Online education and EdTech companies · Local SEO

Show up on Maps for the learning centre, and be honest about the classes that are online.

Local SEO for an EdTech company means getting a physical learning centre, hub or office found on Google Maps by learners nearby. An online-only course has no visitable address to list. GullySales builds the profile and listings for your centre and keeps the online and offline offers separate.

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.

Sales and marketing for online education and EdTech companies, the overview.

For online education and EdTech companies

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

  • “An online brand listing a home address”

    A profile for a company with no place where students visit breaks Google's rules and can be suspended. Only a real centre where learners come should be listed.

  • “The centre shows up as just a coaching centre”

    A hybrid provider with a Jayanagar or Dilsukhnagar centre loses searches because the category and services say nothing about what is taught there.

  • “Parents search by locality and board”

    A parent searching for tuition near their home reads recent reviews and checks the timings before calling. An old listing with a closed phone loses that call.

What we do

What we deliver for online education and EdTech companies.

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

  1. Google Business Profile for each centre

    A profile with the right category, services, timings and photographs for every centre, hub or office where learners actually visit.

    Result: A nearby learner finds the centre on Maps with correct details.

  2. Service list that names courses and boards

    The courses and boards taught at the centre, listed as services in the learner's own words, matched to your course pages.

    Result: A search for a subject or exam near a locality reaches the centre.

  3. Listings on Justdial, Sulekha and education directories

    Profiles on the directories parents use, with the same name, address and phone as your own site.

    Result: The centre looks the same wherever a parent checks it.

  4. Review routine for centre students

    A way to ask a satisfied student or parent for a Google review at the end of a term, within Google's current rules.

    Result: The centre shows recent reviews, not a gap of a year.

  5. Locality pages for the areas you draw from

    A page for each area the centre serves, such as Nagarbhavi or Kukatpally, written about the real batches and timings there.

    Result: A parent in that area sees the centre as their own.

How the result is measured

  • Map pack ranking
  • Local search visibility
  • Enquiries by locality

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

What Google weighs here

Check each factor against your centre before you spend on anything else.

Google weighs relevance, distance and prominence. For an EdTech provider the first job is deciding which of your locations a learner can truly visit.

Relevance: category and services
Choose the category that matches what the centre does, whether tuition, coaching or computer training. Add each course as a service with a plain description, so the listing matches the search.
Distance: where learners live
Draw the real area your batches serve. Parents rarely travel far for evening tuition, so check which localities your current students come from and build pages for those.
Prominence: reviews and mentions
Count the Google reviews the centre has and when the last was posted. Reply to each one, and ask satisfied students after a term ends, never in exchange for a discount.
Directories parents check
List the centre on Justdial, Sulekha and any education directory where you already get calls. Claim what exists first, because duplicate old listings split your reviews.
Name, address and phone consistency
Write the centre's name, address and phone number one way and use it everywhere. Check the Google profile, the website footer, the directory listings and the printed brochure.
Online-only courses
Do not create a Business Profile for an address where nobody visits. Check Google's current guidelines on service-area businesses, and put online batches on your website instead.

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 local SEO work runs

  1. 1

    Audit every listing

    We check the Google Business Profile and directory listings for every branch against what should actually be shown.

  2. 2

    Complete and correct

    Profiles are filled in fully and inconsistent details are corrected across every directory found.

  3. 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. 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. 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.

  • 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.

Tell us what you need
Can an online-only company have a Google Business Profile?
Only if students or customers can actually visit a staffed address, or if you serve them at their location. An online-only classroom does not qualify. Check Google's current guidelines, because an ineligible profile can be suspended without notice.
We run centres in several cities. Do we need a profile for each?
Yes, one for each centre that a learner can visit, each with its own address, timings, phone number and photographs. Do not copy one description across all of them, because Google and parents both read the difference.
A rival listed fake centres near us. What can we do?
Report the listing through Google's process, with the evidence such as a missing signboard or a residential address. Removal is Google's decision and can take time, so also keep your own listing accurate and well reviewed.
Should the profile use our course names in the business name?
No. Use your registered business name as it appears on your signboard. Google can refuse or suspend names with added keywords. Put course names in the services section and on your website instead.
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.
