Architecture firms · Lead generation

Bring in enquiries for the project type and scale you actually want.

Lead generation for architects means enquiries for the project type and size your practice can actually deliver, not every plot owner who calls. GullySales builds the portfolio pages, tender response documents and builder referrals that bring those enquiries in, and records where each one came from.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What lead generation means

Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For architecture firms

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

  • “A poorly matched enquiry costs more than it is worth”

    A small residential enquiry to a firm set up for large institutional work wastes a proposal effort neither side benefits from.

  • “RFP and tender enquiries need a distinct tracking process”

    A tender on a state eProcurement portal carries its own deadline, earnest money deposit and document set, so it needs handling apart from a direct referral enquiry.

  • “A referral from a builder or interior designer is worth cultivating”

    These referral sources send warmer, better-matched enquiries than most advertising, and the relationship deserves its own attention.

What we do

What we deliver for architecture firms.

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

  1. Clear scope statements on the portfolio and website

    Project size and type ranges stated plainly on the portfolio, so a visitor can tell quickly whether their project is a fit.

    Result: Fewer proposal hours go to enquiries outside your real scale.

  2. A separate pipeline for RFPs and tenders

    A log set up so every tender your practice shortlists is entered with its own timeline and requirements, apart from direct referral enquiries.

    Result: A tender deadline does not get missed for being mixed in with other enquiries.

  3. A referral plan with builders and interior designers

    A named list of builders and interior designers whose referrals tend to convert well, with a routine for staying in touch with them.

    Result: Warmer, better-matched enquiries keep arriving through relationships you actively maintain.

  4. A source-tagged enquiry log

    Every enquiry logged with where it came from, referral, portfolio page or a tender listing, reviewed regularly.

    Result: You know which source is actually worth more of your time.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries generated
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries by source

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

Where enquiries come from

The places a project enquiry reaches an architecture practice, and what to write down at each.

A past client's referral
Record the client who referred, the project they did with you and the plot or building the new person has. Thank the referrer and ask whether they are happy to be named.
A contractor, structural engineer or interior designer
Note which professional passed the name and the stage the project has reached. Reply to the professional as well as the owner, so the next introduction comes to you.
A builder or developer's invitation
Record the site, approval stage, the type of project and who else is shortlisted. Reply with a request for the brief and the site documents before you discuss fees.
A public tender or design competition notice
Log the issuing body, the eligibility conditions, last date and any turnover or experience criteria. Decide in writing whether to bid before the team starts drawing.
A website form or Instagram message
Ask the plot size, the location, the budget range and the date they hope to start. Record the source, and send two or three completed projects of a similar kind.
A site board or a visit to a completed project
Write down the board or project that led to the call. Keep a note of it against the enquiry, since these buyers often never type your name into a search.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the lead generation work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your capacity

    We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How do we avoid enquiries outside our scale?
By being specific on the website and portfolio about the project sizes and types the practice actually takes on.
Which channel brings the best enquiries?
Referral from builders and past clients usually converts best, alongside a well-organised, sector-specific portfolio.
How do we know which enquiries are worth a site visit?
A visit is worth it when the owner owns the land, has a rough budget and a start window, and decides with a clear person. Ask these four on the call. If two are missing, send your process note first and book the visit after a reply.
Should we pay anyone for sending us projects?
Some practices thank engineers and contractors with a gift or a fee. Decide your own rule, write it down and apply it to everyone. Check what your professional body's code of conduct says on commissions before agreeing to any arrangement.
How soon would we see more enquiries?
Fixing follow-up discipline is mostly a habit change, so it can start helping as soon as your team follows the new process. Ranking for project-type searches and building referral relationships takes sustained work over a longer stretch.
Do we need to respond to every tender?
No, only the ones matching your team's real capacity and experience, since a mismatched proposal wastes effort on both sides.
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.
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.
