A multi-location buffet franchise lost booking intent across 100+ networks — dead Yelp reservation links, hours mismatches, and map pin drift at six Ontario stores.
Illustrative demo narrative — grounded in verified drift patterns from the FixWrong scan
The Mandarin Restaurant is one of Canada's most recognized Chinese buffet chains — a national franchise with locations across Ontario and other top Canadian markets. Guests discover locations through Google Maps, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Apple Maps, and dozens of AI-generated directory surfaces. When those listings drift from the official mandarinrestaurant.com source, reservation clicks, call routing, and walk-in intent leak to competitors or dead URLs.
Mandarin Franchise Corporation engaged FixWrong after internal ops flagged recurring support tickets: guests clicking "Reserve" on Yelp landed on mandarinrestaurant-dead-404.com; Google Maps pins for the Toronto Yonge St flagship sat 150m from the entrance; MapQuest listed stale reservation lines. The pattern repeated across locations — not one bad listing, but directory drift at scale.
FixWrong ran a zero-cost diagnostic crawl across 100+ networks for six representative Ontario locations, matched each profile against the official locations index, and queued fixes only where drift was provable. Autonomous agents submitted verified corrections; billing triggered only after post-fix re-crawl confirmed the live listing matched truth. Pay-after-fix pricing ($49–$149 per verified correction) aligned spend to recovered value, not scan volume.
Outcome framing below is illustrative demo data grounded in the Value Capture Matrix — monthly revenue protected ranges per store, rolled up to the franchise total. The +18% intent recovery figure matches the verified Google Maps attribution on the Toronto flagship after booking-link and coordinate corrections.
