Cricket academies · Local SEO
Appear on the map for the parent who wants a net session close to home.
Local SEO for a cricket academy is how the ground shows on maps and in nearby searches for parents who will only drive a short way, on school days, with a child in the back seat. GullySales works on the listing, the location details and the way parents' reviews reach it.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 cricket academies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Parents choose the distance before the coach”
After school and before dark, a family drives a limited distance to a net. The listing that appears for the roads they use is the one they ring. A better academy across the city is never seen.
“A hired ground confuses the map”
An academy that uses a school or club ground may be pinned to the wrong gate. Parents arrive at a locked entrance and the first impression is a wasted evening. The pin, entrance and parking need to be exact.
“Evening batches need evening hours”
The listing shows the ground as closed at the hour the senior batch begins. Parents searching at that hour see a closed place. Hours that reflect each batch, and the days of tournaments, remove the mismatch.
“Reviews describe the coach in the parents' own words”
A parent reading the map result looks for how the coach treats a nervous child. Replies from the academy to those reviews are read as closely as the reviews. Be careful with any child's name or details.
What we do
What we deliver for cricket academies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A verified Business Profile with the right entrance
Pin, gate, parking and landmarks set so a first-time parent reaches the ground without calling.
Result: A new family finds the right gate on the first visit.
Hours that match the batches
Opening times, evening sessions and match-day changes entered on the listing and kept current.
Result: The ground shows as open when the batch is running.
Photographs of the ground and nets
Pitch, nets, seating and parking, taken in daylight, with no identifiable child shown without written consent.
Result: A parent can judge the ground before visiting.
A review request after a trial or a term
A short, polite ask sent to parents with a link, written to invite honest comment, with no reward offered.
Result: Recent reviews arrive from families who came.
Replies to parents' reviews
Plain, courteous answers that give no child's details and offer to talk by phone about a concern.
Result: A worried reader sees concerns met in public.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the local SEO work runs
- 1
Audit every listing
We check the Google Business Profile and directory listings for every branch against what should actually be shown.
- 2
Complete and correct
Profiles are filled in fully and inconsistent details are corrected across every directory found.
- 3
Build location pages
Each branch gets a page written for its own area, not a copy of the head office page with the address changed.
- 4
Set up review handling
A simple process for requesting and responding to reviews is put in place with whoever is closest to the customer.
- 5
Report and adjust
Map actions and enquiries per branch are reported, and branches falling behind are prioritised the next month.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
