Metal fabrication and laser cutting units · Pay per click advertising

Buy the search a purchase engineer makes from inside the plant.

Paid search puts a job shop in front of buyers looking for a process near them, on a phone and in a hurry. GullySales runs the campaigns around your delivery radius, blocks the machine and scrap searches that drain the budget, and reports on drawings received 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 metal fabrication and laser cutting units

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

  • “Machine buyers outnumber job buyers on the same words”

    Laser cutting machine price and CNC machine dealer sit beside laser cutting job work. Without a block list you pay for people selling to you.

  • “The radius matters more than the keyword”

    Sheet metal is heavy and freight decides the rate, so a click from four hundred kilometres away is money gone.

  • “The ad has to survive a ten-second look”

    A purchase engineer standing on a shop floor wants the material, the thickness and a number to call, not a form asking for a designation.

What we do

What we deliver for metal fabrication and laser cutting units.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. Campaigns drawn to your delivery radius

    Search campaigns set around the estates you can economically deliver to, with bids weighted towards the belts your existing buyers sit in.

    Result: The budget goes where a job is worth taking.

  2. A block list for machines, scrap and courses

    Negative keywords for machine sales, second-hand plant, scrap dealers, training courses and job seekers, reviewed as new terms appear.

    Result: You stop paying for searches that could never become a drawing.

  3. Separate campaigns for industrial and domestic work

    One campaign for job work and panel fabrication, another for gates, grills and railings, each with its own page, budget and hours.

    Result: House enquiries stop eating the money meant for OEM work.

  4. Landing pages built for a phone on a shop floor

    A short page with the process, the materials, the thickness range, a call button and an upload field for a drawing.

    Result: A drawing arrives without a phone call being needed.

  5. Call and WhatsApp tracking on each campaign

    Every call and message from an ad recorded against its campaign, so a busy week can be traced back to the spend that caused it.

    Result: Ad performance is judged on enquiries, not impressions.

  6. Monthly cost per drawing received

    Spend compared with drawings received and jobs won, by campaign and by area, against the baseline recorded before work starts.

    Result: You can see what a new customer actually cost.

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 a buyer with a drawing types, and the ones that bring only machine buyers and gate hunters.

Laser cutting service near me, plus material such as MS, SS or aluminium sheet
Bid. A buyer who types a service and a material has a part to make. Put your sheet thickness range and bed size in the advert, so a buyer with a larger job knows to call.
Sheet metal fabrication, bending and enclosure making
Bid, in an ad group of its own. These buyers send a drawing and want bending and welding too. Ask for the DXF or PDF on the form before the call back.
Laser cutting machine price, CNC machine and fibre laser
Block. These searchers want to buy a machine, not a part. Add machine, price, fibre laser, CNC, second hand, buy and manufacturer as negatives.
Laser cutting course, job and operator
Block. Operators and trainees search the same words. Add job, vacancy, operator, course, training, salary and institute as negatives.
Where the click lands
Send it to a page that accepts a drawing upload and asks material, thickness, quantity and delivery town. An engineer with a file wants a place to drop it, not a services page.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a drawing uploaded or WhatsApped with quantity, or a call that asks for a quote on a named part. Log each against the campaign and mark the ones that became a quote and a job.

Who it is for

This is written for these metal fabrication and laser cutting units.

  • CNC laser cutting job shops
  • Sheet metal fabrication units
  • Structural steel fabricators
  • Precision sheet metal and enclosure makers
  • Decorative and architectural metal work studios
  • Gate, grill, railing and shed fabricators
  • Stainless steel kitchen and equipment fabricators
  • Powder coating and finishing units

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Nobody reads the enquiries from the advert, so paid clicks would turn into unanswered calls.
  • You have not decided the delivery radius, so the budget would pay for clicks from places you cannot serve at a viable freight cost.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

PPC ads for metal fabrication and laser cutting units: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

Bring search-term reports, conversion definitions, and the sales outcome of past enquiries where available. Identify products, locations, and enquiries you cannot serve.

Make the scope clear

Choose the offer and landing page before setting a media budget. Agree who pays the platform, which actions count as conversions, and how unsuitable searches will be reviewed.

Check the work in use

Trace a test enquiry from the advert to the sales record. Review qualified enquiries and orders alongside spend, and separate duplicates or spam from genuine buyer demand.

