Pet service businesses · Pay per click advertising

Advertise the boarding dates or grooming slots you actually have open.

PPC for a pet business works best aimed at a specific gap: empty boarding dates before a quiet weekend, or grooming slots on a slow weekday. It works better than a constant generic campaign. GullySales runs search and local ads timed to the gap and tracks enquiries to bookings.

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 pet service businesses

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

  • “Search ads for boarding spike hardest before festivals”

    An ad timed to run a month before Diwali reaches parents exactly when they start planning their pet's stay.

  • “Local radius targeting matters more than broad reach”

    A boarding centre only serves people willing to travel a certain distance, so a tight radius avoids wasted spend.

  • “Ads should link straight to a booking message, not a homepage”

    An ad for a grooming slot that opens WhatsApp directly converts faster than one landing on a general page.

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.

  1. Festival season search campaign

    A campaign timed ahead of Diwali aimed at parents already searching for boarding, built around your actual open dates.

    Result: The festival gap fills with enquiries reached while parents are still deciding.

  2. Radius-targeted local ads

    Ads limited to the distance parents will realistically travel for grooming or boarding, instead of a broad city-wide spend.

    Result: Ad spend reaches people who could actually book, not a wider crowd.

  3. Ads that open directly to a booking message

    An ad for a grooming slot or boarding date that opens a WhatsApp conversation directly, instead of landing on a general page.

    Result: An interested parent reaches you in one step, not a hunt for details.

  4. Campaign spend scoped to a specific gap

    A budget set against the actual calendar gap you are trying to fill, agreed with you before anything runs.

    Result: You know exactly what the spend is meant to achieve.

  5. Ad performance report

    Enquiries and bookings from ads reported against the baseline recorded before we started.

    Result: You see whether the spend is bringing in bookings you can point to.

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 from a pet parent planning care, and the ones from people wanting a puppy or a free tip.

Dog grooming near me and pet spa, plus the area
Bid, in a short radius. A pet parent wants a slot soon. Say the breeds and sizes you groom and whether you offer home pickup, and add a booking button.
Pet boarding and daycare near me, before festivals
Bid before the travel seasons. A family leaving town wants a safe place. Name the vaccination records you ask for, and send the click to a page showing the space and a visit request.
Dog training near me and puppy training class
Bid, as a separate campaign. The owner has a behaviour problem or a new puppy. Say the age and breed you teach, and land on a page that explains the first class.
Buy a puppy, dog for sale and pet shop
Block. Add puppy for sale, buy, adopt, breeder, price and kennel as negatives. These searchers want an animal, not a service.
Where the click lands
Send it to a page for the service with a short WhatsApp button that asks the pet's name, breed and age. Do not send it to a homepage listing every service.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a message or call that names the pet and a date, or a booked appointment. Log which service it was for and whether the pet came, so you see which searches bring regular visits.

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.

  • 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is advertising worth it for a small pet business?
For filling a specific gap in the calendar, yes, especially around a season when demand is already there.
How much should we spend?
Scoped with you against the actual gap you are trying to fill.
Should the advert show photos of animals?
Show photos you took and have the owner's consent for, and avoid stock pictures of animals that are not yours. A parent judges the place by the staff and the space, so show those. Check each image on your ad platform.
Should we ask for deposits to hold a boarding slot?
Many boarding centres do, since a held slot is a lost one if the family cancels. State the rule and refund terms plainly on the landing page, and tell the family in the first message so it is not a surprise at the door.
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.
