Banks · Pay per click advertising
Show up for the personal loan interest rate search, not just your bank's own name.
PPC for a bank is paid search advertising aimed at what a customer actually types, such as personal loan interest rate or current account opening. GullySales runs it branch by branch, with copy your compliance team has approved, and sizes the spend to what the loan desk can process.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 banks
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Rate-comparison searches are high-intent and worth bidding on”
A customer searching for a specific loan's interest rate is close to a decision, and a well-targeted advertisement with an accurate, competitive rate stated clearly can capture that enquiry directly.
“Compliance shapes what the advertisement can say”
Any rate or offer stated in a paid advertisement needs to match current terms exactly and include required disclosures. That is meaningfully different from how a typical retail advertiser would write the same ad.
“Local targeting matters even for a large bank”
A branch-specific campaign targeting a locality for a business loan reaches a more relevant, convertible audience than a broad, nationwide advertisement for the same product.
What we do
What we deliver for banks.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
High-intent keyword campaigns
Campaigns targeting specific searches such as personal loan interest rate, rather than broad brand terms.
Result: You appear for the search of a customer close to deciding.
Compliance-checked ad copy
Advertisement copy stating a rate or offer exactly as current terms allow, with the required disclosures included.
Result: Every ad says exactly what your compliance team has approved.
Branch-level local targeting
Campaigns targeting a specific locality for a product such as a business loan, rather than one nationwide advertisement.
Result: The ad reaches the customer most likely to actually visit that branch.
Spend sized to branch processing capacity
A budget set against how many resulting enquiries your branch can actually process well, not an arbitrary figure.
Result: Enquiries generated do not outpace what the branch can handle.
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
The searches worth paying for at a bank branch, and the ones to keep out.
- Product plus city, such as home loan in Pune
- Bid. A branch can serve a local borrower, so run campaigns by product and by the branch's catchment, and show the branch address. Copy goes through your compliance team before it runs.
- Rate and eligibility searches, such as personal loan interest rate
- Bid, with a page that carries the current rate and charges as the bank publishes them and links the terms. Someone must own that page and keep it current, or the advert points at old rates.
- Instant loan, loan waiver and without CIBIL searches
- Block. These searchers want what a bank cannot offer, and an advert that seems to promise it brings complaints. Add waiver, instant approval, without documents and without CIBIL as negatives.
- Customer care, net banking login, balance, jobs and exams
- Block. Existing customers and job seekers search the bank's name with these words. Add customer care, toll free, login, balance, recruitment, clerk and exam so they do not use up the loan budget.
- Where the click lands
- Send the click to the product page for that branch, with the disclosures, and a callback form asking the product, the city and a convenient time. Do not use the bank's home page.
- Counting a real enquiry
- Count a callback request or a call logged by the branch against a product. Then follow it in the lead register to application and disbursal, shared with the loan desk.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

- 3
Build the cross-platform plan
Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

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.
