What local SEO means

Local SEO is the work of making your business show up for searches that name your town or locality, such as a service plus an area name. GullySales sets up locality pages, local citations and map listings so nearby customers find you before a competitor across town.

For home service franchise networks

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

  • “Head office listing hides the territories”

    One listing at the registered address says nothing to a resident three kilometres from a franchisee's base. Each territory needs its own listing to appear for the people it serves.

  • “A service-area business has no shopfront to verify”

    The franchisee works from a van and a small office. The listing must be set up as a service-area business, with the correct localities, or the platform may refuse it. Check the platform's current rules.

  • “One poor territory drags the shared name”

    Reviews of the brand name are read together. A territory with late arrivals gathers one-star reviews that the next resident sees beside the brand, whichever franchisee they would have got.

  • “Phone numbers decide who gets the call”

    If a listing shows a franchisee's personal mobile and another shows the call centre, the resident reaches different people for the same brand. The map profile is where that split is most visible.

What we do

What we deliver for home service franchise networks.

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

  1. Listing per territory

    A separate profile for each franchisee area, with the brand name, a service-area list and the right category for the work.

    Result: Each territory appears for its own localities.

  2. One number rule

    A decision on whether listings show the brand number or the franchisee's line, applied the same way everywhere.

    Result: Every listing follows one rule.

  3. Photos of real technicians and vans

    Photographs of technicians in uniform, branded vehicles and tools, taken by each franchisee under a short brief.

    Result: The listing shows the people who will arrive.

  4. Review request after the job

    A message sent from the brand number once the technician marks a job complete, with the territory's review link.

    Result: Each completed job carries a review link to its own territory.

  5. Replies to complaints

    Written replies to reviews about lateness or damage, in the brand's voice, naming the steps taken.

    Result: A reader sees the complaint answered in public.

How the result is measured

  • Map pack ranking
  • Local search visibility
  • Enquiries by locality

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

How it works

How the local SEO 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 every listing

    We check the Google Business Profile and directory listings for every branch against what should actually be shown.

  2. 2

    Complete and correct

    Profiles are filled in fully and inconsistent details are corrected across every directory found.

  3. 3

    Build location pages

    Each branch gets a page written for its own area, not a copy of the head office page with the address changed.

  4. 4

    Set up review handling

    A simple process for requesting and responding to reviews is put in place with whoever is closest to the customer.

  5. 5

    Report and adjust

    Map actions and enquiries per branch are recorded, and the branches falling behind come first in the next round of work.

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.

Tell us what you need
Can two franchisees list the same pincode?
They can both serve it, but the listings should name their own localities. The territory rule on the franchise page decides who takes a booking that falls in the overlap.
Should the technician's phone be on the listing?
The brand number is the safer choice, because it can route the call to whichever franchisee is free. A direct line suits a territory with a settled single operator.
What if a franchisee leaves the network?
Remove or transfer the listing so the brand name does not stay attached to a number the brand no longer controls. Keep a record of who holds access to each profile.
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.
