Financial planning firms · Search engine optimisation
Show up when a family searches for help with a goal.
SEO for a planning firm means writing pages that match what a family types when a life event makes them look for a planner. GullySales works on the page structure, the wording of each page and the credentials a reader checks before booking.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

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.
“Searchers describe a goal, not a service”
A parent types how to save for a child's college abroad. A site that only says wealth management never answers that. Pages named after the goal match the words the family uses.
“Credentials are read before the advice is”
Readers look for the planner's qualification, registration and how the firm is paid. If these sit on a buried page, the visitor leaves for a firm that states them plainly near the top.
“Generic market commentary does not rank for a family”
A regular note on index movement attracts other planners and traders. A family wants to know what a plan contains and what a first meeting involves, so those pages deserve the effort.
“A thin site loses to a directory”
Aggregator listings fill the first screen for a general search. A firm wins on specific goals and a specific place, where a directory has nothing of its own to say.
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.
Goal and life-event page plan
A list of pages, each matched to a goal families search for, with the headings and questions each should answer.
Result: You hold a written plan of what the site will cover and why.
Page copy in plain words
Drafted copy for each page, avoiding jargon and any statement about returns.
Result: Each page reads clearly to a reader outside finance.
An about and credentials page
A page stating qualifications, registration, how the firm is paid and who will attend the meetings.
Result: A visitor finds the trust facts without searching.
Title and heading clean-up
Titles, headings and descriptions rewritten so each page says its goal and its place.
Result: Every page has a distinct title a searcher recognises.
Internal links between related goals
Links joining pages for related goals, such as a child's education and a home purchase.
Result: A reader moves from one need to the next without a search.

How it works
How the search engine optimisation 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
Audit and baseline
We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.
- 2
Decide what to rank for
We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.
- 3
Fix the foundations
Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.
- 4
Build the pages
A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.
- 5
Publish and earn mentions
Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.
- 6
Measure, report, adjust
At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.
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.
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.
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.
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.
