Electronic components distributors · Pay per click advertising

Pay for the click that has a part number and a build date behind it.

Paid search for an electronic components distributor puts your stock in front of a buyer who has just typed a part number or a brand. The clicks that matter are narrow and exact, and many of the others are students, datasheet readers and job seekers. GullySales builds campaigns around the parts you hold, blocks the rest, and logs every BOM and call that comes from them.

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

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

For electronic components distributors

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

  • “Datasheet searchers click all day”

    Someone looking for a pinout or a circuit diagram clicks an advert for the same part and wants nothing from you. The click costs the same as a purchase head's.

  • “The advert promises a part that is out of stock”

    A buyer clicks through, finds no stock, and phones the next counter. The advert should stop when the shelf is empty.

  • “Mouser and Digi-Key outbid you on the exact part”

    On a common part number you are one of many. Bidding blindly against global distributors spends the budget on the searches you are least likely to win.

What we do

What we deliver for electronic components distributors.

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

  1. Campaigns built from parts you hold today

    Search adverts for the part numbers and brand families in stock, switched off for a line when the shelf is empty.

    Result: The advert only promises what the counter can supply.

  2. A negative list from the first searches

    Datasheet, pdf, pinout, circuit diagram, tutorial, course, jobs and project added from the search terms report, not guessed once.

    Result: The budget goes to buyers, not readers.

  3. A separate campaign for students and makers

    Module and kit searches kept apart, with their own budget and a landing page that lists the project parts, so they do not drain the production campaign.

    Result: You see what each kind of buyer costs.

  4. Pages matched to the part searched

    Each advert sent to the page for that part or brand, showing stock, minimum order and a BOM or WhatsApp button, not to the home page.

    Result: The click lands on an answer.

  5. Call and WhatsApp tracking

    A tracked number and a tagged WhatsApp link on the campaign, with each contact written into the enquiry log with the part searched.

    Result: You can trace a BOM back to the search that brought it.

  6. Hours that match the counter

    Adverts scheduled to when a person answers, with a decision about evenings if somebody picks up WhatsApp then.

    Result: You stop paying for clicks that find a closed counter.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

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

Searches to bid on and block

The searches worth paying for in components, and the ones that only look like buyers.

Exact part numbers you hold today
Bid, only on parts in stock, and send each click to that part's page. Pause the advert when the shelf is empty. Expect global distributors on common parts, so watch which parts bring a BOM.
Brand and family plus your city
Bid on searches such as a brand's microcontroller family with the city or market. They carry local intent, and the page can say you are an authorised or independent source.
Datasheet, pdf, pinout and circuit diagram
Block. These searchers want free information. Add each word as a negative and check the search terms report for new ones, such as tutorial, project and code.
Jobs, courses and repair training
Block. Add job, vacancy, course, training, internship and salary as negatives, so a student or job seeker does not spend the budget meant for a purchase head.
Where the click lands
Send a part search to the part page, a brand search to the brand page and a BOM or bulk search to the BOM page. Never send a part-number click to the home page.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a BOM upload from a company, a call about a stocked part, or a WhatsApp with a part and quantity. Log the part and mark which enquiries became 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

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, 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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing 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 pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we bid on Mouser or Digi-Key by name?
Seldom worth it. People who type those names want those sites. Check Google's current policy on competitor names in adverts, and spend on part and brand searches that show your stock. If you try it, test a small budget and count orders, not clicks.
Are call-only adverts any use for a components counter?
They suit a repair or urgent need when someone is at the counter to answer. For BOMs, buyers prefer to send a file, so a call-only advert is a poor fit. Run calls only in hours when a person picks up.
Should we advertise parts we can only source on order?
Yes, if the page says so and gives a date. A buyer who needs a part can accept a wait if he is told. Keep these separate from stocked parts, so you can see which kind of advert brings an order.
How do we track an enquiry that moves to WhatsApp?
Use a WhatsApp link with a tag for the campaign, and ask your counter to write the part and source in the log when the chat starts. Without that note, a good advert looks like it brought nothing.
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.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
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.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
