AI startups · Digital marketing

Choose a few channels that reach the owner of one job, then measure them.

Digital marketing for an AI startup is the plan that joins search, social, content, email and paid activity around a single use case. GullySales chooses the few channels that reach the function owner and records what each one brings in.

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 AI startups

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

  • “Every channel at once spreads a small team thin”

    A startup with a founder and one marketer cannot run search, video, ads and events together. Picking the two channels the buyer uses and doing them properly beats a thin presence everywhere.

  • “Paid ads need a page worth landing on”

    Sending paid traffic to a home page full of capabilities wastes the click. A page for one job with a sample and one clear action gives the spend something to work with.

  • “Measurement stops at the click”

    Visits and form fills are easy to count. What matters is which enquiries became pilots, and that needs the enquiry source carried into the sales record.

What we do

What we deliver for AI startups.

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

  1. A one-use-case marketing plan

    A written plan naming the buyer role, the channels, the message and what will be checked.

    Result: The team agrees on what is being done and why.

  2. Channel choice

    A short comparison of search, LinkedIn, communities, email and partners for your buyer.

    Result: Effort goes to the places your buyer reads.

  3. Landing pages for campaigns

    Pages built for a single job and a single action, with a sample and stated limits.

    Result: Campaign visitors land on a page that matches their search.

  4. Email nurture for warm enquiries

    A set of useful messages for people who have asked but not yet booked.

    Result: Interested buyers hear from you between calls.

  5. A source-to-pilot report

    A simple table showing each enquiry source and how far its deals have gone.

    Result: You can see which channel brings pilots, not just clicks.

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

How the digital marketing 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

    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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

How much should an early AI startup spend on ads?
Start with an amount you can afford to lose while testing one page and one audience. We do not set a figure in advance, since results depend on your buyer and product.
Is digital marketing worth it before we have a case study?
Yes, if you keep claims modest and show samples. A case study helps later, but a clear use-case page, honest limits and good follow-up can start conversations without one.
Do we need an agency or an in-house marketer?
That depends on volume and budget. Early teams use GullySales to set the plan and the pages, then hire when the work becomes daily. We tell you when that point is near.
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.
