop — and where the Insights Engine begins. Once your CRM is connected, Franchesca surfaces every mid and bottom-funnel metric from booking rate to awarded unit, all traced back to the exact campaign and source that started the journey.

  • Pipeline stages, deal types, booking & kept appointment rates
  • Speed-to-booking tracked by source, campaign, and recruiter
  • !

Built for Your Stack

The Engine Works With What You Already Have.

You don't need to change your CRM, replace your SMS platform, or swap your booking tool. The Insights Engine connects to and optimizes the systems already running your development process.

The Insights Engine is the layer that connects all of it. It pulls from your paid media platforms, your CRM, your booking systems, and your engagement tools — optimizes how they communicate — and produces a single, unified picture of your franchise development operation that has never existed before.

"The brands that win aren't chasing cheaper leads. They're using the Engine to understand which leads convert — and investing accordingly."

📊
Your Google Analytics GA4 data flows directly into the Engine — website behavior, conversion events, and traffic sources unified with your full-funnel performance data.
📡
Your Ad Platforms Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Bing, and Instagram — all connected, unified, and attributed to the right outcomes.
💬
Your SMS & Engagement Platform Keptora AI™ or any SMS solution — booking signals, response times, and engagement data are fully captured and attributed.
🗂️
Your CRM ActiveCampaign, FranConnect, HubSpot, or any of 10+ supported CRMs — pipeline stages, deal data, and award attribution all connected.

The Insights Engine is your frantech coach. It doesn't replace your players — it sits above your entire stack, watches every signal, and tells you what the data means for your next awarded unit.

Only 3 of your 27 recommended CRM fields are active. You're missing booking, kept, and no-show tracking — which means I can't calculate your true cost per awarded unit or identify which campaigns are actually closing deals.
