From 1 to 14 franchises in 3 years: the growth system behind France's #1 clearance network.

We took on the network's growth leadership: head-office and franchise acquisition, CRM, automation, AI agents and custom network-management software. The result: +111% head-office revenue, a cost per lead divided by 2.7, and a network that became the market leader in France.

Overview

Growth that is structured, tracked and optimized over time.

Les Débarrasseurs de l'Extrême is a French national network handling property clearance and cleanup work, including complex situations such as hoarding cases. The brief was not just to "do marketing" but to build a system able to generate inquiries continuously, qualify leads better and scale a franchise network while keeping lead quality high.

The challenge

Build a growth system to take the lead and scale the network.

From the start, three structural problems to solve in parallel to support the ambition of the head office and the franchisees.

  • Generate inquiries continuously

    Move beyond opportunistic acquisition and build a steady flow of qualified leads at national scale, on sensitive topics (hoarding situations, estate clearances).

  • Qualify and route at scale

    Assign every inquiry to the right franchise, track the quote and the signed deal, and feed the data back to optimize acquisition cost.

  • Manage a franchise network

    Give the head office a clear view of every location's performance (revenue, ROI, Google Ads, local SEO, Google Business, royalties) and equip the franchisees.

The solution

A complete system, steered by data.

Frequently asked questions

What you want to know.

  • How long does it take to build a comparable system?

    The first campaign results show up within the first weeks. The full system (rebuilt website + acquisition + CRM + network management) takes 3 to 6 months to put in place depending on starting maturity. Optimization then never stops.

  • Do you only work with franchise networks?

    No. The system adapts to any business that wants to combine managed acquisition, conversion and solid operations: SMBs, mid-market companies, national brands or multi-site networks. Network management is an add-on module.

  • What does the day-to-day collaboration look like?

    A structured weekly KPI check-in, a direct channel for operational topics, and a quarterly roadmap. The client keeps the final say on decisions; we bring the strategy, the execution and the data-driven steering.

  • Do you also produce the content and creative?

    Depending on needs, we produce the reassurance material, ad assets and proof content directly. Corporate communications (PR, events) usually stay on the client side.
