Food product manufacturers · Pay per click advertising

Advertise only where the shopper can actually buy the pack.

PPC for a food manufacturer means paying for searches in the districts where your stock already sits, and for the bulk buyer hunting for a supplier. GullySales sets the geography, writes the ads and checks spend against orders rather than clicks.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

For food product manufacturers

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

  • “An ad in a city with no stock wastes the money”

    A shopper who sees the ad, searches the app and finds nothing is a click you paid for twice.

  • “The margin on a ninety rupee pack is small”

    Consumer ads have to earn back a few rupees a unit, so only a repeat buyer makes the sums work.

  • “The bulk buyer is the cheaper click”

    A search for private label masala manufacturer costs less than a consumer search and can be worth a year of volume.

What we do

What we deliver for food product manufacturers.

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

  1. Consumer campaigns limited to stocked pin codes

    Ads shown only in the districts and quick commerce cities where a shopper can actually find the pack this week.

    Result: You stop paying for demand you cannot fill.

  2. A separate campaign for bulk and private label

    National ads on supplier terms, landing on a page with minimum order, certifications and lead time rather than the consumer store.

    Result: One large enquiry pays for a month of consumer ads.

  3. Money going out before the season, not during

    Spend raised ahead of Diwali gifting, the summer pickle months and school reopening, then turned down when the category goes quiet.

    Result: The budget follows the months people buy.

  4. Negative keywords against recipes and jobs

    Blocks on how to make, recipe, homemade, machinery and vacancy, reviewed against what people actually typed.

    Result: Your budget stops paying for cooks and job seekers.

  5. A landing page that matches the pack

    The exact pack, its size, its price and where to buy it, instead of a home page listing nine products.

    Result: A click lands on the thing the ad promised.

  6. Spend measured against orders

    Cost per order for consumer ads and cost per qualified enquiry for bulk, reported beside the figures from before the ads started.

    Result: You can see which of the two is carrying the other.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

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

Searches to bid on and block

The searches worth paying for as a food maker, and the ones to keep out.

Bulk and wholesale searches, such as masala powder wholesale supplier
Bid. A retailer, caterer or distributor is looking for a supplier. Land them on a page with pack sizes, minimum order and the area you can deliver to.
Private label and contract manufacturing searches
Bid, as a separate campaign. A brand owner wants a factory. Show the plant, the licence and the kinds of product you make, and ask for the quantity and the pack.
Product plus city, such as pickle online in a city where you have stock
Bid only where the pack can be bought or delivered. Set pin codes to the districts with stock, or the shopper clicks and finds nothing to buy.
Recipe, how to make, ingredient and home business searches
Block. How to make pickle, masala recipe, pickle business and ingredients come from home cooks and starters. Add them as negatives before the first day.
Jobs, franchise, machine price and licence searches
Block. Food factory job, franchise, packing machine price and licence process come from workers and starters. Add them as negatives and read the search terms.
Where the click lands, and what to count
Send the click to a page with the pack, the buying options and a bulk form. Do not make health claims on the page, and check the labelling rules your licence needs. Count a bulk enquiry with a quantity and a retailer who stocks the pack.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

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

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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 pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

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 advertise the pack or the company?
Both, in separate campaigns. Consumer ads run only where stock sits, and supplier ads run nationally for bulk and private label work.
Do quick commerce ads beat Google?
Inside the app they reach a shopper already buying groceries. Google reaches the distributor and the exporter, who Blinkit never will.
Should we advertise on Google or on quick commerce platforms?
Google reaches buyers who search for the product or a supplier. Quick commerce ads reach shoppers already on the app. Choose by where the buyer decides. Read each against orders, not views.
Can the advertisement make health or purity claims?
Be careful. Food labelling and advertising rules apply, and claims such as organic or healthy are watched. Describe the product and the ingredients factually, and check the current rules and your licence.
Should we sell on quick commerce apps?
If your product is bought on impulse or as a daily need in cities where these apps are strong, it is worth testing in one city first. Watch the fees, the packaging needs and whether reviews build, before adding more cities.
How do we stop distributors dumping our stock?
Track secondary sales, not just what you bill to the distributor. Give schemes on outlets reached and reorders, not on bulk loading, and review each distributor's sell-through every month.
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.
