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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

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

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. 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. 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. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 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. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 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.

  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.

Can you get us to the top of Google?
No one can promise a position. We build pages that answer what families ask and make the firm's facts easy to read. Rankings depend on competitors, the search engine and time.
Is writing about taxes and markets enough?
Not alone. Those pages draw readers, but a family hiring a planner needs the goal pages and the credentials. Statements about tax and investing also need care, so have your compliance adviser read them.
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.
