Theatre and performing arts companies · Search engine optimisation

Be the company a stranger finds when they search a play, a city and a language.

SEO for a theatre company is the work that makes your plays, workshops and the company itself findable when someone searches for a show in their city or a performance for their school or office. GullySales works on the site's pages, the show listings and the technical basics.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For theatre and performing arts companies

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

  • “People search the language and the city”

    A person looking for a Kannada play in Bengaluru, or a Hindi play for a Sunday, types exactly that. A company whose site names its language, city and venue on each show page gives search something to match.

  • “The ticket platform gets the traffic”

    When a booking app lists the show, the company's own page is outranked unless it has its own details, such as the synopsis, the cast and the running time. The company needs a page that gives more than the app.

  • “A show page that disappears after the run is wasted”

    The page earns its place over the weeks of a run. If it is deleted when the run ends, the company loses the name, the photographs and the reviews that were attached to it.

  • “Workshops are searched on their own”

    A school searching for a drama workshop looks for age group, duration and city. A company with a general 'what we do' page never appears for that search.

What we do

What we deliver for theatre and performing arts companies.

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

  1. A page for each production

    Synopsis, language, running time, age advice, cast and crew, venue and ticket link, in readable text.

    Result: Each play has a page a stranger can understand.

  2. An archive for past productions

    A plan for keeping old show pages as a record of the company's work.

    Result: The site grows into a body of work and not a list of dates.

  3. Workshop and corporate show pages

    Pages for each service, written with the words a school or office uses when it searches.

    Result: The company appears for the service by name.

  4. Page titles and descriptions

    Titles that carry the play, the company, the city and the language.

    Result: A search result tells the reader what and where.

  5. Photographs and video described in text

    Captions and descriptions on the images and clips of each production.

    Result: The media on the site can be found and understood.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the search engine optimisation 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

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

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.

  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.

Tell us what you need
Will SEO fill our shows?
No promise of ranking or sales can be made. SEO makes your own pages findable for the plays, workshops and city searches that apply to you, so interested people have a direct route to the company.
Do we need a blog?
Not as a first step. Production pages, a workshop page and an about page give search more to work with. Writing about the company's process can follow once the core pages are in place.
Our shows sell on a booking app. Is our own site still needed?
Yes. The app sells the ticket; the company's site holds the story, the institutional offers and the contact for schools and sponsors that the app does not carry.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
