HRMS providers · Search engine optimisation

Be the page an HR manager finds when searching for payroll software by headcount.

SEO for an HRMS provider is the work of making your product pages appear when an HR manager or founder searches for payroll, attendance or leave software for their kind of company. GullySales works on the page structure, the words buyers type and the pages that answer statutory questions.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For HRMS providers

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

  • “Buyers search with their size attached”

    The query is rarely the plain word HRMS. It is payroll software for a company of a given headcount, or attendance software for factory workers. A homepage that speaks to everyone matches none of these, so each workforce type needs its own page.

  • “Compliance questions are searched before the demo”

    PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS are typed into Google by the person who has been told to fix payroll. A plain coverage page, written for the finance head, can meet that search and answer the worry that otherwise surfaces in the last call.

  • “Comparison searches decide the shortlist”

    Once a buyer has three names, they search for one product against another. If your page for that comparison is missing, a review site writes it for you. A fair, factual page keeps your side of the story on your own domain.

  • “A feature page is not a page for a role”

    The HR manager, the finance head and the factory supervisor each search with different words. One long features page ranks for none of them. Separate, short pages for each role let each search land on an answer.

What we do

What we deliver for HRMS providers.

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

  1. A search map by headcount and workforce

    A list of the phrases buyers use for each company size and kind of workforce, matched to a page that should exist.

    Result: A sheet of phrases, each paired with a page to build or fix.

  2. Rebuilt product and solution pages

    Titles, headings and copy rewritten so each page speaks to one buyer and one need.

    Result: Each page opens with the buyer's own words.

  3. A statutory coverage page

    What the product calculates and which states it handles, reviewed by your compliance lead, with a note to confirm specifics with the customer's CA.

    Result: A page that can be read by a finance head without a call.

  4. Comparison and alternative pages

    Fair, factual pages for the searches that name a competitor or ask for an alternative.

    Result: A short set of pages for the searches that decide shortlists.

  5. A technical check of the site

    Speed, mobile layout, indexing and internal links reviewed, with a list of fixes in order.

    Result: A fix list your developer can work through.

How the result is measured

How it works

How the search engine optimisation 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

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

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.

How long before the pages rank?
Nobody can promise a ranking or a date, and GullySales does not. Search engines decide, and the competition for payroll terms is real. The work is to build pages that deserve to appear and to read the results in your enquiry log.
Should we write about every statutory rule?
Write about the rules your product handles, in plain words, and say that rules differ by state and change over time. Point buyers to their own CA or adviser for their specific case, and have your compliance lead read each page.
Do review-site listings matter for search?
They matter because buyers read them. Keep your profile accurate and ask customers whose payroll ran well to review you. Check the review site's current rules on how you may ask, and never write reviews yourself.
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.
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.
