Industrial automation companies · Digital marketing
Reach the engineer, the plant head and purchase with one plan.
Digital marketing for an integrator is one plan across search, LinkedIn, IndiaMART and trade shows, aimed at the three people who decide an automation project. GullySales sets the calendar, names who owns each channel, and reports enquiries and quotes against it.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 industrial automation companies, the overview.

For industrial automation companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Three people, three different worries”
The engineer wants proof it has been done, the plant head wants payback, and purchase wants the exclusions listed.
“Your engineers are the marketing, and they hate it”
A senior engineer pulled off commissioning to visit a prospect stops following up the day the next project starts.
“Nobody fills a form at eleven at night”
Plant engineers read at odd hours and ring the next morning, so the phone number matters more than the form.
What we do
What we deliver for industrial automation companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
One plan covering search, LinkedIn and IndiaMART
Each channel given a job and a person, so an enquiry is not lost between the portal, the inbox and somebody's phone.
Result: Nothing arrives and sits unopened for a week.
Material written for each of the three deciders
An application note for the engineer, a payback note for the plant head, and a scope and exclusions sheet for purchase.
Result: Each person gets the page that answers them.
Twenty minutes of engineering time a week
A fixed slot where an engineer talks through a recent job and somebody else writes it up, instead of asking engineers to write.
Result: Technical content stops waiting for a free evening.
A calendar built on the plant year
Budget months, the annual shutdown and the exhibition season written into a plan, with what goes out before each one.
Result: You are present when plants are deciding.
One report on enquiries and quotes
Enquiries by source and application, quotes raised and orders won, set against the baseline recorded before work began.
Result: You can drop a channel that never produced a quote.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Where to start for an integrator
Write the application pages and a quote tracker before any ads.
- Application pages
- Write a page for each line you have automated, such as bottle filling or conveyor sorting, with the PLC and SCADA used and what changed. Record which pages the plant engineers read.
- A quote and purchase tracker
- Log each quote with the plant, the engineer, the purchase contact and the next call. Phone the purchase team on the date, and record the reason a quote is lost.
- An engineer's hour for writing
- Give your engineers a set time to write a project note, with the plant name removed if the client requires it. Record who wrote what.
- A target plant list
- List the plants in your region by industry and the control systems they run. Visit them with one page about a similar line, and note the replies.
- IndiaMART and LinkedIn
- Keep the catalogue and the company page accurate. Tag each enquiry by source and filter out the single-drive buyers.
- What to leave until later
- Broad social posting and generic video. Plant engineers check proof, so write the application pages before you spend on reach.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the digital marketing work runs
- 1
Understand the objective
We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.
- 2
Audit available channels
We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.
- 3
Strategise the central idea
One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.
- 4
Implement across channels
Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.
- 5
Measure as one campaign
Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.
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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. 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.
