Salons and beauty studios · Pay per click advertising

Buy the bridal enquiry and the weekday slot, not the walk-in.

Paid advertising for a salon earns its place on the bookings a walk-in will never bring you, mainly bridal packages and the higher-value colour and treatment services. GullySales runs the search campaigns, sends the click to a booking, and stops the money going to job seekers.

A roadside billboard on a steel mast with a maintenance catwalk and ladder, and a coin meter on a post at its foot: the meter's counter has just clicked over and a coin is dropping into the slot

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 daily against enquiries received.

For salons and beauty studios

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

  • A bridal booking pays for months of clicks

    One wedding package is worth twenty haircuts, which is what makes the bidding war on bridal makeup worth entering.

  • Do not advertise what fills anyway

    Nobody needs to pay for haircut near me on a Saturday. Advertise the Tuesday and the treatments.

  • Half your clicks are looking for a job

    Beautician jobs, salon vacancy and hair academy searches sit right beside yours and will empty a budget in a week.

What we do

What we deliver for salons and beauty studios.

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

  1. Campaigns split between bridal and salon services

    Separate budgets and wording for bridal packages and for colour, keratin and facials, so a bridal keyword never competes with a haircut one.

    Result: Neither side of the business starves the other.

  2. The click landing on a booking, not a home page

    Each advert points at the page for that service with the price, the duration and a booking or WhatsApp button within reach of a thumb.

    Result: A click can turn into a slot without a phone call.

  3. Negatives for jobs, courses and academies

    Blocks on beautician jobs, salon vacancy, hair academy, beauty course, salon for sale and the product brand names people search when they want a bottle.

    Result: The budget stops paying for people looking for work.

  4. A form that asks the date and the functions

    For bridal, the wedding date, which functions need makeup, the venue city and whether a trial is wanted, all asked before anyone calls back.

    Result: You know from the form itself whether you are free.

  5. Spend timed to the muhurta and festival months

    Budget raised three to four months before the main wedding dates in your region and ahead of Diwali and Karva Chauth, and held back in the flat weeks.

    Result: You are advertising while brides are still shortlisting.

  6. Cost per booking reported, not cost per click

    Spend read each month against enquiries, trials booked and packages confirmed, measured against the baseline from the audit.

    Result: You can stop a campaign that brings calls and no bookings.

How the result is measured

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

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

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

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 salons and beauty studios

  1. 1

    Assess

    We look at weekday and weekend occupancy, how many first-time customers returned, how bridal enquiries are answered, and what your Instagram and Maps profile actually show.

  2. 2

    Make booking easy

    A clear price list, online booking through Google or WhatsApp, and a reply routine for DMs so no enquiry waits overnight.

  3. 3

    Show the real work

    A portfolio of unfiltered, consented photographs and short videos by service and stylist, and a bridal portfolio sorted by look.

  4. 4

    Fill the quiet hours

    Weekday offers for regulars, rebooking reminders timed to each service, and bridal and festival campaigns opened months ahead.

  5. 5

    Keep the customer with the salon

    A customer record owned by the salon, memberships, a product recommendation routine and a review ask after each good visit.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is advertising worth it for a neighbourhood salon?
For haircuts, rarely. For bridal, colour and treatments where one booking is worth thousands, it pays. The audit works out which of your services can carry the cost.
Should we advertise on Instagram too?
For bridal, yes, because that is where brides browse. Point the advert at a WhatsApp conversation rather than a form, since that is how a bride asks about dates.
Can we say our facial or product clears acne or removes pigmentation?
Not as a promise. Under the Cosmetics Rules, a cosmetic cannot claim to treat a condition, which makes it a drug, and advertising guidelines treat such claims as misleading. We describe what the service involves and how it feels, and leave medical concerns to a dermatologist.
How do we win more bridal bookings?
Reply the same day and offer a paid trial. Brides want to see your real work on skin tones like theirs, not one filtered look. We set up a bridal enquiry flow on WhatsApp and Instagram with package details, availability on the main muhurta dates and a trial booking link.
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.
