At 2GIS Franchising we want to create 2GIS directories of new cities for you, together with the DoubleGIS company, and to help you develop your 2GIS franchise.

2GIS started out in Russia, but we are now expanding around the world.

2GIS Franchising is one of the most dynamic developing franchise networks in Russia. The first franchisees were opened in 2005 and in just 7 years their number grew to 45 franchisees. In 2010 alone we opened 13 franchisees and in 2011 21 new franchisees were opened.  We expect similar success in other countries as well.

2GIS is the biggest local search service in Russia, and is available online and offline for PC and smartphones. The directory’s enormous audience (11 550 000 users) was achieved because of the product’s high quality and its free distribution.

How do you make money on our product?

Besides free placement of companies in the directory, 2GIS offers paid accounts featuring priority placement, custom banner graphics, texts and more Info pages to promote businesses. About 10 000 local businesses advertise in 2GIS. The number of 2GIS advertisers is constantly growing, and consequently, so is the income on advertisement selling. This makes 2GIS a highly profitable business.
