B2C app startups · Search engine optimisation

Be the answer when someone searches for what the app does, before they know its name.

SEO for a B2C app covers two searches: the one on the web, where a person describes a problem, and the one inside the Play Store and App Store, where they look for a tool. GullySales works on both, so a user with the problem finds the app and reaches the right store link.

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 B2C app startups

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

  • “People search for the problem, not the brand”

    A user looking to split a bill, track a workout or prepare for an exam types the task. A new app has no name recognition yet, so the page that answers the task is the way in. A homepage that only lists features has nothing to match.

  • “The store is a search engine of its own”

    Inside Google Play, the title, short description and the words in the long description feed the results. Keyword stuffing makes the page unreadable to the person deciding, so the listing has to read well first and match the searched phrase second.

  • “Web pages and deep links must lead somewhere”

    A visitor from search lands on a page about a topic and taps the install button. If the link opens the wrong store page, or the app opens on its home screen rather than the thing they searched for, the visit is wasted. The handover is part of SEO.

  • “Regional language searches are a separate field”

    A user searching in Hindi, Tamil or Kannada, or in English written in Roman script, meets different results from the one searching in English. An app with users in those languages that publishes only English pages is missing from the results those users see.

What we do

What we deliver for B2C app startups.

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

  1. Search demand map

    A list of the questions and tasks your users type, grouped by what they want to do, with the languages and spellings they use.

    Result: A page plan built on how users phrase the problem.

  2. Landing pages for each use

    One page per task the app solves, each with a clear answer, screenshots of the relevant screen and a store link.

    Result: Pages that answer a search and send the visitor to install.

  3. Store listing keyword pass

    Title, short description and long description rewritten so the searched phrases appear in sentences a person would read.

    Result: A listing that reads clearly and matches the search.

  4. Deep link and install handover check

    We test the path from a search result to the store to the first screen on both stores and note where the user lands.

    Result: A tested path from search to the correct app screen.

  5. Technical review of the web pages

    A check of page speed on a mid-range phone, indexing, titles and structured data, written up for your developers.

    Result: A fix list for the site, in order of effect.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions

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 search engine optimisation work runs

  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.

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.

Do app store pages count as SEO?
Yes, in the sense that the store ranks listings for searches. It is a separate system from web search, and the listing needs its own words, screenshots and reviews.
Will you guarantee a ranking?
No. Search results change and nobody controls them. We improve what you control, which is the pages, the listing and the handover, and we report what moved.
We have no website, only the store links. Is that a problem?
It limits what can be found. Even a few well-written pages give search something to show and give you a place to send creators and ads. We start with the tasks your users search for.
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.
