Wealth management firms · Pay per click advertising

Pay for the investor searching for a retirement plan this month, not for browsers.

PPC for a wealth management firm means paid search aimed at the investor typing retirement planning or NRI investment advisory this month. It does not chase everyone reading about markets. GullySales runs these campaigns with the checks financial advertising needs, and reports on mandates.

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.

Last updated 5 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 wealth management firms

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

  • “High-intent keywords cost more for a reason”

    A search for portfolio management services near me converts far better than a broad term like investing tips, and the bid should reflect that.

  • “Ad copy about returns needs a disclaimer”

    Claims implying guaranteed performance risk both compliance trouble and investor distrust, so ads lead with the plan and the process instead.

  • “Landing pages must match the ad, not the homepage”

    An ad for retirement planning that sends the investor to a general homepage loses the enquiry before the conversation even starts.

What we do

What we deliver for wealth management firms.

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

  1. Keyword list weighted to high-intent search

    A bid strategy that spends more on terms like portfolio management services near me than broad terms like investing tips.

    Result: Spend goes toward investors closer to a decision, not casual browsers.

  2. Compliance-checked ad copy templates

    Ad copy templates that lead with the plan and the process rather than implied returns, checked before every campaign goes live.

    Result: Campaigns run without risking a compliance or trust problem.

  3. Dedicated landing page per campaign

    A landing page matching each ad's exact topic, such as retirement planning, instead of sending clicks to the homepage.

    Result: An investor lands where the conversation actually continues.

  4. NRI-specific campaign package

    A separate campaign, ad copy and landing page built for NRI investors when that is the quarter's target.

    Result: You can push for one investor type without diluting the rest of the site.

  5. Ad performance report against mandates

    A report showing enquiries and first meetings from paid search, not just clicks and impressions.

    Result: You see whether the ad spend is actually reaching investors.

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 wealth management firm, and the ones to keep out.

Planning and service searches, such as retirement planning advisor
Bid, with copy your compliance officer has approved. These investors want an adviser and a process. Describe how you work, who you serve and how you are paid, in plain terms.
NRI searches, such as NRI investment advisor India
Bid in a separate campaign, with the country set and a page about the NRI process. Say what you can help with, and state that the rules for non-resident investors change.
Registered adviser searches, such as SEBI registered investment adviser
Bid. A person checking registration is close to a decision. Show the adviser names, the registration details and the type of registration on the landing page.
Tip and calculator searches, such as best mutual fund to buy
Block. The searchers want a recommendation or a tool. An advert that appears for them can read as a recommendation, which is a regulatory risk for a firm.
Where the click lands
Send the click to a page for that service with the advisers' names, your registration details, what a first meeting covers and a form asking which service, not how much money.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a booked first meeting with a named adviser, not a form fill. Report by campaign, and keep a column for meetings that turned into a signed mandate, since that is the only figure that justifies the spend.

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.

  2. 2

    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.

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.

  • 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.

Is advertising allowed for financial advisers in India?
Yes, within the advertising rules for registered advisers, which is why every campaign we run is checked before it goes live.
What is a reasonable budget to start?
It depends on the investor type you want and the city, and we set this after the first conversation rather than quoting a number in the abstract.
Can the advert show returns or client testimonials?
No. Rules on advertising for advisers and portfolio managers restrict return claims and testimonials, and they change. Ask your compliance officer what is allowed, and describe your process and your team instead.
Should the form ask for the amount an investor has to invest?
Ask for a range band if you need one, and explain why. Many prospects will not state a figure to a stranger. A form asking the service they need and the best time to call loses fewer people.
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.
