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.

Sales and marketing for wealth management firms, the overview.

Last updated 8 Nov 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 comes from someone ready to talk to an adviser. Investing tips comes from a reader. The bid should reflect that gap.

  • “Ad copy about returns brings compliance trouble”

    Advertising by wealth and investment businesses in India is governed by SEBI and AMFI rules. They depend on your registration and they change, so your own compliance adviser should check the current rules. Ads lead with the plan and the process, not with returns.

  • “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 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.

Who it is for

This is written for these wealth management firms.

  • Independent practices registered as investment advisers
  • Registered investment advisory firms
  • Portfolio management services
  • Family offices
  • Mutual fund distributors
  • Insurance and wealth practices
  • NRI-focused wealth advisers
  • Retirement and pension planning practices

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your compliance officer has not approved any advertisement wording, so each campaign would stall at review.
  • You expect paid clicks to replace the follow-up after a first meeting, which is where mandates are decided.

How it works

How the pay per click advertising 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

    Agree the whole budget

    We fix the total paid budget across platforms, who owns each ad account, and how much is open to moving.

  2. 2

    Audit tracking and accounts

    We check that conversions fire once, that calls and WhatsApp chats are counted, and that your enquiry sheet matches what the platforms say.

  3. 3

    Set one definition of success

    You and we agree what a qualified enquiry is and what an order is, so every platform is judged the same way.

  4. 4

    Build and launch the plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with shared naming and tags from day one.

  5. 5

    Read search terms and lead quality

    We review the queries that triggered ads and the enquiries that arrived, and remove waste before moving money.

  6. 6

    Reallocate and report

    Budget moves toward what is earning, within agreed limits. Results are reported against the baseline, at the frequency agreed in writing.

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

Tell us what you need
How do I run PPC for a wealth management firm?
Start with Google search ads on the planning and adviser searches your investors type. Send each ad to a page for that service, count booked first meetings and keep tip and calculator searches out. Your compliance adviser approves the wording before anything runs.
Is advertising allowed for wealth management and financial advisers in India?
Yes, within the rules for your registration. Advertising by wealth and investment businesses is governed by SEBI and AMFI rules, which change. Verify the current rules with your own compliance adviser before each campaign goes live.
What does wealth management PPC cost?
It depends on the investor type, the city and how many keywords you bid on, so no honest figure exists in the abstract. GullySales puts its fee in writing after reading your brief, split into our time, your media spend and production costs.
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 adviser 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. A prospect will not state a figure to a stranger. A form asking the service they need and the best time to call loses fewer people.
Which wealth management PPC services should I ask an agency for?
Ask for a keyword list with blocked searches, ad copy your compliance adviser can read, one landing page per service and a report on booked meetings. A report of clicks alone tells you nothing about mandates.
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.
