Squareflo® Francise
Squareflo in your neck of the woods.
Squareflo® launched in Regina, Saskatchewan, in Canada on May 05, 2005. Since then, the Squareflo® brand has served hundreds of small-to-medium-sized businesses in need of web design, development, and various other digital marketing services. After more than 15 years serving mainly clients within this province, we want to spread our wings.
We are looking for partners to help us take our winning digital marketing services to new places.
Wherever business exists, we want a Squareflo® presence.
If you have a passion for digital marketing, but you're struggling to get your business off the ground, or if it is time for your traditional advertising company to expand its digital offering, consider partnering with us.

What we have to offer:
Over the past 15 years, helping hundreds of businesses with branding, web design, search engine optimization, social media, online advertising campaign management, and more we have learned a thing or two. Here's a detailed breakdown of what we bring to the table.
1) We offer a powerful yet user-friendly CMS clients are willing to pay a little extra for every month.
We spent the last 10 years developing our proprietary Content Management System (CMS), based on client feedback, and best practices.
We choose to build websites with our own CMS instead of WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Godaddy, and other popular platforms out there.
Our CMS allows our relatively small team to build high-performance websites within hours instead of days or weeks.
We can upgrade and improve hundreds of client sites in the time it would take to update a single WordPress site.
We ultimately have full control over our platform, which allows us to roll out valuable improvements and features based on our clients' needs.
Think of it like this. Whether we have 1 website or 10,000 websites build on our CMS, the labour we require to maintain our system is the same. Best of all, we've got the necessary labour covered, so that's one less thing you have to worry about.
Our profit margin continues to grow with every website client we add, and we're willing to share it with you.
Our CMS is specifically designed to make our job as Search Engine Optimization experts more efficient. And the templates we offer are designed from the ground up to perform well on search engines. We use the same templates as our clients, for our own sites, such as squareflo.com and floprint.com.
Squareflo's site is currently ranked #1 for searches like "SEO Regina", "web design Regina" etc.
When we make improvements to any of the templates used by our own, or our clients' sites, to improve search engine ranking, ALL our clients' websites instantly benefit from the improvements.
It's no coincidence that the website we build typically outrank WordPress and other websites in no time.
Due to the way our CMS is structured, we don't need to charge our clients every time they need a hand. Our CMS allows us to offer our clients setup, website design revisions, unlimited technical support, free upgrades, and reliable hosting for one low monthly fee.
Our CMS is not only a tool we use to build a better websites; it's the secret sauce that helps us retain our clients for many years.
A good website (that brings in new business) is a great stepping stone to upsell client services like dedicated SEO or PPC Campaign Management. It's the reason why we place so much emphasis on good web design.
2) We have hundreds of satisfied, active clients to call your own.
One of the challenges one faces when launching a web design or any internet marketing business is building an impressive client list.
Getting a meeting with a company that might be interested in your digital marketing services is easy. Getting them to trust that you can do the job is a different ball of wax.
Over the years, we have built an impressive list of clients—hundreds of active clients whose websites are powered by us. A growing number of these businesses rely on us for Search Engine Optimization, Online Ad Campaign Management, and more.
When we're engaged in an initial sales meeting with a prospective client, we leverage our client list to build trust and confidence in our abilities.
Imagine your next sales call, knowing you can claim hundreds of clients whose websites you can access as live examples.
3) We have an old, trusted domain name.
The fact that our domain name was registered in 2005 and has a relatively high domain authority score helps a lot.
Google trusts our domain.
Our domain name allows us to enter any local market and rise to the top of search engine results with less effort than someone starting a new company and a new domain name.
The way to show a client you can get them to the top of search results is simple: show them your website is #1 in your local area when anyone searched for SEO. We know how to get to #1, and our domain is a vital part of our strategy.
4) We have a proven business model focused on recurring revenue and low overhead.
We run a tight ship. Our operation in Regina operates with minimal overhead while maximizing recurring revenue. Our current staff to client ration in Regina is 1.5 staff per 200 clients. Now that's what we call lean as heck!
Our average website client spends $110/month, and our average SEO client spends an additional $400/month. You do the math.
Identifying prospects, generating good leads, creating proposals, building quotes, sending invoices, requesting production, getting paid etc. is easy with the systems we have set up. We'll even set you up with a virtual receptionist to answer in-bound calls, and we'll guide you when it comes to setting up your office. The latter is not needed. You could work from home or a local co-work space to keep your start-up cost low.
5) We have a proven sales process.
We have figured out just how to sell websites, SEO, and related digital marketing successfully. We'll train you and provide you with the tools and resources you need to sell digital marketing services effectively.
6) We'll take care of production. You take care of the rest.
We have built a system that allows our team to get the job done efficiently and consistently. We even have a training program in place to ramp up production if need. Let us handle the day-to-day production: building sites, graphic design, SEO, managing Ad campaigns etc. We love doing it, and we're good at it. What we need are boots on the ground, to ultimately take care of the rest. We need someone who can take care of sales (individually or build a team), local marketing efforts, community involvement, client relations, training, reporting, creating local content.
7) We offer fair compensation for your efforts.
Let's face it, you want to make money, and so do we. Besides a low franchise fee based on the size of the territory you want to cover, we'll do a 50-50 split on everything we do.
For example: if you sell a website, we'll build it with unlimited revisions. You're responsible for delivering the site to your client (we'll show you how we do it). You are also responsible for offering initial training if required so that the client updates their site.
We'll support you all along the way if you get stuck.
We'll provide you with training videos that show how each of our CMS modules works. We recommend you pass them on to the client. 9 out of 10 clients don't require in-person training once we provide them our training videos.
Another example: if you sell an SEO package, we'll go the work and take 70% of whatever we end up charging the client. We'll give you clear guidelines as well as a min rate you can charge. You can always charge a client a bit more than our suggested prices on a case-by-case basis.
Request a detailed list of the services you can currently sell, to see the exact revenue split we're offering.
8) Strength in numbers.
As our partner network grows, we'll continue to add value. We'll continue developing valuable resources to make your job easier. We'll invest in the development of our partner network. With every new partner and every new Squareflo® client acquired, individual partners will gain more leverage.
Vision for the future.
We're at the start of a new chapter for Squareflo®. Where we go from here, only time will tell. My vision for the future is to offer a Squareflo® presence all over the world. I envision hundreds of Squareflo partners, each running a local office with a sales team, supported by trusted brand visible wherever business owners go to find the services we offer. Partners and team members who care about our clients. A digital marketing brand built on individuals who can build strong relationships with their clients, based on trust and ultimately results!
I can imagine a day where Squareflo partners from all over the world will meet up once a year to share ideas and offer peer support. A day when a bunch of digital marketers will look back at the decision to be part of something larger, as the best decision they ever made.
