Steel traders · Local SEO
Show up when a workshop near your yard searches for steel nearby.
Local SEO for a steel yard means making the yard, its address and its sections visible to buyers searching in your city or industrial area. A fabricator needing material by evening picks the yard closest with the stock. GullySales works on the Business Profile, the address details and the local pages that make the yard easy to choose.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What local SEO means
Local SEO is the work of making your business show up for searches that name your town or locality, such as a service plus an area name. GullySales sets up locality pages, local citations and map listings so nearby customers find you before a competitor across town.

For steel traders
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A lorry-driver and a buyer both search for the yard”
The buyer wants to know whether you hold the section. The driver wants the gate and the unloading side. A profile with a clear address, a pin on the right gate and the sections you hold serves both.
“Industrial areas have their own names”
Buyers search by locality, such as the estate or the road where workshops cluster. If your page and profile use a different name from the one buyers use, you will miss the search. Write the area as the buyers write it.
“Reviews from workshops carry weight”
A fabricator reading what another workshop said about delivery and weights trusts it more than a claim from the yard. Ask satisfied buyers for a review, and answer each one calmly, including the complaint about a weight.
“Opening hours matter in a trade of urgent orders”
A buyer who needs material the same evening checks whether the yard is open and who answers the phone. Wrong hours on a profile cost an order. Keep hours, holidays and the sales contact current.
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 Business Profile set-up and clean-up
Name, address, gate pin, hours, sections and contact checked and completed for the yard.
Result: The profile shows the right gate, hours and sections.
Locality pages for the areas you serve
One page for each industrial area or town you deliver to, naming the sections and any cutting service.
Result: A buyer in each area finds a page that names their area.
A review request routine
A short message sent to a buyer after a successful delivery, asking for a review in their own words.
Result: The yard has a steady flow of review requests tied to deliveries.
A consistent address and name check
The yard's name and address compared across directories and marketplaces, and corrected where they differ.
Result: Your listings match each other on name, address and phone.
Photo guidance for the yard
A short brief for photographing stock, the cutting area and the gate.
Result: The profile shows the real yard, not a stock image.

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.
How the local SEO work runs
- 1
Audit every listing
We check the Google Business Profile and directory listings for every branch against what should actually be shown.
- 2
Complete and correct
Profiles are filled in fully and inconsistent details are corrected across every directory found.
- 3
Build location pages
Each branch gets a page written for its own area, not a copy of the head office page with the address changed.
- 4
Set up review handling
A simple process for requesting and responding to reviews is put in place with whoever is closest to the customer.
- 5
Report and adjust
Map actions and enquiries per branch are reported, and branches falling behind are prioritised the next month.
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.
