Nursery businesses · Search engine optimisation
Let people searching for a plant by name find the nursery that grows it.
SEO for a nursery is the work of making your website answer the searches people type for plants, saplings and garden supplies in your area. GullySales works on the plant pages, the page titles and the questions a buyer asks before they visit.
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 nursery businesses
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“People search for the plant, not for the nursery”
A buyer types curry leaf plant, areca sapling or hibiscus for balcony. A nursery with a single page titled Our plants never appears for those words, though it grows each one.
“Plant names differ by region and by speaker”
A plant has an English name, a botanical name and a local-language name, and the buyer uses whichever they grew up with. A page that carries all three is found by all three kinds of searcher.
“A photograph on the bench is not the same as a page”
Stock that changes every week cannot all have a page. The plants that sell every year, such as fruit saplings and shade trees, deserve a durable page with size, pot and care notes.
“Seasonal searches come before the rains”
Buyers start looking for saplings before the first rain, not during it. A planting guide published after the rush begins is read next year, so it should be ready ahead of the season.
What we do
What we deliver for nursery businesses.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A plant page plan
A list of the plants that sell steadily, each given its own page with names, sizes, pot options and a short care note.
Result: A set of plant pages the nursery owns, each aimed at one search.
Regional name coverage
Plant pages that carry the English, botanical and local names a buyer might type.
Result: A buyer searching in any of the three names reaches the same page.
Page titles and descriptions
Written titles and short descriptions for the home page, plant pages and supplies pages.
Result: Each page tells a search result what it offers and where the nursery is.
A planting guide for each season
Guides on what to plant in the rains, in the cool months and in summer for your area, written in plain words.
Result: Guides ready before the buying season, linked to the plant pages.
A search check against competitors
A look at which plant searches rival nurseries appear for and which your site misses.
Result: A written list of gaps the nursery can work through plant by plant.

How it works
How the search engine optimisation 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
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
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
Fix the foundations
Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.
- 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
Publish and earn mentions
Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
