Event management companies · Local SEO

Show up on Maps for the city you sell from, not the venue's town.

Local SEO puts your company in the Maps results an HR manager or a couple sees when they search for an event planner near them. GullySales sets the right profile category, keeps recent event photographs on the listing, and turns on messaging for enquiries that arrive at night.

What local SEO means

Local SEO is the work of making your business show up for searches that name your town or locality, such as a service plus an area name. GullySales sets up locality pages, local citations and map listings so nearby customers find you before a competitor across town.

For event management companies

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

  • “The category decides what you appear for”

    A profile filed as wedding planner will not show for event management company, and most pick one.

  • “Your buyer searches from home, not the venue”

    A Bengaluru couple booking a Coorg resort still searches in Bengaluru. That is the city to rank in.

  • “The listing photographs are the shortlist”

    Recent event pictures on the profile are what someone compares before tapping the number.

What we do

What we deliver for event management companies.

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

  1. The Business Profile category set to everything you sell

    Event management company as the primary category with wedding planner and party planner beside it, instead of the single label most companies settle for.

    Result: You appear for both searches rather than one of them.

  2. The listing pinned to the city you sell from

    A service area covering the destinations you travel to, with the studio address shown only if clients actually come in to plan.

    Result: The Bengaluru couple booking a resort in Coorg finds you at home.

  3. Recent event photographs added to the listing every month

    A routine for uploading pictures from last month's events, with the venue named in the caption, so the profile is never a year behind the work.

    Result: Whoever compares three listings sees the newest work on yours.

  4. Profile messaging turned on and actually answered

    Messages and calls from the listing routed to a phone somebody checks in the evening, and logged with the rest of your enquiries.

    Result: The night-time enquiry from Maps does not wait for Monday.

  5. The same name, number and address wherever you are listed

    JustDial, the wedding listing sites and the vendor lists venues keep, all checked so a venue manager verifying you finds one set of details.

    Result: A venue manager checking three listings sees the same firm each time.

How the result is measured

  • Map pack ranking
  • Local search visibility
  • Enquiries by locality

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

What Google weighs here

How a family or a company finds an event planner on the map, and what to fix first.

Planner category by income
Choose between event planner, wedding planner and event management company by the work that brings most of your income. A mismatch brings birthday calls to a corporate firm and the other way round.
Services by event type
List wedding, sangeet, mehendi, corporate offsite, exhibition stall and birthday as separate services. Each one is a phrase someone types, and the map matches those words.
Wedding portals
WedMeGood and WeddingWire India profiles are checked next to the map. Keep the business name, city and number the same as the Business Profile, and read each portal's current rules before adding anything.
Photographs labelled by event
Add an album per event type, and name the venue and the city in the caption. A bride deciding between two planners looks at the work done at venues the bride already knows.
Trade name against company name
Use the name on your signboard and invoices. If the legal name is Events Private Limited but everyone says the short name, put the legal name in the description and keep the short name as the profile name.

Who it is for

This is written for these event management companies.

  • Wedding planning companies
  • Corporate and MICE event agencies
  • Exhibition and trade show organisers
  • Birthday and private party planners
  • Destination wedding specialists
  • Government and institutional event contractors

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You work from a private home office and do not want the address public, so a Maps profile would expose it.
  • You have no base in the city you want to appear in, so a listing there would misstate where you work.
  • You have no client photographs cleared for use, so a profile would show an empty gallery.

How it works

How the local SEO 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

    Write down what is true

    Each branch's real address, signboard name, phone, hours and owning Google account go into one record you sign off. Every later listing is copied from it.

  2. 2

    Search as your buyer does

    We search each branch on a phone from points around it, in your buyers' words, and note who appears with what reviews and photos.

  3. 3

    Fix the profile first

    Ownership first, then name, address, pin, phone, hours and business type. Google can suspend a profile with extra words in its name or an address that is not a real premises.

  4. 4

    Build the branch pages and match the listings

    Each real branch gets its own page, and the other listings are changed to agree with it. We write none for towns without a branch, because Google treats near-identical pages as doorway pages.

  5. 5

    Ask, reply and measure

    We agree with each branch who asks for reviews, when and how. Results are set against the baseline recorded before work began, and the branch that is behind gets the next round.

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
Our office is a studio with no visitors, do we show the address?
Show it if clients come in to plan. Otherwise set a service area and keep the number visible.
Can we rank in a city where we only do destination weddings?
Rarely, without an address there. The realistic search is where your clients live.
Which category suits a company that does weddings and corporate events?
Choose the category that matches the work earning most, and add the other as secondary. A wedding-led firm picks wedding planner first. If the wrong kind of call keeps arriving, swap them.
Do we need the client's permission to post wedding photographs?
Ask in writing before posting photographs that show guests or the family, and keep to shots of decor, stages and venues where you can. A client who agreed to photographs in the contract is easier to keep happy than one found tagged without warning.
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.
