Special education schools · Digital marketing

Plan the school's online presence around what a worried parent needs to find.

Digital marketing for a special school joins the website, search, maps, WhatsApp and social pages into one route a parent can follow from search to a booked visit. GullySales plans which channels the school needs and which it leaves alone, with no promise of results.

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 special education schools

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

  • “Channels follow the parent's route”

    A parent hears the school's name from a therapist, searches it, checks the map, reads a page and sends a message. Each step has to agree with the one before, in name, address and what the school offers.

  • “Paid promotion needs the greatest care”

    Ads about disability reach people at a sensitive moment, and platforms apply their own rules to such advertising. Check the platform's current rules, and your trustees' view, before spending anything on paid reach.

  • “Doing less well beats doing everything”

    A small school with two staff for communication cannot run every channel. Choosing the website, the map listing and WhatsApp, and doing them properly, serves families better than six neglected pages.

What we do

What we deliver for special education schools.

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

  1. Channel plan

    A written choice of the channels the school will run, the ones it will not, and the reason for each.

    Result: The plan names what is left out as well as what is in.

  2. Route map from search to visit

    The steps a parent takes from a referral to a booked visit, with the page or message at each.

    Result: Each step links to the next.

  3. Consistent details sheet

    One set of school name, address, contact and description for every channel.

    Result: The same details appear everywhere.

  4. Enquiry source measures

    A simple record of where each enquiry came from, read with the team.

    Result: The team can name its main sources from the record.

  5. Staff roles for channels

    Who looks after the site, the profile, WhatsApp and social pages, and who covers when they are away.

    Result: Every channel has a named owner.

  6. Review sessions with the team

    Meetings to read the record together and decide what to keep, change or stop.

    Result: Each review ends with decisions written down.

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.

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.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Where should a small trust start?
With the website pages for the needs served, the Google Business Profile and a WhatsApp number answered by a trained person. These ask for staff time more than money and meet the family at each step.
Do we need an agency to run ads?
Not to begin. Ads are one choice among several, and advertising rules differ by profession and state. Check with your own council or adviser before deciding.
How will we know what works?
By reading the enquiry record by source with the team, and asking each new family how they found the school. We discuss what the record shows and promise no figure.
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.
