Branding and graphic design studios · Reputation management
One angry client sits at the top for a long time.
Reputation management for a design studio is what a founder finds when they check you out: a handful of Google reviews, or a complaint about revisions on a forum. GullySales watches what is said, drafts the reply to a bad review, and collects reviews describing how you work.
What reputation management means
Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

Sales and marketing for branding and graphic design studios, the overview.
For branding and graphic design studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Fifteen projects a year, fifteen chances at a review”
A clinic buries a bad one under a hundred. A studio cannot.
“The review you need describes the process”
The line you want says you asked about the business before showing colours, not that the logo is lovely.
“Answer a copying accusation once, with facts”
Post the brief, the routes shown and the dates, then stop. Every future client reads it.
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.
A review ask timed to the launch
A short request sent the week the signboard goes up or the pack reaches a shelf, prompting the client to describe how the project ran.
Result: The review describes working with you, not just the logo.
A shortlist of which clients to ask
Past projects sorted into the ones that ended well and the ones that did not, so the request only goes where the answer will be fair.
Result: You are not inviting a review of the job that went wrong.
A drafted reply to a bad review
A response to a complaint about revisions or delays, written with you, stating what was agreed and what you offered, and posted once.
Result: A future client reads your account beside theirs.
A single factual post for a copying accusation
The brief, the routes shown, the dates and the working files, assembled and ready before any accusation is made, published once and left there.
Result: You stop arguing in comment threads.
Watches on the studio name and the founder's name
Alerts on search, Google, Instagram and the design forums, so a thread about your studio is found by you rather than by a prospect.
Result: You read it before your next client does.
A monthly note on what is being said
Mentions found, replies made and the complaint that keeps repeating, set against the baseline recorded at the audit.
Result: The same argument about revisions stops happening.
How the result is measured
- Average rating
- Response time to reviews
- Negative mentions resolved
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.

A handover conversation and retainer offer so the next brochure, pack or signboard comes back to the studio.

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.
