Heavy equipment and forklift dealers · Digital marketing
Decide what the subscriptions, the co-op fund and your own site each buy.
Digital marketing for an equipment dealership is the order of spending: marketplace subscriptions, paid search, your own website, and the manufacturer co-op money that mostly goes unclaimed. GullySales sets that order against your territory and the machines you need to move, then puts a source on everything.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

Sales and marketing for heavy equipment and forklift dealers, the overview.
For heavy equipment and forklift dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Co-op money sits unclaimed because of the paperwork”
The claim wants proof of the advertisement, the dates it ran and the invoice, in a format nobody at a dealership has time to assemble.
“Your dealer agreement draws a line on the map”
It names the counties you sell machines into, and advertising that spills past it wastes money and irritates the manufacturer. Your agreement decides what parts and service advertising may do.
“Three subscriptions, one inbox, no way to tell them apart”
MachineryTrader, Machinio and an auction listing all feed the same address. Without a source on each lead you renew all three on instinct.
What we do
What we deliver for heavy equipment and forklift dealers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written spend plan with a reason for each line
Every subscription, campaign and site project listed with what it is expected to bring and what would make you stop paying for it.
Result: The marketing budget stops being last year's invoices repeated.
Co-op claims prepared in the manufacturer format
Creative, dated proof of running and invoices assembled the way your programme asks, so the claim goes in with the campaign rather than months later.
Result: Money already allocated to your dealership gets used.
Source tagging across marketplaces, search and the phone
Tracked links on every listing site, a tracked number on the ads, and a source field the desk fills on every walk-in and call.
Result: Renewal decisions are made on enquiries rather than habit.
One set of dealership facts used everywhere
Brands carried, service radius, shop and parts hours, and the counties covered, written once and used on the site, the listings and every profile.
Result: Nothing online contradicts what your salesmen tell people.
Advertising kept inside the dealer agreement
Targeting drawn to your area of responsibility, with brand wording checked against the manufacturer rules before anything goes live.
Result: No campaign has to be pulled after a call from the rep.
A monthly report the owner will read
Enquiries by source, reply time, quotes sent, machines delivered and parts orders traced to a campaign, on one page against the audit baseline.
Result: The argument about what works is settled with numbers.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for heavy equipment and forklift dealers
- 1
Trace last quarter's enquiries
In the free audit call we follow the listing enquiries and phone calls you received. How long did each wait, how many got a quote, and how many quotes were followed up?
- 2
Fix the first reply
Agreed overlap hours, a routine for answering listing enquiries and machine-down calls, and a record of every enquiry that both your salesmen and we can see.
- 3
Clean the inventory and the pages
Sold units down, new arrivals up with hours and photos, and model pages written for the jobs those machines do in your territory.
- 4
Rebuild the install base
Customer, machine and serial number pulled into one list, so parts, service and trade-cycle campaigns can be sent to the people who own the machines.
- 5
Chase the quotes and the rentals
A follow-up date on every quote, a conversion call on every long rental, and a monthly report that shows where machines were won and lost.

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.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
