GullySales

Restaurants · Local SEO

Win the search that happens in a car park two streets away.

Local SEO decides whether you are among the three places Maps shows to somebody standing nearby with an hour to spare. GullySales completes the Business Profile with current photographs, prices and parking, and keeps it saying the same thing as Zomato and Swiggy.

A market cross in a small town square: a stepped stone cross of four worn tiers standing in a ring of cobbles, a coil of stall rope left on the bottom step, a chalk pitch marked out on the stones and a chalk arrow pointing in from the nearest lane

What local SEO means

Local SEO is the work of making your business show up for searches that name your town or locality, such as a service plus an area name. GullySales sets up locality pages, local citations and map listings so nearby customers find you before a competitor across town.

For restaurants

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

  • The three-pack is the whole shortlist

    Nobody scrolls past the first three on Maps when they are hungry and already in the car.

  • Parking decides more than the menu

    In most of Bengaluru, a listing that says where to park beats one with better photographs of the food.

  • Your hours are wrong on a festival day

    Closed for Ugadi while the listing still says open is a one-star review you have earned for free.

What we do

What we deliver for restaurants.

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

  1. The Business Profile filled in completely

    Cuisine categories, hours including festival closures, price for two, dine-in, takeaway and delivery flags, parking, and whether a cake may be brought in.

    Result: The questions that lose a walk-in get answered.

  2. Photographs shot this season, not at the opening

    The current dishes at current prices, the interiors as they look now, the entrance and the parking, uploaded in a batch and refreshed every few months.

    Result: People choose the restaurant that exists today.

  3. The same details on Maps, Zomato and Swiggy

    Name, address, hours, phone and menu prices made to match across all three, since a mismatch confuses the customer and the listing alike.

    Result: One restaurant, one set of facts.

  4. Maps posts for the festival menu and the weekday offer

    Short posts published a week before Ugadi, Onam or Ramzan and again for the weekday offer, because a post reaches somebody searching now.

    Result: The offer arrives at the moment people are choosing.

  5. Questions on the listing answered by you

    The questions section seeded with your real answers on parking, jain food, high chairs and the private area, rather than left to strangers.

    Result: A guest gets your answer instead of a guess.

  6. Maps reporting on searches, calls and directions

    The monthly count of discovery searches, calls, direction requests and website clicks, read against the baseline recorded at the start.

    Result: You know how many covers Maps actually sends.

How the result is measured

  • Map pack ranking
  • Local search visibility
  • Enquiries by locality

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Who it is for

This is written for these restaurants.

  • Family restaurants and multi-cuisine dining
  • South Indian vegetarian restaurants and darshinis
  • Biryani, kebab and non-vegetarian specialists
  • Regional cuisine restaurants
  • Casual dining and bar restaurants
  • Quick service restaurants and food courts
  • Cloud kitchens and delivery-only brands
  • Office canteens and food service operators
  • Multi-outlet restaurant groups

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • 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 monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · Within a few working days

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

  3. 03 · Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

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

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

How the work runs for restaurants

  1. 1

    Assess

    We look at covers by day, the mix of dine-in and delivery, app spend and returns, reviews and how party enquiries are handled.

  2. 2

    Fix the listing and reviews

    An up-to-date Maps profile and a review routine, because that is where tonight's decision is made.

  3. 3

    Start knowing your guests

    A consented guest record and a direct ordering route, so regulars can be reached without an app.

  4. 4

    Fill the slow days

    Weekday, office lunch and celebration campaigns aimed at the tables that sit empty.

  5. 5

    Keep regulars coming

    Occasion messages, festival menus and a steady reason to come back or order direct.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep

    Three to six months at a time. 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 get into the top three on Maps?
Completeness, recent reviews and distance, roughly in that order. Distance you cannot change, so the work sits on the profile and on a steady flow of fresh reviews.
We have three outlets. One listing or three?
Three, each verified at its own address with its own reviews and photographs. A single listing for three outlets sends people to the wrong branch and buries the other two.
Should we leave Swiggy and Zomato?
Rarely. The apps bring new customers you would not reach otherwise. The aim is to rely on them less by moving repeat customers to direct orders and filling tables in the restaurant.
Are paid food blogger visits worth it?
They can put a new restaurant on people's lists, but a bump in followers is not the same as covers. We choose creators whose audience lives nearby, ask for honest content with clear disclosure, and check the following weeks' footfall.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
