Hear From Some of Our WSI Franchisees

We’ve boasted about our powerful network of people who helped shape the WSI brand into what it is today and where it’s going tomorrow. And here are a few of them talking about what WSI means to them, why it’s special, and the value they get since joining our powerful WSI network.

“What I really like about the WSI model is that you can find your way. You can define your way and then scale it. That's actually the road to a million—find your way, find the customers, and leverage the experience that you earn."

Andreas Mueller-Schubert - WSI Franchisee

“As much as I had a lot of business experience, I didn't have any experience running a business. I understood PNLs from a corporate standpoint but that's a lot different than being a business owner. It really feels like WSI was a good balance between helping fuel the entrepreneurial spirit and the business background that I had."

Alison Lindemann - WSI Franchisee

“The reason we chose WSI is that we had a good comfort level with the support from Home Office. The training that we knew that we would get, and the support of the network were a huge part of it. Knowing that we had a lot of places, a lot of touch points to go out. And that was really something that sold us on the franchise."

Frequently Asked Questions About WSI’s Powerful Franchise Network

One of the greatest strengths of WSI is its powerful global franchise network. Our community of digital marketing professionals shares knowledge, collaborates on projects, and helps each other succeed. Below are answers to common questions about how the WSI network works, why it matters, and what makes it one of the most valuable parts of joining our franchise system.

What makes WSI’s franchise network “powerful”?

WSI’s franchise network is powerful because it connects hundreds of digital marketing professionals worldwide in a collaborative ecosystem. Unlike standalone agencies, franchisees gain access to a system where knowledge, resources, and proven strategies are constantly shared.

This power comes from both scale and diversity. With members across multiple regions and industries, the network ensures franchisees benefit from international best practices while tailoring solutions to local markets. For prospective owners, it means joining a brand where you never face business challenges alone—you’re supported by a global team with decades of experience.

How does being part of a global network benefit individual franchisees?

Being part of WSI’s global network gives franchisees a competitive advantage. You benefit from shared knowledge, peer mentorship, and access to expertise you might not have in-house. If a client needs a complex campaign or has a challenge outside your experience, someone in the network has likely solved it before.

This creates a collective intelligence that helps franchisees win more clients and deliver better results. It also builds confidence for new owners—knowing they can lean on a network of peers makes starting a business less risky and more rewarding.

Can franchisees collaborate on client projects?

Yes. Collaboration on client projects is one of the biggest advantages of WSI’s system. Franchisees can partner with peers to deliver services that require additional technical skills, capacity, or industry-specific knowledge.

This means you don’t have to turn away larger opportunities. Instead, you can scale by tapping into the strengths of other franchisees, increasing your revenue potential and offering clients enterprise-level solutions while still operating your own business.

How does the network help franchisees stay ahead of the curve?

WSI’s network acts as a real-time knowledge hub for digital marketing. Members share insights on SEO changes, new social platforms, marketing automation, and emerging technologies like AI search. Combined with WSI’s ongoing training and conferences, franchisees always have access to the latest industry best practices.

This is critical in an industry that evolves quickly. By staying ahead of trends, WSI franchisees remain competitive, provide more value to clients, and position themselves as trusted advisors rather than vendors.

Is the WSI network international in scope?

Yes, WSI’s network is truly international, with franchisees and consultants operating across multiple continents. This global reach gives the brand credibility and allows franchisees to deliver solutions backed by worldwide expertise.

At the same time, franchisees work locally, tailoring strategies to their markets. This global-local model ensures that WSI’s solutions are both cutting-edge and relevant—offering the reach of a global brand with the personalization of a local partner.

What kind of community does the network provide?

The WSI network is known for its collaborative and supportive culture. Franchisees connect regularly through conferences, workshops, peer groups, and online communities where they share best practices and offer guidance.

Many franchisees describe the network as a business family—where members not only collaborate on projects but also encourage each other to grow. This culture reduces the isolation of entrepreneurship and provides long-term motivation and accountability.

How does the network support franchisees who are new to marketing?

Franchisees without a digital marketing background rely on the collective expertise of the WSI network. New owners can lean on mentors, collaborate with experienced peers, and use WSI’s vetted supplier network to deliver high-quality solutions from day one.

This enables individuals with sales, business, or consulting experience to confidently enter the digital marketing space. Over time, they build expertise while already serving clients successfully, making the learning curve much more manageable.

What role does the network play in WSI’s long-term success?

The network is the foundation of WSI’s strength. By combining local entrepreneurship with global collaboration, WSI has built a system that adapts quickly to change and consistently delivers results for clients.

For franchisees, this means joining a brand where long-term success is a collective effort. The network drives innovation, strengthens credibility, and ensures that every member benefits from shared knowledge and global brand recognition—key reasons why many owners stay with WSI for the long run.

How do franchisees share knowledge and best practices within the network?

Franchisees share knowledge and best practices through a mix of formal programs and informal collaboration. WSI hosts global conferences, regional workshops, webinars, and online communities where owners exchange strategies, case studies, and lessons learned. These events often spotlight real-world examples of campaigns and innovations that franchisees can adapt for their own clients.

This culture of collaboration means new franchisees can shorten their learning curve, while experienced owners continue to evolve and innovate. The result is a network where knowledge flows freely, creating a competitive advantage for every member.

What kinds of businesses do franchisees typically work with?

WSI franchisees serve a wide range of businesses, from small local shops to multinational corporations. Many franchisees focus on helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) grow their visibility online, while others specialize in industries like professional services, eCommerce, healthcare, manufacturing, and local trades.

The flexibility of WSI’s model means franchisees can tailor their services to the markets and industries that best match their skills and local demand. With access to WSI’s global expertise and supplier network, owners can confidently deliver solutions for everything from local SEO projects to complex international digital marketing campaigns.
