Restaurant franchise brands · Digital marketing

Plan one digital effort for candidates and another for the outlets they will open.

Digital marketing for a restaurant franchise is the combined use of search, maps, social media, messaging and paid ads to reach two audiences. GullySales works on how to split the effort, which channel does which job and how results are read.

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 restaurant franchise brands

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

  • “Two audiences share one budget and one brand”

    Money spent to fill outlets and money spent to find franchisees come from different pockets and answer to different results. If both sit in one plan, the diner campaign wins by volume and the candidate work starves.

  • “Royalty funds a marketing pool and nobody can see what it did”

    Franchisees pay in and see national content. Without a plain statement of what the pool bought and which outlets gained, doubt grows. A simple report from each channel tied to outlets calms the question.

  • “Paid ads send the click to a page that cannot convert it”

    An ad for franchise enquiries that lands on the consumer home page loses the candidate in the menu. Each campaign needs its own landing page and its own form, so the click meets a page built for it.

  • “Delivery app visibility is treated as separate from digital marketing”

    Ratings, photos and listing details on the delivery apps shape how the brand looks to a hungry customer. These belong in the same plan as search and social, because they feed each other.

What we do

What we deliver for restaurant franchise brands.

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

  1. A plan split by audience

    Two clear sections, one for candidates and one for outlets, each with its own channels, owners and measures.

    Result: Spend and results are read separately for each audience.

  2. Landing pages per campaign

    A page for each campaign that matches the ad's promise and carries one enquiry route.

    Result: A click meets a page built for that visitor.

  3. A channel map

    A written role for search, maps, social, messaging and delivery apps, so each does the job it suits.

    Result: The team knows what each channel is for.

  4. A report for franchisees

    A plain account of what the marketing pool funded and what it drew to which outlets.

    Result: Owners can see where their contribution went.

  5. A baseline before any spend

    A record of current search appearance, listings, ratings and enquiries, taken before changes.

    Result: Later results are compared against your own starting point.

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.

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 digital marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

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.

How should we divide budget between candidates and diners?
That depends on whether you need more outlets or fuller ones. We look at your pipeline and your outlet footfall, then suggest a split you can revisit. The final choice is yours.
Do you run ads on delivery apps?
We advise on listings, photos and ratings, and on the advertising options each app offers. Check each platform's current rules and costs, since they change and sit with the platform.
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.
