Pet service businesses · Digital marketing
Let a nine o'clock Instagram message reach the same booking diary as a phone call.
Digital marketing for a pet business means local search, the Google Business Profile, Instagram and WhatsApp all pointing at the same booking diary. A pet parent who messages on Instagram at nine at night should get the same quick reply as one who phones. GullySales manages all of it and reports which channel brought which booking.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For pet service businesses
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Instagram builds trust before Maps gets the call”
A parent often follows a groomer's page for weeks before ever calling, so consistent posting matters ahead of the booking.
“WhatsApp is where booking actually happens”
Most confirmed grooming and boarding bookings finish on WhatsApp, even when the parent first found you through search.
“Festival season needs a coordinated push across channels”
Boarding enquiries before Diwali spike on Maps, Instagram and referrals together, and all three need to be ready at once.
What we do
What we deliver for pet service businesses.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
One reply routine behind all three channels
Enquiries from any of the three channels routed to the same fast reply, so none is checked less often than another.
Result: No booking enquiry waits longer just because of where it arrived.
Enquiry tracking by channel
A simple record of whether each booking started on Maps, Instagram or a referral, reviewed with you regularly.
Result: You know which channel actually brings bookings, not just attention.
Festival season push across all three channels
A coordinated campaign on Maps, Instagram and WhatsApp timed to the pre-Diwali and summer holiday booking spike.
Result: The festival rush is met with readiness instead of catching staff short.
Instagram posting plan aimed at future bookings
A steady posting rhythm built around real grooming and boarding activity, aimed at parents who follow before they call.
Result: A parent already trusts you by the time they are ready to book.
Channel performance report
A view of enquiries and bookings by channel, checked against the baseline recorded before we started.
Result: You see which channel is worth more attention next.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Where to start in pet care
Start with the profile and the WhatsApp reply a pet parent reads before booking.
- Business Profile for each service
- List grooming, boarding and training as separate services, with your address, hours and photographs of the space. State the vaccination proof you need for boarding. Record calls from the profile.
- WhatsApp booking reply
- Set a reply that asks for the pet's breed, age, vaccination status and the date wanted. Label each chat as asked, slot offered or booked, and note where people stop answering.
- Customer record
- Write the pet's name, breed, birthday and the date of the last grooming or stay beside each owner. Use it to remind owners when a session is due.
- Photographs with consent
- Take photographs of pets only with the owner's consent, and show the space, the staff and the routine. Use them on the profile and WhatsApp. Note which ones owners mention.
- Reviews after a stay
- Ask for an honest review when the pet goes home, and reply to a complaint openly. Do not give a discount for a review. Record which reviews mention a service you wish to sell more.
- What to leave until later
- Do not start with festival offers, paid ads across the city or a store of pet products. Fix the profile, the reply and the customer record, then add Instagram once bookings come regularly.

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.

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.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
