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 B2B SaaS startups

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

  • “Clicks are not the same as demos”

    A channel that produces cheap visits and no demo requests is costing money. The plan has to be measured from first touch to booked demo to paid account, or the cheapest channel will look best.

  • “Paid ads before the message is proven burn budget”

    Putting spend behind a headline nobody has tested teaches the team little. Organic posts and outbound replies show which phrase gets a response, and that phrase belongs in the ad.

  • “Retargeting a small audience needs a clear offer”

    A buyer who visited the pricing page once is worth a useful follow-up, such as a comparison guide or a walk-through. A banner that repeats the logo for weeks is noise.

  • “Attribution is messy in long B2B cycles”

    A buyer may read a post, search your name, attend a webinar and then book a demo. Asking 'how did you hear about us?' in the demo form, and recording the answer, is more honest than a tool's guess.

What we do

What we deliver for B2B SaaS startups.

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

  1. Channel plan for the next stage

    A short list of channels chosen by who your buyer is and where they look, each with a single purpose.

    Result: The team can say what each channel is meant to produce.

  2. Tracking from visit to paid account

    Analytics, UTM tags and CRM fields that follow a lead from first visit to deal.

    Result: You can see demo requests and paid accounts by source.

  3. Demo request form and thank-you page

    A short form with a field for 'how did you hear about us' and a thank-you page that sets out what happens next.

    Result: Every demo request is recorded with its source in the CRM.

  4. Paid test brief

    If paid ads are used, a written brief with the audience, offer, budget ceiling and the demo target to judge them against.

    Result: A paid test has an end point and a decision, not an open-ended spend.

  5. Channel review

    A recurring look at each channel against demos and paid accounts, with a note on what to continue, change or stop.

    Result: Spend moves from channels that did not work to the ones that did.

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.

Searches your buyers type

Each channel should map to a search or a moment where a buyer can ask for a demo.

Software for tracking a problem you solve
A problem page with a demo form. It is the base of any paid or organic effort.
Product alternative or comparison
Late-stage searches from buyers already evaluating. A comparison page with a demo button answers them.
Product name
The brand search a buyer makes after hearing of you. The page should show pricing and a demo route.
Request a demo
A short form and a thank-you page that tells the buyer what happens next. Track it to a paid account.
Retarget a visitor who saw pricing
A small audience that needs one clear offer. Without enough visitors, skip it.

Who it is for

This is written for these B2B SaaS startups.

  • Early-stage SaaS selling to Indian SMEs and mid-market firms
  • Vertical SaaS for one trade, such as clinics, schools, dealers or builders
  • Developer tools and APIs sold to engineering teams
  • HR, payroll and compliance software for growing companies
  • Finance and accounting tools sold through CA firms
  • Indian-built SaaS selling to buyers in the US, UK or Middle East
  • Spin-offs from services firms that turned an internal tool into a product
  • Bootstrapped founders who have not raised and cannot hire a sales team yet

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The message is untested because no buyer outside the founder's contacts has replied, so paid spend would test the message at a cost.
  • Visits are not tracked to a paid account, so a channel plan could not tell which channel worked.
  • You want every channel at once with one person to run them.

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

    Agree the one aim

    We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.

  2. 2

    Check what is ready

    We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.

  3. 3

    Write the idea and the message sheet

    We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.

  4. 4

    Brief every channel from the same sheet

    Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.

  5. 5

    Run on the shared calendar

    Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.

  6. 6

    Measure as one campaign

    Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.

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.

Tell us what you need
What budget do we need?
There is no fixed amount. It depends on your price, your sales cycle and how much the founder can do alone. We start with the free and low-cost channels and add paid spend only when a message has proven itself.
Should we run Google Ads?
Search ads suit problems people actively search for and a price that justifies the click cost. We check the phrases and the likely competition before you spend, and we check the platform's current rules and costs.
How do we know if it is working?
Count demo requests from strangers, trials that turn into paid accounts, and the source of each. If those numbers do not move across a few review rounds, we change the channel or the message and write down why.
Should we run Google Ads?
Run it once a page converts organic visitors into demo requests, and the message has been tested by outbound. Paid search then buys more of what already works. Start with a few problem and comparison terms, and block searches from people seeking jobs or free tools.
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.
