Child welfare NGOs · Search engine optimisation

Let a sponsor searching for child support find your programme, not a child.

SEO for a child welfare NGO is the work of making your programme pages appear when a donor, volunteer or funder searches for ways to support children in your area. GullySales works on page structure, the words searchers use for each programme, and the trust pages that funders look for.

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

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For child welfare NGOs

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

  • “Searchers name the cause, not your charity”

    A person typing about sponsoring a child's education or supporting a children's home has no organisation in mind. Pages that explain each programme in plain words meet that search before the name does.

  • “One page for everything hides every programme”

    A site where the home, sponsorship, the helpline and school support share a single page gives a search engine nothing specific to show. Each programme needs its own address and its own ask.

  • “Funders search for proof before they search for stories”

    A CSR officer checking an NGO looks for the policy, the board and the registrations on the site. If those pages are thin or missing, the search ends there.

  • “Ranking should never cost a child's privacy”

    Photos with names, schools and home locations in captions and file names are indexed and found. Search work on a children's site has to start by cleaning what is already public.

What we do

What we deliver for child welfare NGOs.

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

  1. A search term list by programme

    Phrases a sponsor, a volunteer and a funder would type, grouped under sponsorship, shelter, school re-entry, nutrition and helpline.

    Result: Each programme has its own set of target phrases.

  2. Programme pages rewritten for search

    Clear headings, plain descriptions and one ask per page, with internal links between related programmes.

    Result: A visitor can reach any programme in one step.

  3. A public clean-up of images and captions

    A review of captions, file names and alt text so no child's name, school or home location appears in anything a search engine can read.

    Result: Nothing identifying a child is left in page text or image names.

  4. Trust pages built to be found

    The child protection summary, governance, audit and contact pages set up with clear titles, so a funder's search finds them quickly.

    Result: A funder searching for the policy lands on it.

  5. Technical checks

    Page speed on a phone, broken links, duplicate pages and a sitemap, fixed or listed for the web developer.

    Result: A short list of fixes with each marked done or open.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

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

How it works

How the search engine optimisation 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

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

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.

Can SEO bring in sponsors without ad spend?
It can bring searchers to your pages, and what they do next depends on the page. We do not promise rankings or gifts. The work is to make your programme pages clear and easy for search engines to read.
Should we publish the home's address for search?
No. Use the office or a general area, and keep the location of children's residences off public pages. Your safeguarding lead should approve any address before it goes live.
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.
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.
