Scrap recycling companies · Digital marketing

Put the yard where factories, workshops and mills already look for a buyer.

Digital marketing for a scrap yard is the joined-up work of search, listings, ads, messaging and records that brings sellers and buyers to your gate. GullySales plans the channels around your metals, your area and the people you want to reach.

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 scrap recycling companies

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

  • “Channels depend on who you want”

    A workshop owner clearing offcuts starts at a map search. A mill purchase head starts from a colleague's name or a direct message. Spending on the same channel for both wastes effort on one of them.

  • “Paid ads suit some metals more than others”

    Copper and aluminium searches come from sellers who know their material has value. Searches for plain scrap are broader. Ads sized to the metal and the area avoid paying for clicks from outside your reach.

  • “Every channel needs the same answer at the end”

    A seller who finds you through an ad, a map or a forwarded message reaches the same phone. If that phone goes unanswered, no channel can make up for it.

What we do

What we deliver for scrap recycling companies.

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

  1. A channel plan by seller and buyer type

    Which channels reach which people, and what each should say.

    Result: A plan naming each channel and the audience it serves.

  2. Search ads for metals and areas

    Campaigns for the metals you want and the estates you serve, with a limit on the area.

    Result: Ads restricted to the areas where you can lift.

  3. Listings and marketplaces

    Google Business Profile, JustDial and IndiaMART set up and kept consistent.

    Result: Listings that match your website and phone.

  4. Call and message handling

    A number, a saved reply and a person for every enquiry channel.

    Result: A route for each channel that ends at someone who answers.

  5. Source-to-lift tracking

    Each lift tied back to the channel that produced the seller.

    Result: A table showing lifts by channel.

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

How the digital marketing 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

    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.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. 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.

What budget should a scrap yard spend?
We do not name a figure without seeing your costs. Start small on the metals you most want, watch which calls become lifts and then decide.
Is IndiaMART worth it?
It is one channel among several. Some sellers and small buyers use it. We track what it brings against its cost and compare it with search and outreach.
Can digital marketing replace our field visits?
No. Plant visits and calls to stores heads remain strong. Digital work makes sure that when a plant looks you up, your yard appears organised and reachable.
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.
