storefronts lead to groundswell.
The more multi-storefronts you
have, the better chance one of
them will pop up in Google
searches.
The more your multi-storefronts
show up in on Google, the more
likely customers are going to find
them.
The more customers you have
coming in, the more likely you are
going to convert them,
maximizing revenue.
