Equipment rental companies · Pay per click advertising

Buy the six o'clock search for a machine that has to be on site by ten.

Pay-per-click advertising puts your yard in front of a contractor who needs a machine this week and will not wait for your website to rank. GullySales runs the search and call campaigns by machine category and by season, and judges them on rentals delivered rather than clicks.

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 equipment rental companies

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

  • “The click that matters happens before your counter opens”

    Superintendents book machines at six in the morning and on Sunday evening. Ads that run office hours only buy you the part of the day when every other yard is also answering.

  • “Half the traffic on rental keywords wants to buy”

    Used skid steer, boom lift for sale, rent to own, parts. A negative keyword list does more for a rental account than any amount of bid tuning.

  • “Weather moves the budget, not the calendar”

    A generator campaign is worth many times more in the week a storm is forecast than in the month either side of it. A flat daily budget misses that entirely.

  • “A homeowner clicking a 60-foot boom ad costs you twice”

    You pay for the click, and then your counter spends ten minutes explaining the trailer, the operator requirement and the rate.

What we do

What we deliver for equipment rental companies.

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

  1. Campaigns split by fleet category

    Aerial, earthmoving, temporary power and specialty run separately with their own budgets, because they have separate seasons and separate buyers.

    Result: Spend follows the categories sitting in the yard.

  2. A negative keyword list built for rental

    Sale, used, auction, rent to own, parts, repair, operator jobs, and the residential terms that bring weekend renters to commercial machines.

    Result: You stop paying for people who were never going to rent.

  3. Call ads timed to when contractors call

    Bids weighted to early mornings, Saturdays and the hours your after-hours line is genuinely covered, instead of an even schedule.

    Result: Ads run when somebody can answer.

  4. Storm and first-frost triggers

    Generator, pump and heater budgets raised against a forecast and dropped when the weather turns, rather than sitting on a fixed monthly figure.

    Result: Money lands in the week the phone is going to ring.

  5. Tracking tied to delivered rentals

    A tracking number on each campaign and a routine for matching a booked contract back to its source inside your rental system.

    Result: Cost per delivered rental replaces cost per click.

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 at a rental yard, and the ones to keep out.

Machine on rent plus area, such as JCB on rent in your city
Bid. The contractor needs a machine on site. Give each fleet category its own ad group, and name the area you deliver to and the hours the phone is answered.
Aerial and lifting hire, such as scissor lift or crane on rent
Bid. These buyers need a machine and an operator for a job at height or a lift. Say whether an operator and a trailer are included.
DG set, compressor and pump on rent
Bid, around the season for it, such as a power cut season or a wedding week. Mention the capacity range so a small buyer and a large buyer find the right machine.
Buy, second hand, price and used equipment searches
Block. Add buy, price, second hand, olx, for sale and cost of as negatives. These shoppers want to own a machine, not hire one.
Operator, driver, job and licence searches
Block. JCB operator job, crane operator licence, driver vacancy and training come from workers. Add them as negatives and read the search terms.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a call that asked about a machine, a date and a site, or a form that did. Mark which became a booking and which machine went out, so ads for machines you rarely have free can be dropped.

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 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.

  • Hours that fit your day, agreed up front

    Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should we advertise machines we rarely have free?
No. An ad for a category that is out for three weeks buys a call you have to turn away, and that caller rings the next yard. We pull categories out of the campaign when utilisation says they are gone.
Is it worth bidding against BigRentz?
Inside your delivery radius, yes, because the broker is bidding on the exact search a local contractor makes. Further out it is their game and their margin. We hold the radius to where your driver can deliver the same day.
Where should the click land?
Send each click to a page for that machine, with its size, the area you serve, whether an operator is included and a call button for the booking desk. A homepage makes the buyer hunt.
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.
