Branding and graphic design studios · Local SEO
Show up in the city a founder is searching from.
Local SEO for a design studio is appearing on Maps when a founder searches for a graphic designer or a branding agency in their own city. GullySales sets the Business Profile categories, gets the studio listed where local businesses look, and puts your work in the listing.
What local SEO means
Local SEO is the work of making your business show up for searches that name your town or locality, such as a service plus an area name. GullySales sets up locality pages, local citations and map listings so nearby customers find you before a competitor across town.

For branding and graphic design studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The category you pick decides the job you get”
Graphic designer brings visiting cards. Brand consultant brings projects.
“Many studios work from a room at home”
An unverified listing never shows. A service-area profile names the city and hides the street.
“Three photos are the whole pitch here”
Put the signboard, the pack on a shelf and the menu there. Not a desk.
What we do
What we deliver for branding and graphic design studios.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
The Business Profile category chosen on purpose
Brand consultant or graphic designer decided against the work you actually want, with secondary categories and the services list filled in to match.
Result: The listing brings the project and not the visiting card job.
A service area profile for a studio at home
The listing verified and set to show the city while the street stays hidden, with hours and a number that reaches you.
Result: You appear in the city search without publishing your address.
Three photographs chosen for the listing
A signboard, a pack on a shelf and a printed menu, replacing the picture of a desk, swapped as new work goes live.
Result: The listing shows work instead of furniture.
Listings where local businesses actually look
JustDial, the city business directories and the association pages your clients belong to, all carrying the same name, number and website.
Result: A founder checking you are real finds a real studio.
Pages for the parts of the city you work in
A page naming the localities and markets your clients trade in, with the projects you have done there, rather than a list of every city in India.
Result: A search that names an area has something to find.
Calls and profile visits reported monthly
What the listing produced each month, kept separate from referrals and measured against the baseline recorded before work began.
Result: You know whether Maps deserves the photographs.
How the result is measured
- Map pack ranking
- Local search visibility
- Enquiries by locality
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for branding and graphic design studios
- 1
Assess
During the free audit we review where your last projects came from, how quotes were decided, how many revision rounds each took, and which clients came back.

- 3

Case pages grouped by project type, with the brief and thinking behind each piece.

A handover conversation and retainer offer so the next brochure, pack or signboard comes back to the studio.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.

Why us
Why a studio brings us in for its own pipeline.
Marketing and sales, as one job
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.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

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