Heavy equipment and forklift dealers · Pay per click advertising

Buy the breakdown call and the part number, not the model browser.

Paid search for an equipment dealership works on the searches with a buyer behind them: a part number, a machine that will not start, a rental, a forklift service call. GullySales runs those campaigns, cuts out the manual and jobs traffic with negatives, and reports cost per quote rather than cost per click.

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 daily against enquiries received.

For heavy equipment and forklift dealers

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

  • A model number search is mostly not a buyer

    Put a model into Google and back comes an operator after a manual, a student after a spec sheet and somebody pricing a scale model. Paying for all three empties a budget fast.

  • The machine-down search closes in minutes

    A contractor whose loader will not start searches the brand and the word repair, then calls the first two numbers he sees. That click is worth more than any inventory click.

  • Year-end finance searches rise on their own

    Contractors doing the sums before 31 December search deduction and financing wording. A page that explains Section 179 in general terms and sends them to their accountant converts that traffic.

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.

  1. Campaigns split by intent, not by machine

    Separate budgets for parts, shop and field service, rental, and the few machine categories worth bidding on, each with its own landing page.

    Result: Spend goes where a call follows, not where the volume is.

  2. A negative keyword list drawn from this trade

    Manual, spec sheet, salary, hiring, scale model, parts diagram, for sale by owner and the auction sites, loaded before the campaign runs and reviewed against the search terms report.

    Result: You stop paying for readers and job hunters.

  3. Ad schedule matched to who is answering

    Ads running in the hours a person picks up, with agreed overlap hours when our team takes the call-back and books it into your system.

    Result: A paid call turns into a work order instead of a voicemail.

  4. Landing pages for parts and service

    A page that names the brands serviced, the shop bays, the field service radius and a phone number, instead of dropping a breakdown call on the homepage.

    Result: The call happens on the first screen.

  5. A fourth quarter finance campaign

    Search and email aimed at buyers deciding before year end, with the deduction explained in general terms and the reader told to confirm it with their own accountant.

    Result: Machines move in the weeks buyers are already deciding.

  6. Cost per quote and per parts order reported monthly

    Every call and form tracked through to a quote, a work order or a parts sale, priced by campaign against the audit baseline.

    Result: You can name the campaign that paid for a machine.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

    Renew on the numbers

How the work runs for heavy equipment and forklift dealers

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we advertise our used inventory on Google?
Rarely worth it. The marketplaces already reach that buyer and you pay for him twice. Put the money into parts, service and rental, where fewer dealers bid and the phone rings the same day.
How do we stop paying for people looking for manuals?
With a negative list written for this trade and kept up. Manual, PDF, spec sheet, salary, toy and parts diagram go in before anything runs. Then the search terms report gets read every month and new ones are added.
What hours do you cover?
The ones we agree with you before anything starts, and they go in writing. We name which hours of your working day are covered and which are not. We do not claim a US phone presence or round-the-clock answering.
Can you handle the leads from MachineryTrader and Machinio?
Yes, that is usually the first thing we take over. The enquiry is acknowledged, the machine's availability is checked against your inventory, and the buyer reaches your salesman with the basic questions already answered. Every enquiry is logged, so you can finally see what each listing subscription actually returns.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
