Scrap recycling companies · Digital marketing
Put the yard where factories, workshops and mills already look for a buyer.
Digital marketing for a scrap yard is the joined-up work of search, listings, ads, messaging and records that brings sellers and buyers to your gate. GullySales plans the channels around your metals, your area and the people you want to reach.
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 scrap recycling companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Channels depend on who you want”
A workshop owner clearing offcuts starts at a map search. A mill purchase head starts from a colleague's name or a direct message. Spending on the same channel for both wastes effort on one of them.
“Paid ads suit some metals more than others”
Copper and aluminium searches come from sellers who know their material has value. Searches for plain scrap are broader. Ads sized to the metal and the area avoid paying for clicks from outside your reach.
“Every channel needs the same answer at the end”
A seller who finds you through an ad, a map or a forwarded message reaches the same phone. If that phone goes unanswered, no channel can make up for it.
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 channel plan by seller and buyer type
Which channels reach which people, and what each should say.
Result: A plan naming each channel and the audience it serves.
Search ads for metals and areas
Campaigns for the metals you want and the estates you serve, with a limit on the area.
Result: Ads restricted to the areas where you can lift.
Listings and marketplaces
Google Business Profile, JustDial and IndiaMART set up and kept consistent.
Result: Listings that match your website and phone.
Call and message handling
A number, a saved reply and a person for every enquiry channel.
Result: A route for each channel that ends at someone who answers.
Source-to-lift tracking
Each lift tied back to the channel that produced the seller.
Result: A table showing lifts by channel.
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
These are the searches and routes your yard should answer across channels.
- scrap buyer in a named industrial area
- A search ad limited to that area, sent to an area page, so clicks come from plants your trucks can reach.
- aluminium and copper scrap rate
- A page that invites a call for the current rate. Does not print a figure that will be wrong by evening.
- scrap dealer listing on a business directory
- A directory profile with metals, photographs and the same name and number as your site, so the lead is not lost on a mismatch.
- bulk scrap supplier for foundries
- A buyer-facing page and a LinkedIn presence for mill purchase heads, who rarely respond to a consumer-style advertisement.
- factory scrap tender notice
- A routine for finding open bids and a sheet tracking their closing dates, so a large lot is not missed.
- sell old machinery scrap
- A short page and ad for dismantled plant, sent to a number that is answered and a person who can arrange a visit.
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.
- You cannot lift outside a small radius, and paid clicks from beyond it would be a cost with nothing to show.
- No one is assigned to answer enquiries from each channel, so more channels would only multiply missed calls.
- Your yard has no stock to sell and no space to take more, so a wider push would bring loads you must refuse.
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.