Know when to change course

If the advert generates enquiries that do not fit, revise targeting and qualification before increasing spend. If suitable enquiries are lost after contact, work on the sales process.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

Before we start

What to have ready before the work starts.

The records, access and decisions this work needs from metal fabrication and laser cutting units. Anything missing is noted in the written scope, with who will supply it.

Access to the Google Ads account
If an earlier agency or a relative created the account, the owner must be able to prove ownership and give us manager access. Old accounts carry history and wasted keywords that we must read before changing anything. Without access, we start a new account and lose the record of what was tried.
A list of the sites you refuse to serve
Name the towns, estates or distances where freight or travel makes the job unprofitable. The map of campaigns is built from this list, and paid clicks from outside it are money gone with no order. If you have no firm limit, we start narrow and widen only when drawings from the edge turn into orders.
One person to answer phone and WhatsApp
A paid enquiry that waits for the owner to return from the floor is wasted. Name the person who picks up during working hours and checks the drawing. If nobody is free, we cut the budget to what you can answer, because a click that meets a busy phone loses to the next shop.
Photos of the machines and finished jobs
Landing pages for a phone need real pictures of your floor, a part on the bed and a finished batch. A stock picture of a laser tells a buyer you have no machine. If photographs are missing, the owner takes them on a phone during the first visit and we use those.

How it works

How the pay per click advertising work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Draw the delivery radius on a map

    We sit with you and mark the industrial estates, towns and sites you will really deliver to, and the ones where freight eats the job. The radius is set from your transporter experience, not from a default. You tell us the distance beyond which you prefer to decline. The campaigns are then drawn to that map and nothing else.

  2. 2

    Sort past searches into jobs and noise

    We list the phrases a buyer types when they want a part cut, then mark the ones that bring machine sellers, scrap dealers and training seekers. You look at the list and strike what you would never serve. The struck words become the block list, which is checked again whenever new searches appear in the account.

  3. 3

    Set up the phone and WhatsApp tracking

    Before any money is spent, we put call tracking and a WhatsApp click counter on the landing pages, and test each with a drawing sent from your own phone. Someone in the office must be able to say which campaign a drawing came from. If that test fails, we correct it first and delay the launch.

  4. 4

    Write ads with the estimator

    Your estimator tells us what a good enquiry sounds like: sheet, thickness, quantity and delivery site. We write ads and a landing page that attract that and put off one-piece curiosity. You approve every claim about material and tolerance. Industrial and gate work get separate ads, so a plant buyer is never shown a railing.

  5. 5

    Review the drawings that arrived

    After the campaigns start we sit with your quotation clerk and go through each drawing received, checking which were quoted, which were declined and which were never real jobs. The block list and radius are adjusted from that. You see the cost against drawings, and from that you decide whether the budget moves or stays.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Are Google ads worth it for a job shop?
For laser cutting and bending in a busy industrial belt, yes, because buyers search at the moment a drawing is released. The cost only works if somebody owns the quote, so we look at your reply time before recommending any spend.
Should we advertise for gate and grill work?
Only in a tight radius and only in the months houses are finishing in your area. Maps and JustDial bring most of that work free, so ads are the top-up, not the base.
Should we run a call-only advert for laser cutting?
Rarely. A buyer needs to send a drawing, and a call cannot carry it. Use a form or a WhatsApp link that takes a file. Keep call-only for local gate and grill repairs, where the buyer describes a job aloud.
How far from the shop should the adverts reach?
As far as your own pickup and delivery reaches for the weight and size you cut. Set the area around your unit, and add far districts as exclusions if their calls end on freight. Widen only when repeat buyers from there appear.
Can we pause the ads when the shop is full?
Yes, and you should. A campaign can be paused or lowered the day you tell us the machines are booked, so you are not paying for drawings you cannot take. We agree beforehand who in your office tells us, whether the production head or the owner. When capacity returns, the campaigns restart with the same block list and radius, so nothing needs rebuilding. Pausing is a normal use of the account, not a failure of the plan.
Will you manage the ad account in our name?
The account stays in your name, with you as owner and GullySales as manager. That means the campaigns, the history and the payment belong to your business, and you can remove our access if you ever choose to. We prefer this arrangement because an account held by an agency disappears with them. We agree in writing at the start which budget cap you set and who approves changes beyond it.
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.
