The 2014 International Franchise Association (IFA) Convention was held in New Orleans from February 22 through 25. The Qiigo team just returned from this industry leading event. Franchise industry leaders visited the Qiigo booth to learn more about our software and services.
At the Convention, Qiigo introduced leading franchise executives to their newest team member, Captain Local! Captain Local and Qiigo’s Local Listing Management help national brands and franchises
control and manage their online local directory listings.
Online local directories drive SEO value and dominate 
local search results. Incorrect listings, wrong phone
numbers and duplicate listings lead to consumer confusion. Local Listing Management creates, claims, edits, and maintains online directory listings increasing SEO value and improving brand consistency.
