Chartered accountants and accounting firms · Pay per click advertising
Settle the code question first, then buy only the words worth buying.
Pay per click advertising buys a listing above the search results, and for a member in practice that is a question for the ICAI code before it is a question of budget. GullySales puts the position in writing with your partners, and where advertising is not the route, spends the money on what brings the same enquiries.
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 chartered accountants and accounting firms
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The code comes before the keyword”
A bookkeeping portal can bid on accountant near me all day. Whether a member in practice may do the same is not a question a media buyer gets to answer.
“Which entity the advert names matters”
Several firms run a separate accounting or payroll company beside the practice. Your partners decide which name appears, and that changes the whole account.
“The clicks a practice regrets”
Salaried return filing at five hundred rupees and CA course searches empty a budget in a fortnight. Neither becomes a retainer.
What we do
What we deliver for chartered accountants and accounting firms.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written note on the code, put to your partners first
A plain summary of where the current ICAI and ICSI guidance sits on paid advertising, placed in front of the partners before any account is opened, with their decision recorded.
Result: Nobody buys a click the Institute would ask about.
Search terms sorted into the ones worth having
The keyword list split between owners with a problem, such as a notice reply or a first tax audit, and the salaried filing and coaching searches that only spend money.
Result: Budget goes where a retainer could come from.
Negative keywords for students, jobs and free filing
Blocks on CA final, articleship, salary, vacancy, free ITR filing and the software brand names people search when they want a tool rather than a firm.
Result: The budget stops paying for people who will never hire you.
A landing page per assignment, written factually
The page behind each advert covers one assignment, what it involves, what the client has to provide and how the fee is arrived at, with no comparison to any other firm.
Result: The click lands on an answer rather than a home page.
A qualifying form before a partner picks up
Entity type, turnover band, the deadline in hand and whether there is a current accountant, all asked on the form.
Result: A partner's time goes to the enquiry worth having.
Spend timed to the compliance calendar
Budget raised around the September tax audit date and the ROC filing months, held back in the weeks nobody is searching, with the monthly report showing what each period returned.
Result: Money is spent while the searches are being made.
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.

Not for

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.
