SaaS and software companies · Digital marketing
Decide the measurement before the channels, because the board asks first.
Digital marketing for a software company is the plan across search, paid, content and review sites, plus a decision about what each is allowed to cost. GullySales sets the measurement first, puts the money where your named accounts are, and names the channels to leave alone.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

Sales and marketing for SaaS and software companies, the overview.
For SaaS and software companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“At seed stage almost none of it should go on brand”
A company with forty accounts worth winning does not need awareness. It needs somebody working those forty accounts properly.
“The channels that close are not the ones in a dashboard”
A conference floor, a review site placement and a partner introduction all produce closed-won, and none of them appear in a digital marketing proposal.
“You cannot work out your acquisition cost afterwards”
The fields, the sources and the definitions have to be set before spend goes out, because no dashboard reconstructs where last quarter's pipeline came from.
What we do
What we deliver for SaaS and software companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A measurement plan written before any spend
Source fields, campaign naming, the meeting definition and what counts as pipeline, agreed with your AEs and set up in your CRM first.
Result: Next quarter's question already has an answer.
A channel plan that names what you will not do
The two or three channels worth your stage, with a written reason for leaving the rest alone until the company is larger.
Result: Nobody spends a quarter on a channel that was never going to work.
Budget weighted to your named accounts
Money pointed at the companies on your target list through search, job title on LinkedIn and direct outreach, rather than split by channel convention.
Result: Spend follows the accounts your AEs want.
Review site presence treated as a channel
Category placement, review recency and the comparison entries on the sites where your shortlist gets made, worked to a schedule rather than left to chance.
Result: A buyer comparing you finds current reviews.
Events and partners counted in the same plan
Conference tickets, side events and partner introductions given a cost and a meeting target alongside every paid channel.
Result: The booth cost sits next to the advertising spend.
One monthly report across every source
Meetings held, pipeline created, cost per meeting and closed-won by first touch, read against the baseline recorded before work started.
Result: The board deck stops being assembled by hand.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
Who it is for
This is written for these SaaS and software companies.
- Seed and Series A B2B SaaS still selling founder-led
- Bootstrapped vertical SaaS with a small team
- Product-led companies adding a sales motion
- Developer tools moving upmarket into team plans
- Healthcare, fintech and other compliance-heavy software
- Agencies and services firms productising a platform
- Marketplaces with a supply side to recruit
- Companies with a full AE bench and no pipeline to feed it
- Software companies entering the US from another market
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
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 SaaS and software companies
- 1
Assess
In the free audit we trace last quarter's pipeline to its real source, check reply rates and meeting show rate, and look at what happened to inbound signups.
- 2
Stop the inbound leak first
Routing, a first human reply and a call attempt on inbound, because those leads are already paid for and usually the cheapest pipeline in the building.
- 3
Build the list and the message
The account list from your closed-won pattern, the sending domains, and a first sequence written around a trigger your prospect would recognise.
- 4
Run outbound and hand over
Sequences worked daily, objections logged, and every qualified meeting handed to your AE with the research already in the CRM record.
- 5
Report on held meetings
Meetings held, cost per meeting and pipeline by source each month, with the sequences that produced nothing retired instead of quietly continuing.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.
Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.
Sentence Labs
- Situation
- Almost nothing of Sentence Labs was online, so a technically credible company was more or less invisible to the buyers who needed it.
- What we did
- Research first
- The website rebuilt
- Search work across the board
- Google Business Profile
- Result
- No numbers were recorded for this engagement. The work is described in full in the case study.

- Situation
- Patients who knew the hospital trusted it. Patients who searched for a department or a treatment in the area did not find it.
- What we did
- Website rebuilt around patient needs
- Search visibility
- Social media on a schedule
- Review management
- Result
- Organic traffic increased 60% within six months

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.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
