Signage companies · Pay per click advertising
Pay for the click that ends in a measurement, not a rate on chat.
A click from somebody collecting three rates costs the same as one from somebody ready to book a site visit. GullySales builds the keyword and negative lists around your installation radius, writes ads that ask for a measurement, and tracks calls through to confirmed orders.
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 signage companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The ad has to ask for the measurement”
An ad offering a quote gets a rate enquiry by message. An ad offering to come and measure the shopfront gets an address and a time.
“Negatives decide this account”
Signage software, sign language, signboard vacancies, design-only enquiries and school project queries all spend the same money as a real job would.
“The radius is an installation radius”
A board sixty kilometres out means a crew, a vehicle and a lost day. The ad area should match how far you will actually travel to fix one.
“The season is somebody else's opening date”
Shop fit-outs cluster before the festivals and before the financial year closes. Budget should rise in those weeks and fall away after them.
What we do
What we deliver for signage companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A keyword list split by sign type
Separate groups for ACP board, acrylic letters, glow sign, neon and hoarding, each with its own ad text and its own landing page.
Result: The enquiry tells you what it is for before you pick up.
A long negative keyword list
Software, sign language, jobs, free design, school projects and material-only enquiries excluded, and added to from the search report.
Result: Your budget stops paying for a different trade entirely.
Call ads inside your installation radius
Ads running in working hours across the distance your crew will travel, pointing at a phone number rather than at a contact form.
Result: The enquiry reaches whoever can book a slot.
A landing page per sign type
A short page with installed photographs of that sign type, what changes the rate, and a button that books a site measurement.
Result: The click has proof sitting in front of it.
Call recordings listened to
The first month's calls listened to, with a note of what was asked and how it was handled, so the ad text and the script both improve.
Result: You hear why an enquiry did not become a visit.
A cost per site visit and per confirmed board
Spend set against measurements booked and boards confirmed rather than against clicks, and read against the enquiry numbers from before the work.
Result: You know what an order from search costs you.
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 worth paying for as a signage company, and the ones to keep out.
- Sign type plus town, such as LED glow sign board in Surat
- Bid. A shop owner who names the sign and the town is ready for a measurement. Keep ACP boards, glow signs and neon in separate ad groups with their own installed photographs.
- New shop searches, such as shop name board for a new showroom
- Bid in a separate campaign aimed at owners fitting out a shop. They are working to an opening date and will approve a design and a quote when the frontage is ready.
- Hoarding and unipole searches
- Bid only if you hold or build outdoor sites. Brands buying hoardings are comparing sites and permissions, so the page should list locations or what you can arrange, not show shop boards.
- Material and rate searches, such as acrylic sheet price or flex printing rates
- Block unless you sell the material. Add free design, sign language and software words too. These searchers want a rate list, not a fitted board.
- Where the click lands
- Send the click to the page for that sign type. The form should ask the shop width, the floor and a photograph of the frontage, so you can give a figure range before a measuring visit.
- Counting a real enquiry
- Count a call that fixes a site measurement, or a WhatsApp that includes a photo of the frontage. A message that asks only for a rate per square foot is a price check, not an enquiry.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
How the pay per click advertising work runs
- 1
Understand the total budget
We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.
- 2
Audit current platform performance
We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.
- 3
Build the cross-platform plan
Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.
- 4
Implement and monitor
Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.
- 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
