Martial arts schools · Digital marketing

Join search, maps, social and messages into one path from parent to trial.

Digital marketing for a martial arts school is the combined work of search, maps, social pages and messaging that brings parents to a trial class. GullySales looks at the whole path from the first search to the grading reminder, then works on the weak points in it.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For martial arts schools

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

  • “Each channel is one step, not the whole path”

    A parent may see a social post, search for your name, read reviews and then message you. If one step is missing or wrong, the family drops out and you never see where.

  • “Spending on adverts before the basics wastes effort”

    An advert that sends a parent to a page with old timings or no trial form pays for a visit that ends nowhere. Fix the page and the reply first, then spend.

  • “A small school needs a few things done well”

    A dojo with one or two halls does not need every channel. A clear site, a complete map profile and a quick WhatsApp reply do more than a scattered effort across every channel.

  • “Measurement has to start before the work”

    Without the number of enquiries and trials before the work begins, nobody can say whether anything changed. A baseline taken first makes the later report honest.

What we do

What we deliver for martial arts schools.

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

  1. A review of your current presence

    A look at your site, map profile, social pages and enquiry handling, with a list of what is working and what is not.

    Result: You know where the path breaks.

  2. A baseline of enquiries and trials

    A count of enquiries by source, trials attended and enrolments, taken before changes begin.

    Result: Later results are measured against something real.

  3. A plan matched to your school

    A short plan naming the few channels worth your effort and the order to work on them.

    Result: Effort goes where it counts for your dojo.

  4. Consistent wording across channels

    The same description of your arts, batches and instructors on the site, map profile and social pages.

    Result: A parent sees one school wherever they look.

  5. A report against the baseline

    Enquiries by source, trials, enrolments and retention compared with the baseline.

    Result: You can check what changed and what did not.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for these martial arts schools.

  • Karate schools
  • Taekwondo academies
  • Judo and jiu-jitsu clubs
  • Kalaripayattu and traditional Indian martial arts
  • Mixed martial arts schools for children
  • Self-defence programmes for women and children

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 digital marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

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.

  • 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.

Where should a new school begin?
With the map profile, a clear batch page and a quick reply to every enquiry. Then add social posts and, if you wish, adverts.
Can you guarantee more students?
No. We cannot promise enrolments. We work on the path a parent follows and report the numbers against the baseline.
Do we need an agency or can the front desk do it?
Some of it the front desk can do well once set up. We build the structure and train your team, and you decide how much to hand over.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
