Stock brokers · Pay per click advertising

Bid for the account opening, and turn the tip seeker away.

Pay-per-click advertising for a broking firm buys the search of an investor about to open an account, and every line of it counts as an advertisement by an exchange member. GullySales runs those campaigns with your compliance officer inside the process and the approval time built into the plan.

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 stock brokers

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

  • “Google verifies financial advertisers before you can spend”

    Running search ads in this category means passing the platform's own financial services verification using your registration details. That is paperwork before it is media, and it takes weeks.

  • “The keyword decides whether you get an investor or a grievance”

    Open demat account and share transmission bring people with a task in hand. Best intraday tips brings somebody who will be disappointed by everything you are allowed to say.

  • “Ad copy is where a performance claim sneaks in”

    Grow your wealth, better returns, proven calls. None of that survives a compliance review, and an ad running with it is the firm's problem rather than the agency's.

  • “The click is cheap next to the KYC that never finishes”

    An application that stops halfway cost the same in media as one that completed. The money is lost between the form and the first order.

What we do

What we deliver for stock brokers.

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

  1. Advertiser verification completed before spend starts

    The platform's financial services verification worked through with your registration details and the identity documents it asks for.

    Result: The account is cleared to run before you budget for it.

  2. Keywords chosen for the task, not the tip

    Terms around account opening, demat, transmission, IPO application and portfolio transfer, with recommendation and returns language blocked by negative keywords.

    Result: The clicks you pay for come from people with a job to do.

  3. Ad copy drafted to be reviewed

    Wording written for your compliance officer to check, with disclosures and registration details where the rules require them, and revisions done before scheduling.

    Result: Your compliance officer sees the ads before anybody else does.

  4. Landing pages that finish the KYC

    The page an ad points at built around the opening process itself, the documents needed and who to ring when it stalls.

    Result: Applications complete instead of stopping halfway.

  5. Tracking from click to funded account

    Each enquiry traced from form to KYC to first order, reported by keyword and by branch.

    Result: You can see the ads that produce active clients.

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 as a stock broker, and the ones to keep out.

Account opening searches, such as open demat account online
Bid, with copy your compliance officer has approved. Competition from apps is heavy here, so lead with what you offer that an app does not, such as a person who answers, and say what documents are needed.
Transfer and transmission searches, such as transfer shares to another demat
Bid. These investors have a job to do and need guidance. The page should list the documents and the steps, and give a contact for when the process stalls.
Tip and return searches, such as intraday tips or sure returns
Block. The searchers want recommendations, and an advert that appears for them can read as promising returns. Add jackpot, sure shot and multibagger as negatives.
Free account and zero brokerage searches
Block unless your own published charges support the claim. Any statement about charges in an advert must match your schedule and be cleared by your compliance officer before it runs.
Where the click lands
Send the click to a page that shows the account opening steps, the documents needed, your registration details and who to call. A page that completes the form will do better than a brochure.
Counting a real enquiry
Count an account that is opened and funded, or a call that completes a KYC step. A started form is not an enquiry. Report by branch and keyword, so you see which ads produce active clients.

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.

    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.

  • 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.

Can we advertise our brokerage rates?
A plain statement of what you charge is a different thing from a comparison claim about a competitor, and your compliance officer draws that line. We draft it and build the review days into the schedule, so the launch date is real.
Why is our cost per account so much higher than an app's?
Because they buy at national scale with a product that opens in minutes. A regional firm should not chase them on the same search. The narrow terms around transmission, IPO help and physical shares cost far less and bring people who want a person.
Can we use client testimonials or profit screenshots in adverts?
Do not. Advertising rules for exchange members and intermediaries differ and change, and anything that suggests returns is risky. Ask your compliance officer what is allowed, and use your process and service as the message.
Do we need to show our SEBI registration number in the advert?
Disclosure requirements change, so ask your compliance officer what the current rules need in the advert and on the page. At minimum, keep the registration and exchange details visible on the landing page the advert opens.
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.
