Structural and civil engineers · Pay per click advertising
Only two searches are worth buying, and one is an emergency.
Paid search suits a structural practice for the work that arrives urgently: an audit after a crack appears, and drawings needed before a sanction deadline. GullySales runs campaigns for those two and keeps money away from the design work your referrals already bring.
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.

Sales and marketing for structural and civil engineers, the overview.
For structural and civil engineers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Audit searches follow the rain, not a plan”
A committee starts looking after water comes through a slab. The spend belongs in the weeks either side of the monsoon, not spread evenly.
“Nobody buys an architect's engineer from an advertisement”
Design work through practices is won on site and in meetings. Advertising for it spends money on an audience that is not looking.
“The person reading the ad is a secretary”
She has to take this to a general body meeting, so the ad and the page have to say what a full audit involves before any fee is discussed.
What we do
What we deliver for structural and civil engineers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Campaigns for audits and sanction drawings
Two separate campaigns aimed at the committee and the plot owner, each with its own wording, page and budget.
Result: Money goes to the searches that produce appointments.
Budget weighted to the months that matter
Spend concentrated before and after the monsoon for audit work, and through the building season for sanction drawings.
Result: You are visible when the enquiries actually exist.
Landing pages written for a committee
A page setting out what an inspection covers, which tests are run, what the report contains and how long it takes.
Result: A secretary has something she can take to a meeting.
A block list for courses, jobs and material searches
Negative keywords for engineering courses, job seekers, software, cement and steel rates, reviewed monthly as terms appear.
Result: The budget stops funding students and job applicants.
Call tracking with an agreed reply time
Every call from an ad recorded against its campaign, with a named person and a time by which the call is returned.
Result: An urgent enquiry reaches an engineer the same day.
Cost per audit enquiry, reported monthly
Spend compared with enquiries, site visits and appointments by campaign, against the baseline recorded at the audit.
Result: The advertising is judged on appointments won.
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.
Who it is for

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.

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.
