CCTV and security system installers · Pay per click advertising

Pay for the survey enquiry, not for a man pricing a camera box.

Paid advertising for a CCTV installer buys the searches made in the days after an incident, when a shop owner or a society secretary wants somebody to come and look. GullySales runs those campaigns on a call and WhatsApp route, and keeps the budget away from people shopping for a kit.

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 CCTV and security system installers

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

  • “Half the clicks are buying a kit, not an installer”

    Camera price, DVR price and hard disk price are e-commerce searches. Leave those words in and most of the money goes to people who will never book a survey.

  • “Demand rises one pin code at a time”

    A run of break-ins in one market or one layout lifts searches there for a fortnight. A budget spread evenly across the city misses it and pays city prices everywhere.

  • “The enquiry wants a rate on WhatsApp within the hour”

    Sending a paid click to a contact form loses it. A call button and a WhatsApp click, both answered while your office is open, is what this trade needs.

What we do

What we deliver for CCTV and security system installers.

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

  1. Call and WhatsApp campaigns rather than form campaigns

    Click to call and click to WhatsApp set as the action on every ad, with a named person answering during the hours the ads run.

    Result: A paid enquiry gets a human reply the same hour.

  2. A negative list written around camera searches

    Camera price, DVR price, dealership, CCTV course, operator job, how to install and the e-commerce sites, loaded before anything runs and reviewed afterwards.

    Result: The budget stops going to shoppers and job seekers.

  3. Budget moved to the areas where something has happened

    Spend shifted into the pin codes around a reported incident while the searches are high, and pulled back when they settle.

    Result: The money is spent where people are already looking.

  4. Separate campaigns for home, shop, society and factory

    Four sets of keywords and four landing pages, because the camera count, the decision maker and the quote are different in each.

    Result: The ad matches what the buyer typed.

  5. Landing pages that offer a survey

    A page showing a coverage sketch, what the survey covers and how long it takes, instead of a brochure about camera features.

    Result: The click turns into a site visit booking.

  6. Cost per survey and per order reported

    Every call and message tracked to a survey, a quote and an order, priced by campaign against the baseline recorded before work starts.

    Result: You can say 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 security installer, and the ones to keep out.

Installation by site, such as CCTV for shop, apartment or factory
Bid by site type. A shop owner, a society committee and a plant manager need different cameras, cabling and maintenance, so each gets its own campaign and page.
Brand and system searches, such as Hikvision or CP Plus dealer
Bid only on brands you are authorised to sell, and write dealer or installer. Do not suggest you are the maker, and check the platform's current rules on brand names.
CCTV repair, DVR not working and AMC searches
Bid in a campaign of its own. A person with a failed recorder is a customer for repair and for an AMC, and often becomes the next installation job.
Kit, buy online, wholesale, course and technician job searches
Block. Add kit, buy online, Amazon, wholesale, distributor, course, training and vacancy as negatives. These searchers want a box, a trade price or a job, not a survey.
Where the click lands
Send the click to a page that offers a site survey, with the site type, the city and a call and WhatsApp button. Put the survey first and the packages after it.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a call or message that books a site survey. Then mark quote sent, order placed and AMC signed in the survey register, and read each campaign against orders.

Who it is for

This is written for these CCTV and security system installers.

  • CCTV installers serving homes and shops
  • Security system integrators for businesses and factories
  • Apartment and gated community security installers
  • Access control and biometric attendance providers
  • Intrusion alarm and video door phone installers
  • Authorised dealers and distributors of camera brands
  • IT and networking firms adding surveillance
  • AMC and service-focused security companies

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Nobody can return a call or WhatsApp message the same day, so paid clicks would turn into missed enquiries
  • Your quote is still unclear about what it includes, so ads would bring price comparisons with a camera kit

How it works

How the pay per click advertising 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 whole budget

    We fix the total paid budget across platforms, who owns each ad account, and how much is open to moving.

  2. 2

    Audit tracking and accounts

    We check that conversions fire once, that calls and WhatsApp chats are counted, and that your enquiry sheet matches what the platforms say.

  3. 3

    Set one definition of success

    You and we agree what a qualified enquiry is and what an order is, so every platform is judged the same way.

  4. 4

    Build and launch the plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with shared naming and tags from day one.

  5. 5

    Read search terms and lead quality

    We review the queries that triggered ads and the enquiries that arrived, and remove waste before moving money.

  6. 6

    Reallocate and report

    Budget moves toward what is earning, within agreed limits. Results are reported against the baseline, at the frequency agreed in writing.

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.

Is Google Ads worth it when JustDial already sends us leads?
It reaches a different buyer. A directory lead is passed to three or four installers at once and the call opens on price. A search click comes to you alone, which is why it is worth paying more for.
What do we do with callers who only want a rate?
Answer with a range and one question back: how many cameras and how many floors. That takes ten seconds and separates a buyer from someone comparing with an online kit. Keep the reply written down so every staff member sends the same one.
Should adverts run when nobody can answer the phone?
Switch the call button off outside the hours someone answers, and show a WhatsApp button that replies with the survey details you need. Many calls come after an incident in the evening. A missed call is often a customer who rings the next installer.
Should an installer bid on its own name?
Yes, in a small campaign. Customers told about you by an electrician or a neighbour often search your name, and a rival can appear first. Keep it cheap and separate from the site-type searches.
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.
