Vocational training institutes · Pay per click advertising

Pay for the student choosing a trade course, not the one looking for a job.

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising for a vocational training institute means paying Google when someone searching for a course clicks your advert. GullySales builds campaigns by course, blocks the job-seeker searches that never enrol, and sends each click to a page that matches what was searched.

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 against enquiries received.

For vocational training institutes

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

  • “Job seekers click and nobody enrols”

    Searches like electrician vacancy or ITI jobs near me look close to a course search. The click costs the same and the person wants a job, not a classroom.

  • “Free-training searches bring the wrong crowd”

    People searching free government skill courses will not pay a fee, so a paid batch buys clicks that cannot convert. A funded batch wants them. The two need separate campaigns.

  • “The click lands on the homepage”

    A student who searched AC mechanic course lands on a rotating banner and a list of every course, and goes back to the results.

What we do

What we deliver for vocational training institutes.

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

  1. A campaign for each course

    Tally, electrician, beautician and the rest each with its own keywords, adverts and start date, so spend follows the batch that needs students.

    Result: Budget goes to the course with empty seats.

  2. A block list of searches that never enrol

    Vacancy, salary, jobs, free, admit card and result searches blocked, and checked against real search terms as they arrive.

    Result: You stop paying for people who wanted something else.

  3. A course page for every advert

    One page per course with the fee, certificate, batch timings and a call and WhatsApp button, loading on an ordinary phone.

    Result: The click lands on the answer to the search.

  4. Call and form tracking by course

    Each call and form tagged with the advert and the course, with the counsellor noting whether it was a genuine enquiry.

    Result: You count students who might enrol, not clicks.

  5. Advert hours matched to the desk

    Adverts and call buttons shown when a counsellor can answer, with a form and a WhatsApp reply covering the other hours.

    Result: Paid calls are not left ringing.

  6. Spend compared with paid admissions

    Enquiries, workshop visits and paid seats from each campaign, compared with the baseline recorded at the start.

    Result: You see what an admission costs from each course.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

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

Searches to bid on and block

Which searches are worth paying for when you teach a trade, and which only bring clicks.

Bid: course name plus your locality
Searches such as Tally course in Rajajinagar or beautician course near Nagarbhavi. The student has chosen a trade and is comparing nearby centres. Send the click to that course page.
Bid: course plus qualification
Searches such as electrician course after 10th or hardware networking course after diploma. The page should open with who can join and how soon the next batch starts.
Block: jobs, vacancy and salary
Anyone searching electrician jobs or salary wants a wage, not a classroom. Add these words as negatives and review the search terms report for new ones.
Block or separate: free and government courses
If your batches are paid, block free skill training. If you run a funded batch, give it its own campaign and page that follows the scheme's current rules.
Careful: rival institute names
Bidding on a rival's name is allowed in some places and not others, and invites a complaint. Check the platform's current policy, and put the budget behind your own course searches.
Where the click lands and what counts
Land on the course page, not the homepage. Count an enquiry only when the caller names a course and a batch, or the form says who is joining and when.

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 pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

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
Should we bid on our own institute name?
Only when a rival or a listing site is bidding on it. Your own page should already be first for your name. Read the search terms report for a few weeks and decide on the evidence, not a rule.
Are call-only adverts worth it when counsellors are busy?
They suit a centre where someone is always at the desk, because a missed paid call is a wasted click. If the desk runs out of hands during admissions, use a form and a WhatsApp button, and call back from the record.
Can we say placement in our adverts?
Say only what you can prove, such as employers who have interviewed your trainees. Advertising rules differ for education and training, change over time, and platforms reject adverts that overpromise, so have a legal adviser check the wording.
How do we tell which calls were genuine enquiries?
Have the counsellor mark each call as a course enquiry, a job seeker, a wrong number or an existing student. After a few batches that record shows which keywords bring students and which only bring noise.
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.
