What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For customs clearance agents

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

  • “Searches name the port and the goods together”

    An importer looks for a clearance agent by combining a port, an airport or an inland depot with what is being moved. A single page called Our Services matches none of those combinations. Pages built around real pairings match the words typed.

  • “The urgent searcher reads one screen and calls”

    Someone searching with a held consignment does not browse. They scan for the port, a plain description of what you clear and a number to ring. A page that opens with company history loses them to the next result.

  • “Guidance pages bring the planning buyer”

    An exporter reading about a duty scheme, or an importer comparing documentation needs, is earlier in the decision. A clear explainer that stays general and points to a conversation brings that buyer to you before an emergency arrives.

  • “Old posts that give specific advice become a liability”

    Customs procedures and notifications are revised by the authorities. A page that quotes a rate or a rule as settled can mislead a reader later. General guidance with an invitation to ask is safer and ages better.

What we do

What we deliver for customs clearance agents.

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

  1. A search topic list for your ports and goods

    The searches an importer or exporter in your catchment would make, grouped by port, commodity and clearance type.

    Result: You can see which topics your site answers and which it ignores.

  2. Service pages by clearance type

    Separate pages for import clearance, export clearance, scheme support and bonded warehousing coordination, each written in plain words.

    Result: Each search lands on a page about that job.

  3. Commodity pages for your specialisms

    One page per trade you know well, covering the licences, documents and queries that trade meets, kept general.

    Result: A trader in that trade finds an agent who speaks their language.

  4. Titles and descriptions rewritten

    Page titles and descriptions that name the service, the port and the trade.

    Result: The search result itself says what you handle.

  5. A review of which pages bring calls

    A look at which pages are visited and which lead to enquiries, set against the baseline taken first.

    Result: You can see which content earns its place.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

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

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 search engine optimisation work runs

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

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.

Tell us what you need
Can we write about duty rates and classification?
Keep it general and explain what the buyer should bring to a conversation. Specific advice belongs in an engagement. Rules change, so avoid stating a rate or notification as current.
Will SEO put us first for our port?
No one can promise a position. We work on what you control: pages, wording and structure. Rankings depend on search engines and competitors, and we report on enquiries rather than positions.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
