Event management companies · Pay per click advertising
Spend in the months families and HR teams are choosing, not the event month.
Pay per click advertising puts your company in front of someone planning an event before they ask a venue for a name. GullySales runs the search campaigns, asks for the date and guest count in the form, and checks spend against the enquiries worth having.
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 event management companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Ask for the date first”
A click for a date you are already booked costs the same as one you can take.
“The buying window is months early”
Wedding budgets are set long before the date, and corporate briefs go out before the year closes.
“Wedding and corporate cannot share a campaign”
A conference brief and a bride's family need different words and different pages.
What we do
What we deliver for event management companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Separate campaigns for wedding and corporate work
Two campaigns with their own budgets, wording and landing pages, so a dealer meet keyword never competes with a wedding planner one.
Result: Neither side of the business is starved by the other.
A form that asks for the date, the venue and the guest count
The three questions that decide whether there is a job, asked on the form before anyone gets a call back.
Result: You know from the form itself whether you are free and whether the event is your size.
A landing page per event type, carrying the right photographs
The page behind each advert shows work of that kind at that scale, not a mixed gallery with a mandap beside an exhibition stall.
Result: The click lands on an event that looks like the one they are planning.
Spend timed to the months people choose a planner
Budget raised while wedding families are shortlisting and while corporate teams are writing next year's brief, rather than in the month the event runs.
Result: You are in front of them while the shortlist is still open.
Negative keywords for everyone who is not booking
Blocks on event management course, anchor jobs, decorator hire, salary and the other searches that spend your money without producing a booking.
Result: The budget stops paying for students and job seekers.
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 an event company, and the ones to keep out.
- Wedding planner plus city, such as destination wedding planner in Udaipur
- Bid, with its own campaign. The family has a date and a budget. Lead with weddings you have done, and ask for the date, the guest count and the city before a phone number.
- Corporate event agency, such as annual day or product launch organiser
- Bid, as a separate campaign. The buyer is an HR or marketing head with a brief. Show corporate work, not wedding photographs, and ask for the date, venue and headcount.
- Birthday, sangeet and theme party planner searches
- Bid, in small amounts. These are lower in value but numerous. Keep them in their own ad group so they do not eat the budget meant for the weddings and corporates.
- Decor, DJ, tent, catering and photographer searches
- Block, unless you sell those parts alone. Wedding decorator, DJ for hire and tent house are vendor searches. Add them as negatives or give them a separate page.
- Jobs, courses, internship and event management degree searches
- Block. Event management course, internship, jobs and salary come from students and job seekers. Add them as negatives and review the terms as the campaign runs.
- Where the click lands, and what to count
- Land each click on a page for that event type with your past events and a form asking date, venue and guests. Count a form with a real date and a call longer than a minute, and log the quotes and the bookings.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Understand the total budget
We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.
- 2
Audit current platform performance
We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.
- 3
Build the cross-platform plan
Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.
- 4
Implement and monitor
Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.
- 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.
