Home service franchise networks · Digital marketing
Run one brand online, with each territory able to stand behind its own listing.
Digital marketing for a home service network covers search, maps, social, messaging and paid ads, aimed at residents who book and candidates who buy a territory. GullySales works on one plan that the brand sets and the territories use.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 home service franchise networks
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Franchisees buy their own ads”
A territory runs a search ad with its own number and price, and the brand's central ad runs beside it. The same resident sees both and the brand bids against itself.
“The budget has no territory rule”
Spend flows where the biggest city is, while a smaller territory with free technicians gets no support. A rule linking spend to capacity avoids paying for bookings that cannot be served.
“Customers and candidates need separate funnels”
A technician looking for a franchise and a resident needing a plumber use different keywords, pages and channels. One account mixing them muddies the numbers.
“Tracking stops at the click”
A click or a call shows interest, but the sale happens at the visit. Without the booking record tied back to the ad, the brand cannot tell which spend produced work.
What we do
What we deliver for home service franchise networks.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel plan by buyer
A plan naming which channels reach residents, associations and candidates, with the role of each.
Result: Each channel has a stated purpose.
Brand and territory ad rules
A rule on who runs which ads, which number and price band to use and where ad creative is kept.
Result: Central and territory ads stop competing.
Capacity-linked spend
A rule that raises or lowers support for a territory according to technicians free, set by your operations team.
Result: Ads are not run for areas that cannot take the work.
Call and booking tracking
Tracked numbers and booking sources tied back to ads, searches and listings.
Result: A booking can be traced to its source.
Dashboard by territory
One view showing bookings, answered calls and franchise enquiries for each territory.
Result: Head office and franchisee read the same figures.
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
Plan digital work around the searches for the job and for the franchise.
- pest control near me
- Answered by the territory Maps listing and a service page with a pincode check.
- AC repair [locality]
- Answered by a territory page and, where the capacity exists, a paid search ad that stops when the technicians are full.
- deep cleaning service booking
- Answered by a booking page that shows which pincodes are served.
- home service franchise opportunity
- Answered by a franchise page with what the brand supplies and a candidate form, with no earnings claim.
- [brand] reviews
- Answered by a trust page and the territory listings, kept free of claims the network cannot back.
Who it is for
This is written for these home service franchise networks.
- Pest control franchise networks
- Home cleaning and deep cleaning franchise brands

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Technicians in a territory are already fully booked, and more advertising there would only create bookings that lapse.
- Franchisees run their own ads under the brand name without a rule, and a central plan would collide with theirs.
- Bookings are not tracked from click to job, so you could not tell which spend led to work.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
