Scrap recycling companies · Local SEO
Appear on the map when a workshop owner searches for scrap buyers nearby.
Local SEO for a scrap yard means being the result that appears on the map and in the local pack when someone near an industrial area searches for a scrap dealer. GullySales works on your Google Business Profile, JustDial listing and the local pages that say which metals you take.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What local SEO means
Local SEO is the work of making your business show up for searches that name your town or locality, such as a service plus an area name. GullySales sets up locality pages, local citations and map listings so nearby customers find you before a competitor across town.

For scrap recycling companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A map pin with one photograph loses the call”
A garage owner clearing old radiators looks at the map, sees three yards and calls the one that shows the metals, the yard and a phone that connects. A bare pin gives no reason to choose it.
“The same yard appears under different names”
One listing says Sri Metals, another Sri Metal Traders, a third has an old address. Search engines and sellers both lose trust when details do not match across Google, JustDial and your site.
“Reviews from sellers are different from reviews of shops”
A good review for a yard speaks of honest weight, on-time payment and a truck that arrived. Asking sellers for a review is a conversation to have at the weighbridge, not by blast message.
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.
Google Business Profile set right
Correct categories, every metal listed, real photographs of the yard and weighbridge, hours and a WhatsApp number that someone answers.
Result: A profile listing every metal you take, with photographs of the yard.
JustDial and directory clean-up
One name, address and phone written the same way across the listings sellers use.
Result: A list of listings checked and made consistent.
Pages for each area you cover
Local pages naming the estates and towns where you lift, with the metals and pickup arrangement for each.
Result: A page for each area, linked from the profile.
A review request routine
A simple way for your weighbridge or accounts staff to ask a satisfied seller for a review after a clean lift.
Result: Review requests tied to lifts that went well.
Call and direction tracking
A count of calls, messages and direction requests that reach the yard from the profile.
Result: A record of which profile actions reached the yard.
How the result is measured
- Map pack ranking
- Local search visibility
- Enquiries by locality
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
How the local SEO 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 every listing
We check the Google Business Profile and directory listings for every branch against what should actually be shown.
- 2
Complete and correct
Profiles are filled in fully and inconsistent details are corrected across every directory found.
- 3
Build location pages
Each branch gets a page written for its own area, not a copy of the head office page with the address changed.
- 4
Set up review handling
A simple process for requesting and responding to reviews is put in place with whoever is closest to the customer.
- 5
Report and adjust
Map actions and enquiries per branch are recorded, and the branches falling behind come first in the next round of work.
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.
