Automation equipment manufacturers · Digital marketing

Start with the pages and contacts an engineer needs, then widen.

Digital marketing for an automation equipment maker is the set of channels that put your parts in front of specifiers and distributors: the website, search, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and email. GullySales works on the order in which to build them and on the record that shows which one brought an enquiry.

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 automation equipment manufacturers

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

  • “A site without datasheets cannot carry any channel”

    Ads, posts and emails all send the engineer to the website. If the page does not offer the datasheet and a technical contact, every other channel is spent on a dead end.

  • “Paid search is costly for broad terms”

    Terms such as drive or sensor draw students, traders and job seekers. Specific part types, ratings and protocols bring buyers. Start with the narrow terms your application engineers recognise.

  • “Email reaches the people you already know”

    Distributors and past buyers read a note about a new datasheet or stock. Mass mail to strangers rarely does anything. The list has to be built from real contacts and consent.

  • “Everything looks busy and nothing is traced”

    Without a record that connects an enquiry to a channel, the team credits whoever spoke last. The first decision is what to record, before spending more.

What we do

What we deliver for automation equipment manufacturers.

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

  1. A website foundation

    Product pages, datasheets and a technical contact placed before any campaign is started.

    Result: The site has a page and a datasheet for each family you want searched.

  2. A search plan from engineer searches

    A short list of part-type, rating and application searches to target, organic first and paid where useful.

    Result: Each target search names the page it should reach.

  3. A LinkedIn and WhatsApp routine

    Posts and replies that reach named engineers and distributors, with one action on each.

    Result: Each post and reply points to a product page or a contact.

  4. An email list built from consent

    Past buyers, distributors and sample requesters who agreed to hear from you, with a record of when.

    Result: The list shows source and permission for every address.

  5. An enquiry source record

    One sheet where every enquiry gets its channel, product and outcome.

    Result: You can read which channel brought each order.

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.

  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.

  • 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.

Should we do this in house or use an agency?
Your engineers know the product and should supply the facts. An agency or a specialist helps with the web, search and writing. Some makers split it: engineering owns accuracy, the outside team owns production and the record.
Which channel first on a small budget?
The website and datasheet pages, because every other channel points there. After that, pick the one your buyers already use, which for a panel builder is a phone call or WhatsApp, and make that route work.
How do we tell what worked?
Ask every enquirer how they found you and enter the answer, then match it to orders. Distributor sales make this hard, so ask the distributor to pass on the builder's name. Compare the record with ad dashboards instead of trusting either alone.
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.
