Borewell and drilling contractors · Social media

Post the rig at work, so a farmer or a society sees a crew that turns up.

Social media marketing for a borewell contractor is the use of Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp status to show real jobs to owners, farmers and societies who may need a bore. GullySales plans what to photograph on site, writes the captions in the local language and keeps the posts honest about what drilling can and cannot do.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For borewell and drilling contractors

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

“The crew is the best content and nobody films it”
The rig rising on a plot, the casing laid out in a line and the pump set going down are what a buyer wants to see. They happen every day, and the phone stays in the truck cabin.
“Water claims get screenshotted”
A post with a gushing pipe and a caption about water guaranteed is shown later to the contractor by the owner whose bore was dry. A post that shows the work and states the terms cannot be turned against you.
“Followers are not the buyers”
A page with thousands of likes from other towns brings no calls. The audience that matters is the few villages, layouts and societies the rig can reach, and the posts should be aimed there.
“Farmers watch video, societies read posts”
A farmer is likelier to watch a short clip in the home language on YouTube or a status update. A secretary of a society reads a written post and forwards it to the committee group.

What we do

What we deliver for borewell and drilling contractors.

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

Shot list for the crew
A short list of pictures to take on every site: the point marked, the rig set up, the casing, the flushing and the pump fitted, with a rule on asking the owner first.
Result: The foreman knows what to photograph and the office gets it by evening.
Posts about the work, not the water
Captions that say what was done, in which area and with which rig, and that never imply that water will be found.
Result: Nothing posted can be quoted back as a promise.
Short clips in the local language
Clips of a few lines each on how a visit works, what flushing is and why a bore dries, spoken by the owner in the language the village uses.
Result: A farmer hears the answer from a person who speaks like them.
Posting plan for the dry season and the rains
A plan matching the posts to the calendar: drilling and pump messages before summer, recharge pits before the monsoon.
Result: The page has something useful to say in each part of the year.
Comments and messages routine
A rule for who replies to comments and direct messages, with each real enquiry moved to the WhatsApp business number and the register.
Result: An enquiry on a post is not lost in a notification list.
Social enquiry record
Calls, messages and signed jobs traced to social posts, listed against the baseline noted before work begins.
Result: The owner sees whether the page brings jobs or only likes.

Posts and pieces to plan

Posts that show a crew that turns up and a job done as agreed.

The rig setting up at a site: A short video of the rig arriving and being levelled, with the village named if the owner agrees. Farmers watch video more than they read.
Casing and flushing explained at the rig: The foreman explains the step on camera in the local language. It shows method, not a promise about water.
The job sheet signed at the site: A photograph of the sheet with the name and amount covered. It shows the terms are agreed on paper.
A pump set fitted after the bore: A photo of the pump and the starter panel installed, with the owner's consent. It shows the work after the drilling.
A recharge pit dug for a society: A before and after of the pit, with the secretary's permission. It speaks to the committee reader.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You plan to claim a water result in a post, which gets screenshotted and held against you.
The owner has not agreed to a photograph of the plot, and the post would show it anyway.

How it works

How the social media 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
Confirm audience, platforms and access
We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.
2
Review the current presence
We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.
3
Build the calendar
Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.
4
Create, approve and publish
Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.
5
Record enquiries and adjust
Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

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.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need

Which platform matters most for a borewell contractor?

The one your customers already use. For farmers that is YouTube and WhatsApp, for households Instagram and Facebook. Start with one, post only photographs and clips of real jobs, and add another when the first is kept up.

Can we post photographs of a customer's plot?

Ask the owner first and leave out house numbers, faces and anything that identifies the plot if the owner prefers. A photograph of the rig and the casing says enough. Keep the owner's permission in the job record.

Should we boost posts with paid reach?

Only after the page has real work on it, and only to the districts the rig covers. Set a budget in writing, count the calls that come, and stop if the spend does not lead to site visits.

Is it fine to name the village in a video?

Ask the owner first, and name the village only if they agree. A plot and a farmer can be recognised from a clip, and a dry result there would follow them. Keep the post to the work, not the outcome.

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 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.
