API manufacturers · Digital marketing
Choose the few channels that actually reach formulators and importers.
Digital marketing for an API plant is the choice and coordination of the channels that reach formulators, contract manufacturers and importers. GullySales works on picking those channels, tying them to one buyer record and removing the ones that do not reach your market.
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 API manufacturers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A small buyer universe changes the arithmetic”
You are not after thousands of clicks. You need a few hundred named companies to know you exist. A channel that reaches them is worth more than one that reaches a crowd.
“Directories, search and events work together”
A buyer may meet you at a trade fair, look you up online, find a directory listing and then write. Each channel has to tell the same story, or the buyer decides the company is careless.
“Paid advertising suits some molecules and not others”
A molecule with several suppliers and clear search terms may justify a paid test. A rare intermediate with a handful of buyers is better served by direct outreach. The decision follows the molecule.
“Digital work stops at the plant gate”
The buyer eventually wants an audit, a sample and a call. The digital side should hand over cleanly to those steps, with the record showing what the buyer has already read and received.
What we do
What we deliver for API manufacturers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A channel plan by molecule group
A short plan stating which channels serve which molecules, and why others are left out.
Result: A one-page plan names the channels for each molecule group and the reason for each.
A single buyer record behind every channel
Enquiries from every channel flow into one place with a source tag.
Result: You can see all enquiries together and which channel each came from.
Consistent company information
One approved description, molecule list and document list used on every site and directory.
Result: A buyer sees the same company facts wherever they find you.
A directory and listing review
A check of your entries on the trade directories your buyers use, with corrections made.
Result: Your listings agree with each other and with the website.
A test plan for paid channels
A small, defined test on one molecule before more spend is considered.
Result: A written test states what was tried, what it cost and what came back.
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.

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.
