Franchise AiQ™ Debuts Franchise-Focused AI Tools to Streamline Growth, Cut Costs, and Automate Operations for U.S. Businesses
Franchise AiQ™, a new artificial intelligence company founded by Lane Houk and Luke Houk, officially launched this week to bring a transformative AI platform to franchise businesses across the United States. Built specifically for the franchise model, Franchise AiQ is already gaining momentum with early adopters in home services, RV dealerships, and commercial cleaning franchises.
What is Franchise AiQ™?
Franchise AiQ™ delivers an integrated suite of AI-powered tools that help franchises automate lead engagement, reactivate lost leads, improve local marketing, and drive multi-location expansion. Its modular platform was created to solve real challenges franchises face in marketing, sales, and operations.
How Can U.S. Franchises Benefit from AI Today?
AI is reshaping how franchises operate — and Franchise AiQ offers a frictionless way to adopt it. From responding to leads in seconds to scaling localized marketing efforts across territories, Franchise AiQ empowers both franchisors and franchisees with practical AI applications that deliver immediate impact.
Franchise AiQ™'s Four Core Products
- Engage AiQ™: Instantly connects with new leads using intelligent AI bots that respond within seconds, pre-qualify inquiries, and route them to the right local franchisee or sales team. This tool helps eliminate lead decay and increases conversion rates through fast, consistent follow-up.
- Revive AiQ™: An AI-powered remarketing engine that reactivates lost, cold, or unconverted leads through intelligent workflows, conversational SMS, and predictive timing. It turns forgotten prospects into new customers with zero additional ad spend.
- Local AiQ™: Provides multi-location franchises with automated local SEO, listings management, review generation, and geo-targeted content publishing. It ensures that each franchisee dominates their local market online while staying aligned with brand standards.
- Expand AiQ™: Helps franchisors attract, nurture, and convert new franchise candidates using AI-assisted voice qualification, CRM integration, and automated follow-up sequences. It shortens the franchise development cycle and supports strategic growth.
Why Is This Launch Significant Now?
As AI adoption accelerates, Franchise AiQ™ delivers a purpose-built solution that franchises can deploy today — without custom development or steep learning curves. The platform integrates seamlessly with CRMs and existing tools, enabling immediate productivity gains.
"We built Franchise AiQ to give franchises real, usable AI tools — not experiments," said Lane Houk, CEO of Franchise AiQ. "Our platform brings together years of franchise marketing experience and today’s best AI innovations to solve real business challenges that will have distinct, measurable impact."
"This isn’t just another AI tool. We’ve engineered a system tailored for the franchise world — flexible, scalable, and results-driven," added Luke Houk, CTO. "Franchises finally have a tech partner that understands their model and how to leverage AI to turn technology into impactful results."
