Water and fire damage restoration companies · Digital marketing

Plan for the freeze week and for the April when the phone stops.

Digital marketing for a restoration company is the plan deciding what runs in a storm week and what runs in a flat April. GullySales writes it across search, ads and partner visits, names who owns each part, and reports losses by source.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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.

For water and fire damage restoration companies

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

  • “Ten busy days have to pay for a quiet quarter”

    A freeze fills the schedule and then the crews sit until the next one. Put the quiet weeks to work on partners and rebuilds.

  • “Emergency marketing and relationship marketing are different jobs”

    One is bought by the click and switched on by a forecast. The other is a rep in a truck, and the budget conversation forgets it.

  • “Nobody in a restoration office has a spare hour”

    Your project manager is on a loss, your estimator is in Xactimate, and the owner is chasing a supplement. Give the work a name.

What we do

What we deliver for water and fire damage restoration companies.

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

  1. A year mapped against your own loss history

    Freeze weeks, storm season, flat months and holiday periods drawn from your last two years of jobs instead of from a generic calendar.

    Result: The plan follows the weather you actually get.

  2. Storm campaigns written before the forecast

    Ad schedules, a county page and a message to property managers prepared in advance and switched on the day the weather turns.

    Result: You are in front of them the week the pipes burst.

  3. The flat months given work of their own

    Partner visits, education sessions, rebuild follow-up for houses dried months ago, and the review chasing nobody does in January.

    Result: Crews and reps have something to do in April.

  4. One named owner for the marketing hour

    A person in the office with a fixed slot and a short list, with the drafting and the reporting done for them beforehand.

    Result: The work stops depending on a quiet week.

  5. Technician hiring kept in its own budget

    Advertising for water techs and carpenters run and reported apart, since a crew shortage and a job shortage call for opposite decisions.

    Result: You stop advertising for work you cannot staff.

  6. One report covering every source

    Losses by source, mitigation converted to reconstruction, and partners active that month, read against the baseline recorded at the start.

    Result: You can drop the channel that has never sent a job.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Where to start for restoration

Make the emergency phone work first, then build the partner visits that fill the flat months.

A profile that matches your phone hours
Set the Business Profile to the hours the emergency line is truly answered, list service areas and put the number first. Log each call's source and whether it became a job.
Emergency search for the losses you can reach
Run ads only for the losses you serve, such as burst pipe and flood, pointing to a page with the phone number and what happens on arrival. Record calls answered against calls missed.
One sheet for plumbers, roofers and agents
List every plumber, roofer, agent and property manager who has sent a loss, with visit dates and the jobs each sent. Visit the ones who send work before chasing new names.
A job file that runs through to rebuild
Mark each mitigation job with whether reconstruction was offered, won or lost. The gap shows whether money is leaking after the dry-out.
A review request after the home is back
Ask for a review once the family is settled, never in the first days of a loss. Record how many replied, and answer each one.
What to leave until later
Brand video and wide social campaigns can wait. The flat months need partner visits and past-client contact first.

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 digital marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

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.

  • 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How much of the budget should go to the emergency search?
Enough to be visible on the nights and weekends you can genuinely dispatch a crew. Past that point the money does more with your plumbers and property managers. The first conversation sets the first split and the report moves it.
What happens to the plan when a storm hits?
It switches over. The prepared storm campaign, the county page and the note to every property manager go out on the forecast rather than after the calls start. Everything else that month waits until the schedule clears.
Do we run the ads ourselves or pay an agency?
An agency can set up accounts and write pages, but the person who answers the emergency line decides whether the money works. Keep call handling in-house or with your answering service. Give an outsider the ad accounts only if they report recorded calls, not clicks.
A job came from an insurance programme and from our ads. How do we record it?
Use two columns: the first source the customer names, and whether a carrier or third-party administrator assigned the job. Assigned work is not won by ads, and mixing the two makes your ads look better or worse than they are.
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.
