VFX studios · Search engine optimisation

Appear when a supervisor searches for a studio that handles their kind of shot.

SEO for a VFX studio is the work of making the site answer the searches a supervisor, producer or agency makes when looking for a studio for one shot type. GullySales works on the pages, the reel descriptions and the credits those searches land on.

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 VFX studios

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

  • “Supervisors search by shot, not by studio name”

    Someone with wire removal, set extension or a product CGI shot types that need into the search box, not a studio's name. A site with one services page and a single showreel has nothing to match those words. Each shot type needs its own page and its own reel.

  • “A reel with no words around it says nothing to search”

    A showreel embedded on a page, with no text beside it, tells a search engine very little. The project, the shot types, the software and the studio's role in the sequence have to be written next to the video, because that text is what gets matched to a query.

  • “Credits are the proof a searcher looks for”

    A supervisor checks that a studio is real by looking for projects they know. A credits page that lists title, year, role and shot type gives the reader and the search engine something to confirm. A line saying 'trusted by leading productions' confirms nothing.

  • “Overseas buyers use a different vocabulary”

    A foreign production services firm types phrases such as compositing vendor, roto and paint outsourcing or VFX outsourcing India, and cares about security and pipeline. Wording written for an Indian supervisor may not match. A separate page in the overseas buyer's own terms catches that search.

What we do

What we deliver for VFX studios.

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

  1. Shot-type page plan

    One page for each service the studio sells, such as cleanup, compositing, environments or product CGI, written with the words a buyer uses for it.

    Result: Every service has its own page and a named reel.

  2. Reel pages with written descriptions

    Each cleared reel is given text beside it that names the project, the shot type, the studio's role and the tools used.

    Result: The words beside any reel name the project and the shot type.

  3. Credits page

    A structured list of projects with year, role and shot types handled, limited to what the client has cleared.

    Result: Each credit shows title, year, role and shot type.

  4. Overseas vendor page

    A page for foreign producers and services firms covering security practice, pipeline, team and working hours.

    Result: One page speaks in the vocabulary a foreign buyer searches.

  5. Titles, headings and image descriptions

    Page titles, headings and picture descriptions rewritten so each page says plainly what it is.

    Result: No two pages share a title.

  6. Search query review

    The searches that bring visitors, read from Google Search Console and set beside the pages you wanted to be found for.

    Result: You can see which shot-type pages draw searches.

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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Does ranking matter when work comes by referral?
Referral brings the first introduction, and search is where the supervisor then checks the studio. If the site is thin or cannot be found, the introduction stalls. SEO makes the page they land on support the recommendation. Rankings are never promised.
Can we publish shots under NDA so they appear in search?
No. Publish only what the client has cleared. Describe restricted projects in general terms without naming the production, or leave them off and offer a private viewing on request.
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.
