Grocery stores and supermarkets · Pay per click advertising
Pay for the searches by families who live inside your delivery radius.
PPC for a grocery store means paying for searches and map placements where a family nearby is ready to order or visit. GullySales limits the advertising to the delivery area, writes the ads and reads spend against orders and calls.
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 grocery stores and supermarkets
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Ads reach areas the store cannot serve”
A click from beyond the delivery radius gets a polite refusal and the money is gone.
“The ad promises what the shelf cannot supply”
An ad for organic millets on a day the store has none sends a family away with a bad impression.
“Clicks come from comparison shoppers, not families”
A search for cheapest rice price is a person comparing, not a family who wants a store, and the budget leaks away on it.
What we do
What we deliver for grocery stores and supermarkets.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Campaigns drawn around the delivery radius
Ads shown only to searchers within the streets and towers you can serve in good time, with the radius reviewed as the delivery team changes.
Result: You pay for families you can serve.
Call and directions ads for walk-in searches
Ads that show the store, the timings and a call button when someone nearby searches for a grocery store.
Result: A nearby search becomes a call or a visit.
Festival and hamper campaigns
Ads for Diwali hampers and bulk festival lists, started ahead of the festival and switched off after the order cut-off.
Result: The budget follows the days families plan their buying.
Negative keywords for price comparers and jobs
Blocks on wholesale rate, job vacancy, franchise, store opening and cheapest, checked against real search terms.
Result: The budget stops paying for people who will never shop.
A landing page for each ad
A page that opens on the exact offer, the delivery area and a WhatsApp button, not the home page of the store.
Result: A click lands on what the ad promised.
Counting orders from the ads
A tracked WhatsApp link and a call count for each campaign, so every enquiry from an ad has a source.
Result: You know whether the ads brought orders or only clicks.
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
Which grocery searches are worth paying for, which to block, and what counts as an enquiry.
- grocery delivery in [locality] and nearby
- Bid. A family is looking for delivery now. Restrict the area to your delivery radius, send the click to a WhatsApp order page, and note the area on each order.
- supermarket near me and open now
- Bid, with a call and directions ad. Run it during opening hours only, so a family does not call a closed counter and write the store off.
- your own store and brand name
- Bid on your own name cheaply, so an app or a rival cannot sit above you when a regular family searches for you.
- Job, franchise, wholesale rate and store opening searches
- Block. Grocery shop job, franchise cost, wholesale rate and how to open a store come from workers and starters, not from the families you serve.
- cheapest rice, oil and atta price
- Block or bid with great care. A comparer wants the lowest price, and an ad for a regular store rarely wins that click at a cost that makes sense.
- What counts as a real enquiry
- A WhatsApp list with an address inside the delivery area, or a call that lasts long enough to take an order. Count calls and lists, not clicks.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

- 3
Build the cross-platform plan
Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

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
