Steel traders · Content marketing
Publish the guides a fabricator reads before choosing which yard to call.
Content marketing for a steel trader means writing the practical answers a buyer looks for before placing an order, such as how to specify a section or what a test certificate shows. It builds the yard's name as the one that explains. GullySales works on choosing the topics, writing them plainly and linking each to a stock page.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What content marketing means
Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For steel traders
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Buyers ask the same questions before every order”
Which grade suits a job, what the mill certificate must show, how weight is checked at delivery. A short guide that answers each one saves the salesperson a call and shows the buyer you know the material.
“A guide must carry the yard's own facts”
A general article on steel types can be found anywhere. A guide that says which sections you hold, which mills supply them and how your lorries are weighed gives the reader a reason to choose your yard.
“Contractors and fabricators read differently”
A contractor wants to know what to order for a slab or a column. A workshop wants cut lengths and tolerances. Write for one reader at a time, and say at the top who the guide is for.
“Technical claims need a source”
A guide that gives a specification or a code requirement must name the standard it comes from and be read by someone who knows it. A wrong figure on a page costs the yard more than a missing page.
What we do
What we deliver for steel traders.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A topic list from real questions
Questions pulled from the sales team's calls and enquiries, grouped by section and buyer type.
Result: Each topic on the list comes from something a buyer asked.
Guides written in plain language
Short pieces on specifying, ordering and checking steel, each ending with the sections you hold.
Result: Each guide leads the reader to a stock page and an enquiry route.
A review step for technical content
A check by your technical person before anything with a specification goes live.
Result: No technical guide goes out without a named reviewer.
A buyer-type reading list
Guides collected by reader, such as builders, workshops and shop owners.
Result: A salesperson can send the right guide to the right buyer.
A reuse plan
A way to cut each guide into a WhatsApp message, a post and a stock-page note.
Result: One guide serves several channels.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
