Financial planning firms · Local SEO

Be the planner a family finds near their own home.

Local SEO for a planning firm means keeping the Google profile and the local pages accurate, so a family searching for a planner in their area finds a real office and a real person. GullySales works on the profile, the area pages and the way the firm asks for reviews within the rules.

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 financial planning firms, the overview.

Last updated 18 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For financial planning firms

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

  • “Families prefer a planner they can reach”

    Plans are reviewed over years, and a family wants to know the planner can be met in the same city. A profile that shows the office, the hours and a name reads as reachable.

  • “Reviews carry rules for a registered adviser”

    A star rating helps a reader decide, but advisers face limits on testimonials and promotion. Ask your own compliance adviser what may appear on your profile before any review request goes out.

  • “A firm that works by video still gets area searches”

    A planner may meet clients online and still be searched for by city. The profile and area pages should say how meetings work, so the visitor does not assume a visit is required.

  • “Inconsistent details break trust”

    A different phone format or an old address on a directory listing makes the firm look careless. Matching details across the profile, the site and listings is dull work that readers notice.

What we do

What we deliver for financial planning firms.

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

  1. Google Business Profile set-up and tidy

    The profile completed with the correct business type, hours, services and a plain description of the firm.

    Result: The profile matches the website word for word.

  2. Area and locality pages

    Pages for the localities you serve, each describing how meetings are held and who attends.

    Result: A family in a given area finds a page written for it.

  3. Listing consistency check

    A review of the firm's details across directories and corrections where they differ.

    Result: One name, address and phone format appears everywhere.

  4. A review policy checked for your registration

    A short written approach to asking for reviews, drafted for your compliance adviser to approve.

    Result: The team knows what it may ask and what it must not.

  5. Photos of the office and the team

    A shot list for the office, the meeting room and the planner, so the profile shows real faces.

    Result: The profile shows the place a family will walk into.

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.

How it works

How the local SEO work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  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 recorded, and the branches falling behind come first in the next round of work.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need an office to appear locally?
A profile needs a genuine business address and the rules of the platform apply. Check the platform's current rules before listing. If you meet online only, we describe it plainly instead.
Can clients post reviews about our advice?
They may, and you cannot control that. What you may ask for and how you may reply depends on your registration, so check with your own adviser before replying or requesting any review.
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.
