GIS and geospatial service companies · Content marketing
Explain what a finished geospatial database looks like to someone who has never seen one.
Content marketing for a geospatial firm means guides, samples and method notes that help an officer or a project head understand what they will receive. GullySales plans and edits content with your survey and GIS leads.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means
Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

Sales and marketing for GIS and geospatial service companies, the overview.

For GIS and geospatial service companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The buyer does not know the questions”
A department asking for a GIS for the first time does not know to ask about coordinate systems, formats or who holds the raw data. A guide that lists the questions makes the firm the explainer.
“Technical depth must be layered”
The officer needs a plain page. The reviewing engineer needs method and accuracy. One page for both loses each. A plain page with a link to the depth page serves both.
“Case notes are limited by permission”
Government work cannot always be shown. A case note can describe the type of problem and the output in general terms, or use a sample, rather than naming the department.
“Rules and standards change”
Notes that refer to rules, formats or standards need review. A dated page with a reviewer avoids stale advice, and general wording avoids stating a rule wrongly.
What we do
What we deliver for GIS and geospatial service companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
First-time buyer's guide
A guide to what to ask for in a mapping project: area, scale, formats, accuracy statement, ownership and handover.
Result: An officer drafts a better request.
Method and accuracy notes
Short notes on how a survey is controlled and checked, written with the survey lead.
Result: The reviewing engineer can compare bids on method.
Sample explainers
Pages that walk through a sample sheet: layers, attributes, legend and formats.
Result: A reader learns to read a deliverable.
Data handling guide
A plain guide on storage, access and handover, with legal terms left to the contract.
Result: A buyer reads the practice before asking.
Case notes in general terms
Notes on kinds of problems solved, with no department or location named.
Result: Proof is shown within what is permitted.
Review list
Pages that refer to rules or formats, each with a reviewer.
Result: Stale pages are found.
How the result is measured
- Pages published
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from content pages
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Posts and pieces to plan
Write the pieces that show a first-time buyer what they will receive.
- What a finished land parcel database contains
- A walkthrough of fields and layers using a sample extract; needs a reviewer from the data team.
- How accuracy is checked on a survey
- A piece on control points and check points, in plain words; needs the survey lead to confirm each step.
- Orthophoto, DEM and point cloud explained
- A short glossary page with images; needs one real sample area shown for each term.
- What to put in a scope for a mapping job
- A guide for officers drafting a notice, listing area, output, formats and acceptance checks; needs your standard scope document.
- How data is stored, handed over and kept safe
- A data handling piece naming formats and storage practice; needs the firm's real policy, not a template.
- A project note in general terms
- A case note describing the job type and method without naming the department; needs the client's permission.
Who it is for
This is written for these GIS and geospatial service companies.
- Municipal bodies and urban development authorities
- Revenue and land records departments
- Electricity, water and gas utilities
- Road, rail and metro infrastructure builders
- Agriculture departments and agri-input firms
- Mining and natural resource companies
- Telecom and tower network planners
- Forest, environment and disaster management bodies
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- No one in the firm will review technical content, and a wrong definition in front of an engineer ends the conversation.
- Clients bar any description of the work, so the pieces would stay generic and prove nothing.
- The plan is to explain the legal rules for mapping, which change and which the firm should not state as advice.
How it works
How the content marketing 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
Agree the plan
Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.
- 2
Brief and draft
Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.
- 3
Check the facts
Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.
- 4
Publish and distribute
The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.
- 5
Read the enquiries and adjust
Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
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.
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.
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.
