Event management companies · Pay per click advertising

Spend in the months families and HR teams are choosing, not the event month.

Pay per click advertising puts your company in front of someone planning an event before they ask a venue for a name. GullySales runs the search campaigns, asks for the date and guest count in the form, and checks spend against the enquiries worth having.

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 event management companies

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

  • “Ask for the date first”

    A click for a date you are already booked costs the same as one you can take.

  • “The buying window is months early”

    Wedding budgets are set long before the date, and corporate briefs go out before the year closes.

  • “Wedding and corporate cannot share a campaign”

    A conference brief and a bride's family need different words and different pages.

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. Separate campaigns for wedding and corporate work

    Two campaigns with their own budgets, wording and landing pages, so a dealer meet keyword never competes with a wedding planner one.

    Result: Neither side of the business is starved by the other.

  2. A form that asks for the date, the venue and the guest count

    The three questions that decide whether there is a job, asked on the form before anyone gets a call back.

    Result: You know from the form itself whether you are free and whether the event is your size.

  3. A landing page per event type, carrying the right photographs

    The page behind each advert shows work of that kind at that scale, not a mixed gallery with a mandap beside an exhibition stall.

    Result: The click lands on an event that looks like the one they are planning.

  4. Spend timed to the months people choose a planner

    Budget raised while wedding families are shortlisting and while corporate teams are writing next year's brief, rather than in the month the event runs.

    Result: You are in front of them while the shortlist is still open.

  5. Negative keywords for everyone who is not booking

    Blocks on event management course, anchor jobs, decorator hire, salary and the other searches that spend your money without producing a booking.

    Result: The budget stops paying for students and job seekers.

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 at an event company, and the ones to keep out.

Wedding planner plus city, such as destination wedding planner in Udaipur
Bid, with its own campaign. The family has a date and a budget. Lead with weddings you have done, and ask for the date, the guest count and the city before a phone number.
Corporate event agency, such as annual day or product launch organiser
Bid, as a separate campaign. The buyer is an HR or marketing head with a brief. Show corporate work, not wedding photographs, and ask for the date, venue and headcount.
Birthday, sangeet and theme party planner searches
Bid, in small amounts. These are lower in value but numerous. Keep them in their own ad group so they do not eat the budget meant for the weddings and corporates.
Decor, DJ, tent, catering and photographer searches
Block, unless you sell those parts alone. Wedding decorator, DJ for hire and tent house are vendor searches. Add them as negatives or give them a separate page.
Jobs, courses, internship and event management degree searches
Block. Event management course, internship, jobs and salary come from students and job seekers. Add them as negatives and review the terms as the campaign runs.
Where the click lands, and what to count
Land each click on a page for that event type with your past events and a form asking date, venue and guests. Count a form with a real date and a call longer than a minute, and log the quotes and the bookings.

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 cannot check a date against your calendar when the enquiry arrives, so paid clicks would be spent on dates already held.
  • You have no itemised quote ready to send, so a paid enquiry would wait while a rival replies with a number.
  • Wedding and corporate work share one landing page, so the spend would not show which side brought the booking.

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.

Tell us what you need
What should we spend on ads in a quiet month?
Enough to test one offer, such as corporate offsites in the monsoon gap. We set that number against what a booking is worth to you, after the first conversation.
Can we advertise for destination weddings?
Yes, aimed at the city the couple lives in, not the town the venue sits in.
Should we bid on our own company name?
Yes, in a small separate campaign. Families who saw your work at a wedding will search for you, and venue listings or planner directories can otherwise take the click. Report it apart from the new searches.
Should we advertise on Instagram too?
Yes, as a second step. Show events, not offers, to people who visited the site or follow you. Use Google search to meet those who are searching now. Judge both by dated enquiries.
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.
