Scrap recycling companies · Content marketing
Write the guides a stores manager reads before choosing who lifts the scrap.
Content marketing for a scrap yard means useful pages and sheets that answer what sellers and mill buyers ask before they commit. GullySales works on guides to grades, weighing and paperwork written from how your yard operates.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means
Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For scrap recycling companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Sellers want to know what happens at the gate”
A first-time seller asks how the truck is weighed, what documents are exchanged and when money arrives. A clear guide answers these before the call, and the call becomes shorter and warmer.
“Mill buyers read grade descriptions closely”
A purchase head wants to see what a lot contains and what it does not. A plain description of forms, mixing and moisture handling builds more trust than a promise of quality.
“Fabricators do not know their scrap has value by metal”
A workshop may lump turnings, cut-offs and rejects together. A guide on separating by metal helps them, and the yard receives cleaner material that is easier to buy.
What we do
What we deliver for scrap recycling companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A seller's guide to your process
A page explaining pickup booking, weighing, documents and payment as your yard actually does them.
Result: A page a stores manager can read and forward to a purchase head.
A guide to sorting at source
Photographs and short text showing factories how to separate metals before the truck arrives.
Result: A sheet you can hand to a plant to reduce mixed loads.
Grade and lot notes for buyers
Plain descriptions of the lots you sell, written to match your invoice wording.
Result: A note a buyer can compare against what arrives.
Answers to the questions callers ask
Short pages built from the questions your phone actually receives.
Result: A list of questions taken from real calls.
A content plan by metal
Which guide to write first, based on which metals you most want to buy more of.
Result: A plan naming each page and the search it answers.
How the result is measured
- Pages published
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from content pages
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Posts and pieces to plan
Plan these guides for the questions sellers ask before the first lift.
- What happens when a truck arrives
- A step-by-step page on gate entry, weighing and the slip, using your own yard's photographs, so a new seller knows what to expect.
- Documents a seller should keep ready
- A checklist page on invoices and transport papers for scrap movement. Ask your adviser to review it, as rules differ by state.
- How payment is settled
- A plain explanation of when and how a seller is paid after weighing. Only state what your accounts team actually does.
- Separating metals before pickup
- A guide with photographs for stores heads on keeping copper, brass and steel apart, which also raises the quality of what you buy.
- What a foundry buyer should check in a lot
- A note on forms, mixing and moisture in a delivered lot, written to match your invoice so a buyer can compare.
- Why mixed scrap sells for less
- An honest page showing sorted against mixed heaps. No rate figures, only the reason sorting helps the seller's own result.
Who it is for
This is written for these scrap recycling companies.
- Ferrous scrap yards supplying re-rolling mills and induction furnaces
- Non-ferrous metal recyclers handling copper, brass, aluminium and zinc
- Factory scrap contractors who clear offcuts, turnings and rejects from industrial estates
- Demolition and dismantling contractors selling structural steel
- Auto scrap and end-of-life vehicle dismantlers
- Cable and wire stripping and copper recovery units
- Aluminium and brass melters who convert scrap into ingots
- Organised kabadiwala networks collecting household and shop scrap for onward sale
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- No one on your team can review facts before a guide goes live, and a wrong statement on documents or weighing is worse than silence.
- You want content to pass on a price promise, which no guide can honestly make.
- Your process changes between visits, so a written guide would be out of date before it is read.
How it works
How the content 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 plan
Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.
- 2
Brief and draft
Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.
- 3
Check the facts
Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.
- 4
Publish and distribute
The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.
- 5
Read the enquiries and adjust
Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.
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.
