Russo's NY Pizza case study

Overview

Russo’s New York Pizzeria was looking to enhance both the look and the conversion rate of their corporate and franchise websites. In addition, they wanted to provide a more comprehensive digital offering to their Franchisees and engaged DigiSphere as their agency of record to create a comprehensive franchisee marketing package for their Franchisees to have access to. They also wanted to offer better free resources to their Franchisees digitally.

The first step was to provide a better architecture and visual online presence for their Corporate and Franchise sites. The Corporate site needed to provide much better interfaces for finding Franchise Locations and helping those locations convert more sales when found. The Franchise site needed to tell the store faster and increase conversions of new potential Franchisees. Some of the challenges we had to solve included:

• Revamping the locations finder for domestic and international franchise locations

Giving Franchisees a better digital presence that converts more direct sales and directions from the main corporate site

Providing a better architecture and site layout/design on the Franchise site to be more concise and direct, and increase franchising lead conversions.

Implementing Schema Markup throughout the sites as well as marking up FAQ pages.

Better Organic results from on-page and off-page optimization strategy implementation.

Better GTM and GA Implementation to refine is being reported on, so the company can make better business decisions and have more visibility down to the Franchise store level.

Providing a corporate marketing program that works for all Franchisees to increase their online presence and increase sales.

With the launch of the redesigned Corporate and Franchise sites, the client was able to realize better control, better branding consistency, and better business decision-making with the assistance of better data, and provided a comprehensive marketing solution to all of its Franchise locations.

DigiSphere can interface with the entire range of Russo’s team members internally, from operations to their internal social and marketing employees, to present a more well-thought-out and comprehensive marketing strategy across the entire global brand.
