Advertising agencies · Pay per click advertising

Buy the searches that bring briefs, not calls asking for a rate card.

PPC for an advertising agency means paying for the searches an advertiser makes while a campaign is still being planned, such as a launch or admission agency in your city. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ads and checks spend against the briefs that arrive.

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend daily against enquiries received.

For advertising agencies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • The agency that buys media for everyone but itself

    You place client budgets every month and have never run a rupee of advertising for your own name.

  • A rate shopper costs the same click as a brief

    Exclude wording like cheapest hoarding rate so the budget reaches advertisers who are planning a campaign, not pricing one.

  • Season decides when the money goes out

    Spend ahead of RERA launches, admission season and the festival booking window, then go quiet while nobody is planning.

What we do

What we deliver for advertising agencies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Campaigns split by advertiser category

    One campaign for developers planning a launch, one for institutions before admissions, one for retail before the festive booking window, each with its own budget.

    Result: A quiet category cannot eat the money meant for a busy one.

  2. Ad text that leads with the plan, not the rate

    Ads naming the medium, the category and the campaign you would build, so a click comes from someone holding a brief rather than someone pricing a booking.

    Result: Fewer calls that open with what is your best rate.

  3. A landing page per category with a brief form

    A page matching the ad, ending in a form asking the category, the media under consideration, the budget range and the month the campaign has to run.

    Result: The enquiry arrives with enough in it to decide whether to pitch.

  4. A negative keyword list against rate shoppers and job seekers

    Blocks on cheapest, free, rate card, internship and advertising course, reviewed against what people actually typed each week.

    Result: Your budget stops paying for clicks that were never briefs.

  5. A spend calendar built on your clients' seasons

    Money going out before RERA launches, before admissions open and before festive booking closes, then turned down in the weeks when nobody is planning.

    Result: You advertise while advertisers are deciding.

  6. Client brands and their category terms excluded

    Every current client's brand name, and the category words you buy media against on their behalf, kept out of your own campaigns.

    Result: No client opens a review meeting asking why you bid on their name.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Who it is for

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

    We work the part after the enquiry as well: the reply, the follow-up, the proposal and the CRM your own pipeline runs on.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

    Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is it odd to bid on terms our own clients bid on?
Yes. Exclude a client's brand and the category terms you buy media against for them.
What should an agency spend on its own ads?
Enough to test two advertiser categories through one season. The free audit puts a starting figure against the briefs you need.
Can a traditional agency still grow when clients are moving to digital?
Yes, if it stops selling media alone. Builders, institutions and retailers still spend on print, radio and outdoor, and an agency that can plan those alongside digital keeps the whole budget.
Should we take part in pitches that ask for free creative?
Only when the account is worth it and the odds are fair. Ask how many agencies are pitching and whether a pitch fee is paid, and decline briefs where the creative could simply be taken and handed to a cheaper supplier.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
