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 corporate gifting and gift businesses

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

  • “A buyer of three hundred hampers wants to hold one”

    The buyer will drive twenty minutes to open the box in person. The listing has to show there is somewhere to come and somebody to meet.

  • “Corporate gifting searches carry a city name”

    Corporate gifts in Bengaluru, gifting company in Peenya. Locality words sit inside the buying search here, which is unusual for a business buyer.

  • “Festival hours decide the shop's takings”

    A gift shop that closes at eight on the evening before Rakhi loses the last rush. The listing is where people check before setting out.

  • “A warehouse address puts buyers off”

    If your registered address is a shed in an industrial area, the listing has to say what a visitor will find, or the visit never happens.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate gifting and gift businesses.

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

  1. A profile set up for the buyer who visits

    Photographs of the display, the sample room, the packing area and finished hampers, with appointment details and the categories filled in.

    Result: A buyer can see there is something worth visiting.

  2. City and locality words used properly

    The service area, the localities you deliver to and the city named in the description and in posts, matching the website pages.

    Result: You appear for the city-plus-gifting searches buyers use.

  3. Hours, festival timings and appointment rules

    Regular hours, extended festival timings for the shop, and whether the corporate studio works by appointment only.

    Result: Nobody arrives to a locked gate two days before Diwali.

  4. Posts that run through the season

    A post when a hamper range is ready, when branding slots are filling and when the last safe order date for Diwali is reached.

    Result: The listing shows a business in the middle of its season.

  5. Questions answered on the listing itself

    Minimum order, branding time, GST invoicing, delivery to other cities and whether individuals can buy, all answered in the profile.

    Result: The wrong buyer filters out.

  6. Calls, routes and enquiries reported

    Searches that showed the listing, calls, direction requests and messages, compared with what the profile was producing before.

    Result: You can tell whether Maps brings briefs or only walk-ins.

How the result is measured

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

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

What Google weighs here

How an admin buyer nearby finds a gifting supplier, and what to fix first.

Gift shop or supplier
Use Gift shop if you have a counter for walk-ins. Use a supplier or wholesaler category only for premises a buyer visits by appointment. Do not claim both on one profile if the premises are really a godown.
Product families as services
List hampers, dry fruit boxes, branded diaries, copper bottles and Diwali boxes. A buyer scanning for hampers should see the word. Add personalisation and logo printing as separate lines with what you need from the client.
Samples by appointment
Say in the description that samples can be seen by appointment, with the hours and who to ask for. A buyer of hundreds of boxes wants to hold one, and a warm walk-in beats a courier of samples.
IndiaMART and TradeIndia
Corporate buyers use IndiaMART and TradeIndia for quotes. Claim the profile on each, and keep the product names, minimum order and contact the same as on Maps. Justdial and Sulekha serve the shop side.
Company reviews with permission
Ask the HR or admin buyer for a review after the delivery, and check if their company allows its name to be shown. A line on delivery to several branches tells another buyer what a bare rating cannot.
Two phone numbers
Give the shop number to walk-ins and a corporate desk number in the description. Mixing them sends a buyer of a large order to a counter assistant who cannot quote, and loses an order worth far more than a sale.

Who it is for

This is written for these corporate gifting and gift businesses.

  • Corporate gifting companies and B2B gift suppliers
  • Promotional merchandise and branded product makers
  • Employee welcome kit and swag providers
  • Festive hamper and dry fruit gift makers
  • Gift shops and gift stores
  • Personalised and custom gift makers
  • Handicraft and artisan gift suppliers
  • Online gifting businesses and gift delivery services

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You work from a warehouse that takes no visitors, so a map pin would send buyers to a locked gate
  • Your gift shop and corporate side share a phone and no one can tell the callers apart
  • You are not able to keep hours and festival timings current on the listing

How it works

How the local SEO 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. 1

    Write down what is true

    Each branch's real address, signboard name, phone, hours and owning Google account go into one record you sign off. Every later listing is copied from it.

  2. 2

    Search as your buyer does

    We search each branch on a phone from points around it, in your buyers' words, and note who appears with what reviews and photos.

  3. 3

    Fix the profile first

    Ownership first, then name, address, pin, phone, hours and business type. Google can suspend a profile with extra words in its name or an address that is not a real premises.

  4. 4

    Build the branch pages and match the listings

    Each real branch gets its own page, and the other listings are changed to agree with it. We write none for towns without a branch, because Google treats near-identical pages as doorway pages.

  5. 5

    Ask, reply and measure

    We agree with each branch who asks for reviews, when and how. Results are set against the baseline recorded before work began, and the branch that is behind gets the next round.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
We work out of a warehouse. Is a Maps listing worth it?
Yes, if a buyer can be met there. Say in the description that visits are by appointment and show the sample room in the photographs. A buyer who cannot tell what to expect does not come.
Should the gift shop and the corporate business share a listing?
Only where they share an address and a phone number. When the studio and the shop are separate places, keep separate listings with their own hours, because the two buyers want different things.
Can we put client logos on photographs of past orders?
Only with the client's written permission. Many companies do not allow it. Use a mock-up with your own sample logo, or a blank branded sample. A logo on a public profile without consent can lead to a complaint and sour an account you were building.
People searching gift shop near me call us, but we only sell to companies. What do we do?
State in the description that the business serves corporate orders by appointment, set the hours accordingly, and choose a category that fits a supplier. Answer these calls politely with the corporate line, or you will collect poor reviews from people you never meant to serve.
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.
